Women’s Aid subverts England’s ‘It’s Coming Home’ with domestic violence message

Ad by House 337 marks International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women​.

Women’s Aid and House 337 have subverted England’s ’It’s Coming Home’ call to highlight increased cases of domestic violence around the World Cup.

The chilling minute-long film is a single shot panning across an ordinary English street as people enjoying the game, but it then hits one home with a flag reading ‘He’s coming home.’

Women’s Aid developed the campaign in response to the stat that domestic violence cases increase by 38% during the winter months and the fact more men are staying home to watch the games.

Christopher Ringsell, who is creative director at House 337, said: “During this time, as the nation comes together, we want to subvert the usual football tropes and shine a light on the chilling fact that for many women it’s a time of fear, not celebration. They need your support too. The visual spectacle of the flag retains its power, but with a new, chilling twist.“

The spot airs for the first time today, after England’s second group game against the USA. November 25 is also the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

To support the video, there will be out-of-home sites displaying the ‘He’s coming home’ flag. The flag was designed by Corbin Shaw, whose work typically features hard-hitting words over the St George’s flag. Post-campaign, the flags will be auctioned with proceeds going to Women’s Aid.

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...
