Yesterday’s Oscar ceremony was punctuated by a series of commercials (or adverts, as we call them back home) by Autodesk.

The whole thing was really nicely executed: Ryan Reynolds’ creative agency, Maximum Effort, were behind it, and our new Chief Marketing Officer, Dara Treseder, clearly played a role. I’m sure there were many others, too.
