Best In Show: Huggies (JWT)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Advertising people in London spend at least 11 months of the year utterly convinced that London is the centre of the creative universe.
And then every now and again something comes along from another part of the world that suggests otherwise.
"Geyser" from JWT New York for Huggies is one of those moments. It's a rare gem not least because it zigs to its category zag. And Saatchi & Saatchi knows just how challenging the category can be. Here we have a classic product demonstration delivered with a smile, actually a laugh.
It shows a young dad taking a break from a dinner party to change his baby's nappy. Every time our man lifts the nappy so it's not covering his son, a hose-like torrent of wee blasts out hitting the ceiling, the walls and the furniture. The best bit is when the baby, right on target, hoses the hosts's wedding photo.
It captures a truth, makes its point and elicits some joy all in 30 seconds. So credit where credit's due. Even (and especially) when it's from one of our client's competitors.
