Hasbro: Ageless Care by Ogilvy Brazil
Hasbro’s doll brand Baby Alive has been promoting some relevant thoughts about affection, cuddling and equal gender in household chores in Brazil with its positioning ‘We All Can Take Care’.
Since 2019, the brand has been breaking gender stereotypes by raising the importance of dolls while children develop values such as empathy and respect between boys and girls.
The creative concept by Ogilvy Brazil has just been upgraded with a new ad campaign ‘The Ageless Care’. With this new positioning, Baby Alive celebrates the affection and empathy that lasts through generations. Mainly in Brazil, where the grandparents have a fundamental role on children’s lives, both financial and emotional, the brand reinforces the importance of the care in every stage of life.

Instagram: Yours to Make by Johannes Leonardo
Instagram is putting self-discovery at the heart of its new campaign titled ‘Yours To Make’. The spot, created by New York-based ad agency Johannes Leonardo alongside Facebook’s in-house shop Creative X, sees a group of young people exploring an expansive space that seems to represent the Instagram universe and all its features.
The short video highlights how the app’s users can lean into creative expression and exploration online to become more in tune with who they really are – or want to be.

Savage x Fenty Show by Amazon Prime
Rihanna was back with a star-studded sultry campaign to promote her Savage x Fenty fashion show, which was streamed exclusively on Amazon Prime on Friday. The billionaire songstress teased fans with a clip posted to Twitter to hype up viewers and showcase the lingerie line in an unconventional way through music and dance performances.
During the minute-long trailer, we see the We Found Love singer and her army of models ride elevators to the top of a huge skyscraper and then glamorously make the city their own with Helena’s Do It To ’Em playing softly in the background.
The seductive spot features the likes of supermodel Joan Smalls, pop sensation Normani, model Gigi Hadid and actress Thuso Mbedu. Now in its third year, the annual Savange x Fenty show doesn’t shy away from pushing the boundaries of what a fashion show typically entails, and this new campaign has reinvented the norm all over again.
