FAVORITE: Polo: Father and Daughter. This spot had me from beginning to end. Great story. Perfect music. Excellent directing. Fantastic little moments. OK, so I'm I new father. But I would've loved it even if I wasn't. Although, would I have gotten all choked up and pretended not to be teary-eyed when someone walked into the room as I was watching the spot? We'll never know.
RUNNER UP: Flying Horse: Cat Toast. Normally, I'm not a fan of weird for weird sake. But I'm also not a fan of cats. So those forces seemed to have cancelled out here and left me chuckling. And it's for an energy drink. So I think they kind of get a pass on having to make a whole lot of sense.

Adopt a pet and create your own stories

The agency hopes to motivate people and instill empathy in them so that they too will want to adopt a pet and create their own unique story with them.

SMS-Saatchi&Saatchi-02_s.jpgSMS-Saatchi&Saatchi-03_s.jpgSMS-Saatchi&Saatchi-08_s.jpgRecently Saatchi & Saatchi Advertising in Thailand moved to the Sindhorn Building on Wireless Road, Bangkok. The move was part of a plan from Publicis group to locate their affiliated companies in one building for shared resources.
 
The new office design would be a challenging project, as both the space and the budget were limited, and the building is somewhat dated.
 
Being a fan of architecture, and even a student of UT Austin's Summer Academy of Architecture, Regional Creative Director Joel Clement volunteered to lead the project on Saatchi's behalf.  He contacted an architect whose work he had been following, aptly named Supermachine Studio. "There are many interior and architecture firms in Thailand, but I wanted Supermachine for this project as they have a proclivity for fun and playful designs," said Clement. "I first learned of them in some of the trade magazines, like art4d, but then became a fan of their blog."
 
"My brief to Jack (Pitupong) and his team was to create a space that inspires, is genuinely fun to come to everyday, and that didn't take itself too seriously." Clement and Supermachine also steered the new design to signal an important shift in the company, which he refers to as the Rebirth of Saatchi Thailand.
