Sing Like Adele with Spotify

  • What’s happening: Spotify creatively merges a listener’s face with Adele’s album cover to highlight how immersive their music experience can be. The ad invites users to lose themselves in their favorite artist's songs.

  • Why it’s awesome: The visual impact of blending the user with Adele captures the transformative power of music. It’s a playful, engaging, and relatable concept that makes the audience feel like they can truly channel their inner superstar while using Spotify. It’s both clever and aspirational.

Make It Right with BIC White Out

  • Why it’s awesome: It’s simple, visually engaging, and drives home the product's purpose: correcting mistakes seamlessly. The metaphor of fixing real-life problems with White Out connects the product’s utility with everyday challenges in a fun, imaginative way.
