The LPS Edit

Inspiration

The culture we study — the campaigns that shape how we think, and the standard we build to.

We watch the whole industry — so our clients don’t have to.

Everything below is the work of other studios, agencies and brands — credited to its creators and shared for commentary and inspiration. We make our own work with clients; this is the culture we watch, and the thinking behind it.

01The edit
Chiat\Day · dir. Ridley Scott
Apple · 1984

1984

A product launch staged as cinema. One broadcast, never repeated — and a computer became a myth. Proof a single perfect film can outlast a decade of advertising.

Dir. Spike Jonze · with Margaret Qualley
Kenzo · 2016

Kenzo World

A fragrance film that tears up the fragrance-film rulebook — chaos, dance and joy instead of gloss. The reference for treating fashion film as auteur cinema.

Jacquemus · CGI Ian Padgham
Jacquemus · 2023

Le Bambino

Giant handbags cruising Paris as cars. A “fake” more magnetic than reality — surreal, unmistakably ownable, engineered to be shared a hundred million times.

Dir. Baz Luhrmann · with Gisele Bündchen
Chanel · 2014

N°5 — The One That I Want

Feature-director craft, movie-star casting, a love story in ninety seconds. Luxury told as narrative cinema — not a mood board.

Wieden+Kennedy · with Colin Kaepernick
Nike · 2018

Dream Crazy

A brand risking everything on a belief. Conviction — not budget — is the most powerful creative asset a house can own.

Fallon
Cadbury · 2007

Gorilla

Ninety seconds, no product, a gorilla and a drum solo. Pure feeling. A masterclass in selling joy instead of features.

Forsman & Bodenfors · with Jean-Claude Van Damme
Volvo Trucks · 2013

The Epic Split

A dry engineering spec turned into a held-breath spectacle. One perfect stunt, flawlessly crafted — still quoted a decade later.

INGO · DAVID · Publicis
Burger King · 2020

Moldy Whopper

Showing the product rotting to prove it has no preservatives. The boldest possible image in service of one clear truth. Courage as strategy.

AMV BBDO
Guinness · 1999

Surfer

Patience made beautiful — thunderous black-and-white cinema built on a single idea. Restraint turned into spectacle.

02How we read a campaign
/ The idea
One clear
thought.

Could a stranger repeat it in a sentence? If not, it isn’t an idea yet.

/ The craft
Would it stand
as film?

Strip the logo — does it still hold you? Craft is what survives the edit.

/ The culture
Does it
move people?

Not just metrics — meaning. The work that lasts changes how people feel.

Our lens
We study the best in the world — then make something only we can.

Let’s make the
next reference.
