Descripción

Caitlin Clark is starring in Eli Lilly's new "Start How You Can" campaign from Wieden+Kennedy Portland — and it is a meaningful shift in how a major pharmaceutical company is showing up in culture. The campaign positions exercise, not medication, as the frontline message for health. It launched at the Indiana Fever opener and rolled out nationally across TV, social, print, cinema, and major city takeovers. Joining us to talk about it: Lina Polimeni, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Consumer at Eli Lilly. In the WORLD FAMOUS TWO MINUTE DRILL: WPP US President Michael Houston is stepping down after 24 years at the holding company — transitioning to senior advisor as CEO Cindy Rose continues reshaping the operating model. It is upfronts week in New York. NBCU celebrated its 100th anniversary at Radio City with a sports-heavy pitch, AI-powered live contextual advertising launching in Q4, and Vin Diesel announcing four Fast and Furious shows coming to Peacock — Tina Fey joked they were "throwing themselves a huge birthday party so they can sell ads during it." Fox went all-in on the World Cup and Tubi at NYC Center — 100 million monthly active users, a new AI-native ad operating system called Fox Fan OS, and James Corden is coming back to host a late night show after World Cup matches. Amazon went big at the Beacon Theater — Oprah, Chris Pratt, Michael B. Jordan, Diplo, Kacey Musgraves, and the official greenlight for Fourth Wing. And Xavier Blais posted about Heinz rival wipes and it's very good. Then JD Jurentkuff, CCO of LOLA USA, and Mo Adlouni, Global Senior Director of Marketing at adidas, join us to go inside "Backyard Legends" — the five-minute World Cup film that dropped last week and is already being called an instant classic. The agency is brand new. The film is enormous. We get into how it got made. Then it is B&E's voicemail segment — listener call-ins with their best ideas and pitches played live on the show. And to close: Megan Graham, reporter at The Wall Street Journal, joins us to break down what is actually happening at the upfronts from a retail media and advertising perspective. Retail media is reshaping how media gets bought. Billions of ad dollars are at stake. This one is retail media upfronts for the rest of us.

GS&P's Next Gen, McDonald's World Cup Ad, Edelman's First-Ever Creator Chief & OnePay's New CMO

Presented by Rothmans — 100 years of taking New Yorkers as they are and dressing them better.The next generation of advertising is here. GS&P's The Academy, the year-long free creative training program run by Zach Canfield and Dan Balser inside Goodby Silverstein and Partners, just graduated a new class. They are joining us on the show today. The Academy is GS&P's attempt to fix the industry's broken talent pipeline, taking aspiring copywriters and art directors through a full year of real-world training in San Francisco. We are showing their work and talking about what it actually takes to break in right now.In the WORLD FAMOUS TWO MINUTE DRILL:– WhatsApp announced "Bukayo Saka: The Time Is Now," a documentary coming to Disney+ in June featuring Saka and Thierry Henry after Arsenal's first Premier League title since 2004– McDonald's dropped its World Cup campaign from W+K New York with Beckham, Ronaldinho, Thierry Henry, Yamal, and Pulisic all acting like regular McDonald's fans, directed by Stacy Wall, with collectible cups– Havas is launching a record label to reshape brand music partnerships– The 2026 Gerber Baby has been announced– Ulta Beauty posted Q1 growth across every major channel and VaynerMedia just won the creative account– Coca-Cola completed its World Cup trilogyAt 11:25 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpacmR5GOic&t=685s] we are running The Breakdown, presented by Rothmans. KFC Sweden and Uncommon Stockholm dropped "Bucket For One," a campaign to launch a new solo bucket for people who don't want to share. The tagline is "Protect Your Bucket For One, By Any Means Necessary." The imagery is high-res close-ups of tongues, fingers, breath, and moustache hairs uncomfortably close to the chicken. It is almost pleasurably disgusting and completely brilliant.Then Jessica Williams, the new CMO of OnePay, joins at 11:40 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpacmR5GOic&t=700s]. She just left Shopify, where she was Head of Brand Marketing and Partnerships, running campaigns with MrBeast, Alix Earle, Cardi B, Tom Holland, and Emma Grede. Before that she led consumer marketing at Coinbase and brand work at Visa. This is her first CMO role and she joins us to talk about why she left one of the most exciting brand jobs in tech to go build a financial services brand for Americans the current system has left behind.And to close, Kenny Gold, Edelman's first-ever Global Chief Creator Officer, joins the show. It is a newly created title that went live June 1. He comes from Deloitte Digital, where he built their social and creator practice from scratch, and before that led social at Grey Group including helping P&G's DistanceDance with Charli D'Amelio become one of the most viewed TikTok campaigns of the pandemic. With 200 creator specialists globally, Edelman is betting that creator is no longer an emerging channel. It is the channel.

episode Steph Curry to Li-Ning, Coors Light's Infrared Summer Ad & Nike x McDonald's x Devin Booker artwork

Steph Curry to Li-Ning, Coors Light's Infrared Summer Ad & Nike x McDonald's x Devin Booker

Presented by Rothmans — 100 years of taking New Yorkers as they are and dressing them better.Coors Light just dropped one of the more visually arresting summer campaigns in recent memory. The brand shot a new ad entirely through an infrared camera — showing the heat signatures of people baking in the summer sun, and the thermal contrast of cracking open an ice-cold Coors Light. No voiceover needed. The Blue Mountains turn cold and you can see it. It is product truth done through a completely different lens and it is very good.In the WORLD FAMOUS TWO MINUTE DRILL: * Javier Campopiano left Omnicom two weeks ago and is already the new Global CCO for Leo Constellation Americas and Iberia at Publicis. His co-CEO Marco Venturelli had been texting him "come home" for years. He finally replied "pronto." * LEGO named Jason Momoa as their Playmaker for World Play Day on June 11 — a "Never Stop Playing" campaign from their in-house team with Chaos x Magic, built entirely through a comedy lens. 44% of families globally are not hitting the five weekly hours of play that research says improves wellbeing. * Steph Curry just ended his sneaker free agency by signing a 10-year deal with Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning — the biggest sneaker free agent in basketball history didn't go to Nike, didn't go to Adidas, and said he was sold after testing Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade's shoes. * And Serena Williams returns to tennis in a new Nike ad. Then Amanda Mulligan, Director of Social Media and Creators at McDonald's, and Paddy Treacy, Creative Director at Wieden+Kennedy New York, join us to break down the Nike Book 2 McDonald's sneaker — a limited edition collab inspired by the iconic turquoise-arched McDonald's in Sedona, Arizona that became a desert scavenger hunt. Booker's team called W+K knowing they work with both Nike and McDonald's. That is how this started.Then Doug Sweeney, CMO of Oura Ring, joins us on the launch of the Oura Ring 5 — the brand's smallest and slimmest ring yet, made with agency partner Nice&Frank. Three campaign spots built around the quiet power of a single finger. We talk differentiation, the wearables market, and where Oura goes next.And to close: Melissa Rosenthal, Co-Founder of Outlever. Former VP of Creative at BuzzFeed, CRO at Cheddar, CCO at ClickUp. Now helping brands build their own media engines and own their audiences instead of renting attention. We talk about why owned media is having a moment and what brands are getting wrong about content.More from Breaking and Entering Media:💼 Follow on LinkedIn⁠   / ⁠   [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbVBGbUJYLW1TUHVIYjdINXFaNVM3RkIzQUxIUXxBQ3Jtc0ttOE02d3VxRUF2dUZiY1NIVzZjZG1iQ2VKTk5WaUhRX1A1MVVVeGhRM1duNkxMSTU2bzZJV0Fwa0xqeHJrNTNkcWRJUUZVbUduM3BYa1BYQmJ3cW1kT0NJY0lNanlQTXNLRjJQM0hNVzdvRXZoWThvSQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fcompany%2Fbreaking-entering-podcast%2F%E2%81%A0&v=0L_xOvfoZ_I]📖 Read our Publications⁠ https://www.breaking-entering.com/blog⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa0IxdDJkSEh5dnpvT3lQLThjSG1leVpEbnFXZ3xBQ3Jtc0trcjRRR2Y1YU0zNTg5dkEwQjZ6bDhNcVNTSUpxQzFyNmxoN0UwRFNLbWp0V0JtRWYyajZKM3ppZmt5M0VodVVHTVVWYjhpQ2g5ZVRtM1lobmoweVVLTXMtNkZ1Wmd3NGh3VlVRUDdqeVlSaE8weFBUcw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.breaking-entering.com%2Fblog%E2%81%A0&v=0L_xOvfoZ_I]💬 Join our Unlocked GroupMe⁠ https://groupme.com/join_group/102437...

D&AD 2026 Results with D&AD President Lisa Smith, Nate Rosen (ExpressCheckout) talking about new Olipop Rebranding & T.J. Jagodowski and Peter Grosz on Jiffy Lube's New Campaign

Presented by Rothmans — 100 years of taking New Yorkers as they are and dressing them better. D&AD just announced its 2026 Pencil winners and joining us to break it all down is Lisa Smith — D&AD President and Global Chief Design Officer at Uncommon. 573 Pencils were awarded across 46 categories from over 50,000 entries submitted from 89 countries — the highest in D&AD history. The US led with 235 Pencils. Singapore had its best year ever with 11 Pencils including 5 Yellow, placing joint third globally. Three new categories debuted this year: Sport Entertainment, Cultural Influence, and Brand Transformation. Uncommon Creative Studio London won three Yellow Pencils for Periodic Fable — the campaign for The Ordinary that reimagined the periodic table with zero actual science. Lisa's quote: "What stood out most was the sheer creative bravery and excellence on display." We get into all of it. In the WORLD FAMOUS TWO MINUTE DRILL: Nike dropped a World Cup teaser. Olipop unveiled its first major rebrand since 2018 — bolder, brighter packaging, hand-drawn late 60s and early 70s illustrations, fiber info front and center, and a new "Feel Good Soda" campaign rolling out on CTV and social.

Protein is everywhere. Fibermaxxing is real. And David Protein just launched Cod 2 — a tinned wild caught Atlantic cod from Danish waters with 18 grams of protein, 70 calories, and two ingredients: cod and salt. The internet assumed the boiled cod last year was a stunt. It was not. Now it comes in a tin. Then T.J. Jagodowski and Peter Grosz — two of the most recognizable actors in advertising history — join us to talk about Jiffy Lube's new campaign. These two have been making people laugh in commercials for a long time. We get into the work and the craft of staying funny.
