Hey, you\u2019ve got freaks in silver spacesuits riding around on your back, peeking at every keystroke you make on that iPhone. You good with that? Of course not.<\/p>\n

Personified data trackers pop up everywhere IRL as Apple touts the privacy tools of its Safari OS in a campaign titled \u201cClingers.\u201d<\/p>\n

This brand isn\u2019t known for broad humor. So it\u2019s nice to see TBWAMedia Arts Lab and Smuggler director Ivan Zacharias letting their hair down for some silliness to bolster a serious message. That vibe will likely boost the work\u2019s memorability.<\/p>\n

Of course, the basic concept\u2019s nothing new. These creepy anti-vaping ads from 2019 rocked similarly clingy themes.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s take feels more measured and finely tuned. The bit in the museum, with the human cast mirroring nearby artworks, is especially notable.<\/p>\n

As for the notion of blowing the trackers to sparkly smithereens, who wouldn\u2019t be down with that?<\/p>\n
