Ignition Develops Arrested Development's Campaign

Shortlist's own Ignition created the hilarious campaign for Netflix's Arrested Development and dare we say (at two episodes in) is probably funnier than the fourth season.

The Mission, 72andSunny And Samsung Are Already The Next Big Thing

The Mission continues their long list of high profile collaborations with this years two minute Super Bowl piece for Samsung out of 72andSunny. Not every spot has wall to wall VFX and CG (like W+K's latest Nike spot also done by The Mission), sometimes you just need some polishing, clean-up and composting all handled with ease (and speed) within a crazy tight turnaround. Check out the hilarious spot directed by Jon Favreau!

The Mission is three for three with the Super Bowl since their inception and the second year in a row working with 72andSunny on Samsung. El Plato Supreme is the hilarious teaser but don't forget to check out the two minute "special" during the game!

And last but definitely not least, Superfad and Cars.com teamed up with agency, Piston, to create several online experiences that will be launching coinciding with the game.
