Ad of the Day: Matthew McConaughey promotes sustainable working in Salesforce spot

The software company is doubling down on its sustainability efforts with its #TeamEarth platform.

Back in February during the Super Bowl, Salesforce tapped A-list actor Matthew McConaughey to front its commercial that urged people to take care of our own planet before attempting to travel to others.

Fast forward to this week and the organization has released ‘New Frontier,’ a 60-second spot that sees the Academy Award-winner double down on the message.

In the spot, the actor says: “Hope and trust are in short supply. As businesses, we can blame and shame or we can make a change, we can make work work for our communities.

“Maybe, just maybe, have a bit more unity. Let’s have less cancelation and more conversation.”

Walking down the street, it’s almost like a chant as the actor claps in time to the rhythm – a possible homage to his role as Mark Hanna in The Wolf of Wall Street.

The ad ends with the slogan: “It’s not goodbye word, it’s hello team Earth.”

Actor Dan Levy learns how to craft the perfect margarita in new Cointreau campaign

Want to know the secret behind creating mouthwatering margaritas? Cointreau has tapped Schitt’s Creek star Dan Levy, as well as chefs Nyesha Arrington and Sohla El-Waylly, to explain how. Since Dallas socialite Margarita Sames first created the margarita in 1948, it has become the most popular cocktail in the US, according to Cointreau. The 173-year-old brand has enlisted award-winning actor, writer and director Dan Levy to front its campaign that shows consumers how to make the drink using its orange-flavored liqueur, with the help of celebrity chefs Nyesha Arrington and Sohla El-Waylly. “Cointreau is the key ingredient in my favorite cocktails – an ice-cold margarita and a cosmo on the rocks in a tumbler – so when Cointreau approached me, it was kind of fated,” Levy said in a statement. “Having spent the spring shooting The Big Brunch alongside some of my culinary heroes, I needed to pull up my socks when it came to hospitality – so I chose to start this summer perfecting some co...

Alison Hammond is a medieval countess in Sainsbury’s Christmas ad narrated by Stephen Fry

The British TV personalities star in this tongue-in-cheek ad from the supermarket that puts traditional Christmas pudding front and center. Alison Hammond has adopted the role of a picky countess for this year’s Sainsbury’s Christmas ad. Narrated by Stephen Fry, ‘Once Upon a Pud’ is set in a land far far away where a feast is being planned in the castle. One by one, chefs present their dishes to the countess for approval, but when it comes to the Christmas pudding she has a few choice words. Declaring that she doesn’t like the dessert, the disappointed chef retreats to his kitchen to come up with something better. Advertisement As an orchestral version of the hit noughties tune Teenage Dirtbag plays in the background, the nervous cook presents Hammond with a caramelized biscuit Christmas pudding that she loves. “I absolutely loved playing the countess in this year’s Sainsbury’s Christmas advert. It got me feeling all festive and was such a laugh,” said Hammond. “The Taste the...
