A group of men playing baseball in the park are disappointed when their game is interrupted by rain until they realize that “beer is falling from the sky!” All the excited men in town are running around, celebrating in the streets. One man runs into a bar and tells everyone to come outside because it is raining beer, but these people look at him distainfully because, as the narrator explains “maybe your light beer should taste more like beer.” The Miller emblem appears over a bottle of Miller lite.

The Docter Twins Direct Part 2 Of FactSets’ “Not Just The Facts” Comedy Campaign From VSA Partners

The tongue-in-cheek campaign, which plays more like a perfect-pitch comedy series than a typical B2B commercial effort, is a major departure from financial services industry norm--both in its use of humor and in its humanistic approach.

The Los Angeles–based Docter Twins (Matthew and Jason Docter) directed the original campaign and this new humorous work through their production company, Thinking Machine. The identical twin... Read More
