Droga5's debut campaign for Harley-Davidson features a 60-second spot that begins with a voice assistant issuing a litany of reminders and commands as a motorcycle rider winds his way through city streets, eventually joined by other bikers and, as they emerge into countryside, silence falls until the voice slowly says, "Breathe. Ride." An additional 60-second ad features a biker describing the sensations and emotions of hitting the road. Full Story: [Ad Age (tiered subscription model)]( (2/10)

" 'Supporting equality' is not enough because it's about action not intention -- speak up for others, amplify diverse voices, recognize your blindspots and learn how to fix them," she writes.

Mekanism's Brendan Gahan and MaRS' Kevin Twomey battle it out over influencer marketing, with Gahan taking issue with a piece written by Twomey that tore the strategy apart and describing it as "dishonest and wasteful." Gahan argues for a more balanced view of influencer marketing, saying, "Influencer marketing can work incredibly well. To say otherwise is false," while Twomey contends that "brands have been too focused on growth marketing and using influencers as a sales tactic to achieve short-term success."
