When the work-life balance skews too far to the former, it’s time to open a Heineken. Actually opening a Heineken is more of a proactive move in this long-form spot, “The Closer,” the title of which is also the name for an outlandish high-tech bottle opener that immediately shuts down all work applications when a bottle of Heineken is opened with it.
It’s said that when a door closes, a window opens. In this case, when a Heineken opens, your work connection closes.

NHS England, M&C Saatchi UK, Director Tom Tagholm Team On PSA Highlighting The Overlooked Signs Of A Stroke
National Health Service (NHS) England has unveiled a multichannel campaign, โAct FAST,โ to raise awareness of the individual signs of a stroke and get people to call 999 as soon as they suspect they may be experiencing any one symptom. The push, which is part of the ongoing โHelp Us, Help Youโ campaign, was developed in partnership with M&C Saatchi UK.

We highlight how a tiny external moment can actually be seismicโan extraordinary gear change, framed in a really ordinary way.โ
Director Tagholm shared, โMy Dad suffered a stroke a few years ago and was saved from the worst by acting quickly, and by the work of the NHS. So thereโs... Read More
