-George Hamilton is back in W+K Portland’s latest for KFC. And no, he can’t sing.

-You will not be surprised to learn that the ANA does not support any further restrictions on data gathering by such companies as Facebook.

-So we all know 4/20 ads are really lame. But Havas Montreal made some pretty nutty ads for potting soil brand Mighty Blend.

-ICYMI, Erich and Kallman’s first spot for New Belgium Brewing stars a real Belgian.

-Also, the Nike “shoe therapy” campaign was based on a true story.

-We totally missed this Campaign roundup of female creatives based in the U.K.

-Ogilvy Montreal acquired Brad … the agency, not the guy.
