Work of the Week

As the week draws to a close, we round up the campaigns that caught our eye.

Saving Britain Serious Money by New Commercial Arts

If we want to be taking our money seriously, who better than Dame Judi Dench and her magnificent MoneySuperSeven team to lead the way? Dench revives her role with MoneySuperMarket and takes to tunnels beneath seven UK cities in a high-octane race to help people across the UK save money.

The latest ad was shot by acclaimed film director John Madden and is the brand’s latest work with the London agency New Commercial Arts. Lis Blair, chief customer officer at MoneySuperMarket, said: “We will continue to champion inclusivity in our advertising, and we were delighted to learn that the previous installment scored in the top 3 per cent of ads for its positive portrayal of female characters."

The campaign film celebrates the lengths we go to for our pets, emphasised by the classic track, I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That) by Meatloaf from an owner getting a tattoo of his ferret to waiting for a dog to do its business in a storm.

Smart Plants by McCann London and McCann Health London

McCann London and McCann Health London launch Smart Plants, in collaboration with online plant retailer Plant Drop. Working with University of Oxford botanist, Dr Chris Thorogood, and referring to open-source NASA data, Smart Plants redefines the way we shop online for houseplants - not for their looks but for their smart, pollution-absorbing properties.
