Tide, the official laundry detergent of the NFL, returns to the Super Bowl with creative from Saatchi & Saatchi New York–this time with the help of comedian and actor, Jason Alexander.
An animated Alexander appears front and center on a teenager’s hoodie. The character’s reactions to what he encounters gives us an idea of what our clothes go through on a daily basis, subjected to dirt, bad odors and whatever else a person puts his or her apparel through. The Big Game message challenges people to think about all the situations they subject their clothes to on a daily basis.
The bottom line–for everything our clothes go through, they deserve new Tide Hygienic Clean, developed to remove both visible and invisible dirt.
This marks Tide’s third straight year advertising on the Super Bowl. The brand’s latest spot was directed by Jeff Low of Biscuit Filmworks. The Mill served as the VFX house.

Director Gia Coppola Teams With Mejuri For “A New York Minute”; 1st Episode Takes Us To The Grocery Store
Mejuri, known for turning fine jewelry into an everyday luxury, has partnered with director Gia Coppola (The Last Show Girl, Palo Alto) and The Directors Bureau in Los Angeles, for the first time reimagining the brand’s story as episodic content. In a series of microfilms, co-created by Coppola and premiering following New York Fashion Week, Mejuri eschewed a typical celebrity campaign and cast us as voyeurs to a group of aspiring young women--real people, not actors--at the crossroads of their adult lives against the backdrop of New York City.
Titled “A New York Minute,” the series features five real-life friends, who include one perfectly imperfect heroine named Emma. The women celebrate ordinary moments and interactions which reveal, sometimes retrospectively, the extraordinary within the mundane. Adjacent to the brand’s own community, the 30-something year old cast includes Laura Love (Emma), Rebecca Ressler, Natalie Vall-Freed and Rozzi Crane. Mejuri’s jewelry makes an appearance as the best supporting actor.
“When I met with Gia and The Directors Bureau team, there was instant creative and personal chemistry and a natural alignment on the desire to push and blur the lines between marketing, storytelling, and the construct of what a ‘campaign’ could be,” said Jacob Jordan, chief brand officer, Mejuri. “Gia was able to push that idea into something that truly feels new and artful, with a realism and relatability that almost feels jarring. Gia was such a perfect collaborator and partner, someone I had complete trust in to be a catalyst for Mejuri’s values of celebrating women as their truest selves. I can’t wait for us to continue to tell the next chapters of this story.”
