This three-minute animated short for cinema and online introduces us to Geoff, the head of innovation for Heinz Beanz. Geoff grew up loving beans and as a professional he came up with ways for beans to be enjoyed by everyone–creating a new can size for every life stage. A can for one, another for two (inspired by a girl who ultimately becomes Geoff’s wife), beans for all (when he starts a family, with two kids), and then a little snack sized can (for his grown, teenage kids).
Titled “Geoff,” the film is the centerpiece of a heartwarming campaign in which Kraft Heinz Australia removes traditional Heinz Beanz branding to create charming new labels for different sized cans perfect for every Aussie depending on his or her life circumstance.
Y&R New Zealand created the campaign. Production studio was Assembly Ltd, with Damon Duncan serving as director.

The Best Work You May Never See: McCann NY, Director Christian Breslauer Sound Grande For New York Lottery
McCann New York launched a campaign for the New York Lottery which includes this music video-style spot directed by Christian Breslauer of London Alley. The :30 features a signature song, “Sounds Grande,” as we see our featured music video protagonist get into the lotto spirit thanks to the new GRANDE Scratch-Off Games (up to $3 million in cash prizes, and a chance drawing for one of 100 VIP trips to Billboard Latin Music Week in Miami). The new lotto games were designed by McCann Design, inspired by the colorful storefronts of New York bodegas.
