NEW YORKThe latest work from Saatchi & Saatchi in New York for Procter & Gamble's Olay features playful images of thirtysomething women showing off their smooth skin. A café is the setting for one spot, in which a man smiles each time his date's spa ghetti strap falls off her shoulder—thanks to Olay Body Wash, which leaves "no film, no residue." The campaign, which also includes print ads, replaces the previous "Proven effective" tagline with, "Love the skin you're in."

The client, based in New York, has worked with directors such as Mike Nichols, Jonathan Demme and John Sayles, among others.
