The lowdown
Orange has launched a £6 million advertising campaign by Fallon for its pay-as-you-go animal packages.
The new TV ad was filmed in Buenos Aires and depictsa sunny morning in an urban train station with crowds of people lining the platform as two trains arrive.
The doors burst open to release thousands of animal-shaped orange balloons that swell into the air
and through the crowds, signifying that Orange's animal packages are now available to pay-as-you-go customers.
People are then seen playing with the balloons and picking the one they like the best.
The track Hummingbird by the Canadian indie band Born Ruffians features in the ad.
The eight-week campaign will run over TV, print, outdoor and online.

The lowdown
Mother has created a new campaign for Fox's Biscuits, developed by the animation team behind Disney's The Chronicles of Narnia.
To demonstrate brand loyalty, the agency has created a cheeky Italian-American "Mafioso-style" businessman from New Jersey called Vinny. In his escapades, he wants everyone to know about his favourite English biscuit brand.
The campaign, which uses sophisticated animation technology to bring Vinny to life, consists of three TV executions, four 60-second virals and a microsite.
It breaks on air on 28 May and coincides with a relaunch of the brand, which includes a new logo,
packaging and web design.

The lowdown
VCCP has launched the first stage of a £10 million government campaign to tackle binge-drinking.
Part of the Home Office and Department of Health's "know your limits" campaign, the first series of ads
targets middle-class drinkers, alerting them to the unit content of various alcoholic drinks.
The two TV ads show more than ten units of alcohol being comsumed by men and women over a week. One features a glass of gin and tonic with the lime shaped as a figure two; another shows a pint of beer with the head dripping down the glass in a shape of a number three. The strapline of both is: "Units. They all add up."
The campaign, which is supported by outdoor, press and radio elements, will be followed by a second phase targeting binge-drinkers, which breaks in June.

The campaign also includes recut versions of classic Pimm's TV ads and a branded Routemaster bus that will visit festivals throughout the summer. Other elements of the campaign include a sunshine-finder for local pubs and parks across the country that will tell visitors what time they can expect to be bathed in sunshine.
