The Lab at Anonymous Content has created Unlock Life, the new brand platform for Lime, the electric scooter transportation company. The campaign–which sprung from a partnership between Lime and The Lab–includes short films such as this one, Carlos, which profiles an inner city lad whose life has been changed by the mobility he gains from Lime rental scooters. He can access all of L.A., connecting him with people from different walks of life as well as the realization that all of us, no matter our differences, have much in common.
Cara Stricker of Anonymous Content directed Carlos.
Formed last November, The Lab at Anonymous Content is a creative incubator inside the production and management company that’s built to push the boundaries of how brands tell stories by tapping into Anonymous Content’s diverse talent roster.
In addition to the Unlock Life platform and strategy, The Lab is working with Lime to build a digital media house for the brand, Movement, which will deliver compelling content, film, imagery and narratives through Lime’s new website. The full platform and website is slated to launch in mid-June.

FactSet, a global financial digital platform and enterprise solutions provider, has partnered with Chicago-based creative agency VSA Partners to unveil a second round of spots in its “Not Just the Facts” campaign. The campaign originally launched back in April.
The campaign was built on a core strategic insight: While quality data is critical for financial professionals, facts in isolation provide little value. FactSet’s personalization, data connectivity, open and flexible technology, and dedicated service and support provide the context necessary for the investment community to turn facts into valuable insights--and make the most of them.
The new creative picks up where the previous left off. This time it focuses on a particularly boorish office worker, drolly played by character actor Wyndham Maxwell, who ticks off an encyclopedic list of facts and non sequiturs during business meetings and to the bemusement of his colleagues.
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. Starting this week, FactSet will roll out 16 unique spots—a combination of :30s, :15s, :06s and nine “shorts”—across multiple channels including digital, streaming and CTV.
This :30, “Dinos,” has an office worker’s relevant reference to dinosaurs spark our boorish colleague who proceeds to utter one irrelevant fact after another about the prehistoric creatures.
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
