TBWA/Media Arts Lab created a two-minute "Flock" spot for Apple that portrays the constant attack on browsing data as a flock of flying surveillance cameras, spying on people across the world until they switch to Safari on their iPhones and the flock explodes. The spot is running across TV, social, YouTube and cinemas, supported by "disruptive" digital ads as users browse online.

Goodby Silverstein & Partners' 60-second spot for Oura features a woman committing to her body by saying marriage vows to herself before placing the brand's ring on her finger. "Today, we're all guilty of ignoring what our body is telling us, so making a commitment to listening to and trusting your body is such a simple, but powerful message," said GS&P's Margaret Johnson. MediaHub directed the media buys, which include debuting on NBC at the start of the Summer Olympics, with 30 airings during the Games.
