Stink has only gone and signed the talented Molly Burdett to its global roster of directors. Burdett, whose reel includes work for Adidas, NatWest, Arlo Parks, the Mayor of London, and more, says: "For me, it's always been about creating work that feels true and has real meaning. I'm drawn to brave thinkers, and from the very beginning it was clear that Stink shared that same ambition."

"Their commitment to bold, original filmmaking, as well as supporting directors' individual voices is what makes this feel like an incredibly exciting next chapter, " Burdett adds. "Stink's global network gives me the opportunity to keep telling these stories in new markets whilst growing in the UK. I honestly couldn't think of a better team to do it with."

Stink's UK managing director Andrew Levene returns the compliment: "We've admired Molly and her work for a long time. She's a brilliant director, but she's also just a genuinely lovely person and exactly the kind of director we want to work with and support at Stink, building on what she's already accomplished in the UK market. We're thrilled she's joining us."

His American counterpart, Ben Davies, notes: "This is where Stink is at its strongest: working across territories to identify the next generation of filmmakers and storytellers who genuinely connect with the audience and artists who match our culture. Molly has already established herself in the UK and Europe with relevance, craft, and artistry. It is our privilege, and we are very excited, to partner with her in the US."

Back on these shores, Burdett's 2025 spot for NatWest/RBS reminds DAVID of the friendship bracelet factory Mrs DAVID and her friends set up before Taylor Swift's Eras Tour hit the UK.

Scored not by Swift but by Elvis Presley's 'A Little Less Conversation', the ad revolves around a schoolboy encouraged to make and sell his own bracelets. His dad puts £10 into the business, but there's no 'Dragon's Den' shenanigans here—it just goes on the lad's Rooster Money app/debit card. Raw materials in hand, he gets to work.
