The home of some of the industry's most daring and forward thinking creative talents had one of its most inspired years, largely thanks to the untiring experimenter Patrick Daughters, who directed mesmerizing clips for the Depatment of Eagles, Depeche Mode and Grizzly Bear. Former creative-turned director-turned-creative-turned director Mike Maguire also had an excellent run, directing a series of naught Cheetah Cheetos spots for former agency Goodby, as well as JWT/New York's highly viral Wilkinson-Sword Effort, "Mow the Lawn," which can also be found among the most watched videos ever on Creativity-online.com
