Last year Droga5 NY released the “Good Ideas Deserve To Be Found” campaign to celebrate how Meta platforms like Facebook and Instagram have helped people discover new businesses, services and products that aligned perfectly with their interests and passions all through personalized ads.
Now the next iteration of the campaign celebrates small businesses and that moment of discovery when consumers finds a business they love. In partnership with Droga5, director Floria Sigismondi of Believe Media, and Queer icon and Electro-Chanteuse musical artist Peaches, this spot–titled “A (Slightly) Life-Changing Story”–is a tongue-in-cheek musical production that depicts the many good ideas that deserve to be found.
Set changes, ambitious builds and over a hundred extras were used to over-dramatize the world in which we can all find that item or service that perfectly fits our needs–like a really great sponge (Scoop Marketplace) and tasty vegan treats (Bettersweet Vegan Bakery) to a confidence boosting tailor (Eva Joan Repair) and a artistic nail salon that also serves amazing cuisine (Marché Rue Dix). Additional :15s featuring more small businesses will also be rolling out.

Cadbury Dairy Milk has unveiled “Homesick,” a spot from London agency VCCP directed by Steve Rogers via Biscuit Filmworks x Revolver in collaboration with VCCP’s global content creation studio Girl&Bear.
The film marks the latest chapter in Cadbury’s long-running and IPA Effectiveness Grand Prix-winning brand platform “There’s a Glass & a Half in Everyone.”
“Homesick” tells the story of two sisters separated by 6,000 miles. Set against the neon glow of Kuala Lumpur, the film opens with the older sister calling home. After the call ends, she reaches for an envelope--an eagerly awaited piece of home--and discovers a Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate bar lovingly wrapped inside. There’s just one twist: her younger sister has already eaten a generous portion of it. A tiny alien sticker holds together what remains of the bar, an unmistakable signature of sibling mischief. It’s a small, human moment--tender, funny and instantly relatable--capturing the way even imperfect gestures can mean everything when you’re far from home.
The campaign was created by VCCP creatives Emma Jackson and Aly Lane and aims to reinforce Cadbury’s role as a fabric-of-the-nation brand--one that understands and reflects the emotional connections people share every day. As loneliness rises and feelings of belonging decline, Cadbury believes these small acts of generosity have never been more meaningful or more relevant.
