-A dollar doesn’t go nearly as far as it used to. It can’t buy you a soda at the vending machine or a coffee, and it’s not even good enough for a kid expecting more from the Tooth Fairy. New York-based EveryPlate, an affordable meal kit service owned by Hello Fresh, is out with a new effort that aims to drive awareness about its high-quality meal kits at a mind-blowing good deal. Denver-based creative agency Good Conduct shows that a dollar is actually worth something with EveryPlate, including steak.

-To mark the return of True Detective: Night Country, streaming service Now has created an innovative billboard with light sensitive paint, to create a unique day-to-night transformation in its OOH art.

The billboard, which takes center stage in London’s Old Street, has been created in collaboration with Stink Studios, Rapport’s Impact team and Global Street Art.
