Mitsubishi is touting its Super All-Wheel Control in a 60-second spot from BSSP that features its Eclipse Cross racing through the rain interjected with shots of pianist William Joseph and violinist Damien Escobar re-creating "I Wanna Rock" by Twisted Sister. The automaker has announced the campaign is its biggest advertising spend in 11 years and marks its return to network TV after a decade, with the push running across CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox as well as digital, YouTube, Hulu and out-of-home.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has broken his silence on the Cambridge Analytica crisis, stating in a blog post, "I've been working to understand exactly what happened and how to make sure this doesn't happen again." Zuckerberg described the steps the company is taking: auditing all apps with access to user data before 2014 security updates; adding extra restrictions on access to data for developers; releasing a News Feed feature that will allow users to see which apps have access to data and revoke permission; and working with regulators to investigate the crisis.
