| Momoa, mo problems. Advert A Minecraft Movie's Jason Momoa swaps blocks for bricks to promote World Play Day—also known as International Day of Play—for Lego, though all is not well at HQ. Concerned by a lack of interest in the event, the board of directors (all made from Lego, of course) wonder if playtime's over forever. Thank goodness, then, for solar panel salesman 'playmaker' Momoa. |

In Short Advert AirBnB 'Things to Do That Stay With You' 
Money can buy souvenirs, but Airbnb says it pays to prioritise experiences... even if some of them lead to tighter belts or a sore backside. Advert Mapfre 'Runaway Cart' 
Life is cart for the young man in this Mapfre commercial. When a supermarket trolley rolls off in a packed car pack, only he can prevent certain disaster… right? Advert Jägermeister 'Crab' 
More citrusy chaos courtesy of director Claas Ortmann and Jägermeister, who wants all eyes on its new orange-flavoured digestif... no matter what else happens to be in the fridge. Advert LVCVA 'Pack for Vegas - Tarot Reading' 
Another short but funny spot lands for LVCVA. This time, we find a female protagonist having her tarot cards read. She’s largely unfazed by the predictions. Advert The Great Frog 'Born Great' 
Played by Graham Charles, Mr Argentine's a businessman who plays by his own rules (not in a David Sullivan way, thank Christ) and wears jewellery made by The Great Frog. Advert Martini 'The Martini Man' 
Who'd win in a fight between the Milk Tray Man and Jonathan Bailey’s Martini Man? That’s not what the apéritif's new commercial is about, but feel free to mull it over at home. Advert Chery 'Tiggo' 
Chinese car maker Chery's efforts to become a household name have involved Peter Crouch and Mo Farah so far with little to no room for 1970s punk rock... until now. Advert Cayman Jack 'Jacked' 
A second instalment of this new campaign for Cayman Jack possesses all the verve of the first with added underwater photography. Advert Cayman Jack 'Core' 
You don't actually need to crack open a can of Cayman Jack to enjoy the refreshment provided by the drink within... watching this ad is sufficient! Advert Booking.com 'Subway' 
Booking.com’s latest commercial opens with a woman gripping a subway rail, there in body, but not in mind. In her imagination, that same hand rests on the balcony of a stunning villa. Advert Balenciaga 'A New York Minute - Late Night' 
The final instalment in a trio of films for Balenciaga’s Fall 2026 collection. This time, actor Sarah Pidgeon arrives home late at night, not realising she’s left her handbag in the taxi. Advert Balenciaga 'A New York Minute - Dry Cleaners' 
One of three films shot entirely in Manhattan for Balenciaga’s Fall 2026 collection. Actor Sarah Pidgeon steps into her local dry cleaners to collect her clothes, but leaves with much more. News Bite Henry welcomes Simone Sebastian as Executive Producer. Paris-based production company Henry's new Executive Producer is none other than Simone Sebastian, who joins after three fruitful years at Park Pictures. Sebastian says: "I'm excited to work with Henry's exciting roster of directors who each combine cinematic experimentation with new-gen sensibilities. I’m also eager to work with the team on an international proposition engineered for our current climate - agile, culture-first, and truly global." News Bite Phil Oldham and Jonathan Box become Creative Directors at Black Kite Studios.

He says it's a "genuine privilege" to help shape the company's future and nurture the next generation of talent with fellow CDs Mark Hills, Daniel Beckwith, and Steve Lane. |
 Advert Take me home.Jason Sudeikis plays himself rather than Ted Lasso in Visa’s pacy World Cup spot. Ensconced in the UK to film season four of the Apple TV show, the American doubts he'll make it home for the finals. When he remembers how easy it is to pay for all things World Cup with his card, however, Sudeikis might just make it back in time after all.

 Advert What happens in Vegas, stays in VegasLVCVA - the Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Authority - might not sound like the most exciting brand to work with. With a name so long it needs an initialism, you’d be forgiven for expecting them to be a little uptight. But their latest campaign, Dress for Vegas, proves the opposite. Rather than taking themselves too seriously, they lean into the city’s iconic mantra: “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.”

 Advert A Must Win GameBurberry draws inspiration from Britain’s enduring love of football and the unmistakable atmosphere of match day - whether it’s the touchline energy of a children’s Sunday league game with coaches and parents, or the charged excitement in the stands of a Premier League clash. The ad features a whole host of celebrities but Stephen Graham stands out in particular,

| Don't cook, won't cook. |
Advert |

Gordon Ramsay is a man on a mission... to stop the nation cooking. With 104 102 World Cup matches to be watched, this is no time to be stuck in the kitchen wrestling with pots and pans - you need to be in your living room, stuck in front of your telly, captivated by *checks notes* Qatar's Group B clash with Bosnia and Herzegovina. At least that's what this excellent Uber Eats ad would have us believe. |

 Advert Take it slow.Adland's blessed us with many, many sloths over the years (Mrs DAVID thinks they're creepy as hell for some reason). From Neil for Sofology and Three’s dolph-a-sloth to the puppet used by Eve Sleep, these measured mammals pop here, there, and everywhere to sell all kinds of products. The latest is orange juice, with Tropicana eager for viewers to get a kick like the one rendered here.

 Advert Come together.In the blink of a dry eye, the Information Age has turned into the Information Overload Age. For better or worse, new mums have access to more advice, more hacks, and more tips and tricks than ever before. Infant and follow-on formula brand SMA wants to show how a glut of information's not all it's cracked up to be in early parenthood.

 Advert World Cup madness.Daisy May Cooper brings her distinctive brand of comedy to this ad for the FA's official app which is being launched just ahead of the World Cup – which starts today, in case you haven't heard. Writer-director Ali Dickinson has provided the comedy actress with some lovely bits of business as she tries to promote her own version of the app before, ultimately discovering that it is all in vain because the FA have copied her... again.

| Confessions II |
Promo |
|
Almost seven years to the day since 'Madame X' was released, Madonna's back with a vengeance. Directed by TORSO (Florent Turpin and Rodrigo Inada), 'Confessions II' is a fourteen-minute promo for six songs from the album of the same name. The music's a big deal, of course—a sequel to 'Confessions on a Dance Floor', no less—but the film's where it’s at, to be honest. |

 Advert Sinister deliveries.You have to love a commercial where it feels as though each time the client, the agency and the director had the opportunity to play it safe... they went the other way, and this ad for Tesco's Whoosh delivery service is a perfect example.

 Event Soho Social - June EditionThe Quarry's Soho Social is back for in its rightful place on the last Wednesday of the month. As always, this is a social and networking event like no other... no need to pretend to listen to some dull interview or watch a boring short film, just unfiltered conversation with friends, acquaintances and strangers while a weary pair of security guards urge you to keep out of "the fucking road".

 Advert Pass it on.Willie Nelson provides the soundtrack for a clever Heinz Tomato Ketchup commercial that condenses a whole day into 60". Scored by the 1978 classic 'All of Me', the ad takes place in a diner where everyone wants a shot at the red stuff. There’s only one glass bottle to go round, however, so it's important to keep a lookout.

 Advert Humanity for the WinCoca-Cola’s latest commercial brings together José Mourinho, J Balvin, and Peter Drury to capture the full spectrum of emotions the World Cup pours into homes, bars, and streets across the globe. It’s a reminder of football’s unique power to unite millions on the same unpredictable roller-coaster.

 Promo All or Nothing (feat. Labrinth)This is the new pop promo for artist Tobe Nwigwe’s latest track All or Nothing, featuring Labrinth. Both artists are known for their genre-blending sound and distinctive visual style, and in that sense, the music video doesn’t disappoint. Labrinth appears in a head-to-toe red contemporary outfit, while Nwigwe wears more traditionally inspired attire.

 Promo SoulmatesArtist FKJ - also known as French Kiwi Juice, a nod to his French mother and New Zealand father - releases the music video for his track 'Soulmates'. True to the track’s laid-back feel, the visuals mirror its mellow energy. There’s a clear sense of restraint, with much of the video centred on FKJ jamming at home.

 Advert Twice the FunAllwyn, the company behind the National Lottery, has unveiled a new campaign to promote the launch of their new Lotto. While the game remains familiar, there’s a key twist: when players buy online, they now get two chances to win. It’s the biggest change to the game since its launch in 1994, and with improved odds, the number of Lotto millionaires is expected to more than double each year.

 Event Straight 8 Shootout - Cannes 2026.Once again, the most fun to be had in Cannes comes not in the form of a yacht party or at a villa owned by a 1980s sex pest but at the Cinema Les Arcades on Friday morning where Ed Sayers will be hosting the annual Straight 8 Shootout.

In March, cryptocurrency platform Coinbase released a commercial inspired by low-poly graphics and the behaviour of non-playable characters (NPCs). The brand's latest spot abandons that Playstation/Nintendo 64/Sega Saturn look, but leans further into the idea that consumers have become little more than vessels controlled and programmed by traditional banks. |

 Advert Welcome to the family.This is the best of three new ads with connects Taylors of Harrowgate with people who are serious about their love of coffee. Irvine Iqbal's excellent VO is the glue that binds the whole thing together as we are introduced to punters whose life choices are built around their dedication to the caffeine hit they get from great quality coffee.

 Advert Chaos.Given the symbiotic relationship between the Wimbledon tennis tournament and the BBC - whose coverage is now so smug, DAVID is forced by all the cringe into a foetal position when watching - you'd think that the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club would be content to let the broadcaster promote it, but, no, not for the first time, they've put out their own film... and it's a curiosity, to say the least.

 Advert Brass balls.The Netherlands have never won the World Cup (the clue's sort of in the name). They came close in 1974, 1978, and 2010, but Oranje have yet to claim gold, so to speak. Perhaps the support of both kit maker Nike and Dutch streetwear brand Patta will provide extra motivation over the next few weeks. The tone is set with a film directed by Paul Geusebroek.

Short Film |

A film like this one for Christel House sets out to raise awareness of the institution at its centre and if, like DAVID, it is an institution of which you were previously ignorant, that aim is incredibly important. As they say, you only get to make a first impression once so you better make it count, and under the stewardship of EP Andrew Porteous - who has a personal connection to Christel House - director Paul Burger has wrung every drop of emotional potential from the opportunity to introduce people to this charitable endeavour. |

 Advert Sore loser.Many American ads like this one for Champion Energy Services remind us of when Ron Burgundy said: 'Boy, that escalated quickly... I mean, that really got out of hand fast.'

 Advert A liga of their own.Romania may not have qualified for the World Cup, but they can be proud of this Liga I/Superliga commercial, at least. When director Christopher Ranson had to choose where to start, one clip stuck out like a sore thumb: an interview with Universitatea Craiova manager Emil Sandoi that was interrupted by an honest-to-God lion cub. Imagine if a Millwall fan tried that at the Den, eh?

 Promo Take Me BackDAVID's in a Sicilian mood at the moment. Mere days after he completed 'Mafia: The Old Country'—a sun-kissed, blood-soaked game set in 1900s Sicily—Canadian singer Charlotte Cardin and director Vincent René-Lortie present a music video set on a small island off the coast of Sicilia. Rather than a tale of moral decay and forbidden love, 'Take Me Back' tells a story about memory and second chances.

 Advert Bossing it.This ad for Royal London expresses a simple idea in a very earnest way, and succeeds in getting it across in a fashion which may well resonate with punters. The advertised insurance company is owned by its customers and to illustrate this, the security guard in a booth at the HQ car park greets everyone who arrives as a boss.
