Amanda Anisimova may not have won the 2026 Cincinnati Open (she lost in the quarter-finals to Jessica Pegula), but we doubt she'll forget the tournament in a hurry.

In November 2025, American rapper Pink Siifu released ‘Black!Antique; Onyx'!’, an extended take on that year's 'Black'!Antique' album. One of the new songs, 'Devil's Advocate'!' gets its own music video at last... and we're pleased to say it was worth the wait.

Gillian Anderson goes from 'Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma' to part three of Marks & Spencer's 'Love That' campaign—now that's what DAVID calls whiplash. After a couple of painkillers and a lie-down, however, he's ready for a bloodless treat set in the Victoria and Albert Museum's National Art Library.

Sometimes it feels like we're undermining the director's contribution when we observe that the voiceover artist is largely responsible for the success of a piece of work, but this time around we feel sure that the director will not mind us saying this. That's because Jeff Low, director, and Jeff Low, voiceover artist, are one and the same.

Viewers get two sinks for the price of one in this wet and wonderful Calvin Klein commercial. One is 'Stranger Things' and 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' actor Sadie Sink, and the other is… her kitchen sink. In director Aidan Zamiri's latest 'Feel the Fit' spot, the flesh-and-blood Sink is too lost in a denim reverie to care about her sink overflowing, her toaster going haywire, or her washing machine spewing out bubbles.

EA Sports FC 27 says pre-order life rewards Tom Davis, KSI, and Adebayo Akinfenwa, while non-pre-order life leaves others shaving heads and watching paint dry.

Director and photographer Philip H J Gay is now represented by Park Village in the UK. Gay, who flits between London and Paris, has a portfolio that reads like a magazine stand: i-D, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, GQ, Elle… you name it, chances are the Gloucester-born talent has shot for it. Off the back of his debut short film, 'Heaven To Know You', Gay's keen to develop his showreel even further.

Now on the books at The Corner Shop, director Jake Mavity says the company "has some of the best storytellers in the game, so I'm chuffed to bring my style of big, emotional filmmaking on board." As Mavity makes himself at home, founder Anna Hashmi shares her thoughts on the ever-reliable director.

DAVID feels seen! Haven't we all, at one time or another, wriggled around on a bed after pulling our slim fit jeans over our hips and feeling that triumphant guilty pleasure of knowing that they fit... sort of. The young woman in this stylish commercial need not worry: her jeans are an exquisite fit, and her celebration has as much to do with her joie de vivre at just being herself as it does with the clothes she is wearing.

Four Audis are up to no good at the racetrack in this mischievous piece of marketing which serves to remind us that the German car manufacturer is participating in Formula One these days. They also want to let us know that they are producing electric vehicles, hence the tagline "it's always the quiet ones". It is a blessed relief to know that BBH London has been given the task of advertising Audi once again... they may have had the account for the last few years, but there has been some imported dross in that time, which has fallen well short of the standards they have set.

The child-friendly fashions of Zara come to the fore in this beautifully choreographed ad for the inexpensive retailer from directing team D+Y. A thumping track by Eman Reiff called 'Black Cat White Cat' provides a perfect soundtrack for David Vu's choreography, some of which is performed by DONTSTOP DANCE. East Asian performances can to occidental eyes sometimes be overly regimented, but here the movement is casual and engaging throughout and commands our attention.

Good Neighbours are Oli Fox and Scott Verrill, two guys from London with a blue sky mentality (also the name of their 2025 debut album). For all we know, they might also be fans of Bluesky, the social media platform. For now, though, let's assume it means a breezy, upbeat outlook that leads to songs like 'Mary Jane'.

This riveting promo for 'Don't Eat, Don't Sleep' by Gliiico explores the sleazy underbelly of the urban jungle through the prism of a chain-smoking male protagonist on the lookout for cheap thrills and who knows what else. The seediness seeps off the screen like a weeping wound in a meandering and purposeless sequence that grips your attention like an attack dog.

Merman has signed director and badger whisperer Tiny Bullet to its commercial roster, which the company says had a "Tiny Bullet-shaped hole in it" for too long.

Owen Cooper of 'Adolescence' fame provides the voiceover for this terrific film advertising Liverpool's new kit merch. Liverpool may no longer be the "bastion of invincibility" that Bill Shankly once boasted about but a visit to Anfield is still a daunting proposition and the place itself has tremendous cultural heft. At the time of writing, we have been unable to identify those responsible for the sound design and music... it is terrific and they deserve a shout out.

London-based writer and director Claudia Lee has completed her move to Teepee Films. "Claudia is exactly the kind of filmmaker we love to champion," Executive Producer and Founder Tom Precey explains. "She has an incredibly distinctive voice, a strong visual sensibility, and an instinctive understanding of character and emotion that can blend perfectly across commercial genres and brands.
