    By SHOOTUpdated:No Comments5459 Views

    Goodby Silverstein & Partners (GS&P) turned out a global campaign for BMW’s brand-new model, The 2 Series Gran Coupe. A prime component of the campaign is this :60 titled “Option 2” directed by Terence Neale of Park Pictures. The :60 champions those who live on their own terms, rejecting the conventional path i life. 

    Cast members were chosen for their boundary-pushing lifestyle: from artist trio Dear Ribane to electronic musician Merry Lamb Lamb. Even the music is unconventional; featuring a GQOM track by South African producer DJ Lag, created specifically for the piece.

    This is the first global BMW campaign by GS&P. Led by award-winning creative directors, Matt Edwards and Wes Phelan, who joined Goodby Silverstein in 2019 and also just launched Adobe’s “Creativity for all” campaign that ran on last night’s Academy Awards. Prior to GS&P, the pair numerous Cannes Lions for Adidas Originals, including the Grand Prix for “My Way.”

    According to Phelan, “Option 2 is a mindset that speaks to an audience striving to live life on their own terms.”

    Edwards added, “Culture has changed – you no longer need to wear a suit or work a 9-to-5 to own a BMW. Our film reflects that.”

    The Best Work You May Never See: Steve Rogers Directs Christmas Spot For Telstra Starring A Singing Donkey

    Tuesday, November 12, 2024

    Directed by Steve Rogers via production house Revolver, this 90-second Christmas film for Aussie telecommunications company Telstra--created by agency Bear Meets Eagle On Fire in tandem with +61--tells the story of an accidental singing superstar, Little Donkey, who goes on a whirlwind tour across the world. But eventually stardom isn't all it's cracked up to be as Little Donkey misses its family at holiday time.

    “We wanted to tell a Christmas story without falling into the holiday cliches. Hopefully the heart of this rings true and people get a bit of giggle along the way,” said Micah Walker, chief creative officer at Bear Meets Eagle On Fire.

    Blake Crosbie, managing director of +61, said, “It’s a charming story that is so true of Christmas and so naturally adds to our brand idea ‘Wherever We Go’.”
