More about Nina's great ad choices
Evian: Baby & Me
The spot features adults and their infant counterparts dancing together. The ad follows the successful of the Evian "Roller Babies" spot, which became one of the most-watched ads ever on YouTube.
With 'Baby & Me,' the brand refreshes its historic 'Live Young' concept, which dates back to 1935, when Evian was first recommended as a perfect water for babies, thanks to its pH-neutral mineral composition.
The music on the new spot is Ini Kamoze's "Here Comes the Hotstepper," remixed by French electro artist Yuksek. The Campaign was supported by a baby face-changing app.

Guinness: Wheelchair Basketball
This is a spot with a surprise ending. It presents a group friends playing wheelchair basketball. They are defined as much by their bond of loyalty as their competitive nature, a moving interpretation of the "made of more" strapline.
The ad was created by BBDO New York, and won the People’s choice awards at the 2014 American Advertising Awards, and a Wooden Pencil at the D&AD awards.
