In celebration of Armed Forces Day this past Saturday (5/20), Johnnie Walker released the next installment of its Keep Walking America campaign with a new spot titled “Homecoming.”
The piece highlights the homecoming of a U.S. veteran as he is welcomed home by friends and family. Keep Walking America’s anthem, “This Land Is Your Land,” is softly spoken in the background.
To further honor the courageous men and women who fight for our country, Johnnie Walker is calling on all U.S citizens to join in on a “virtual walk.” To participate, people can share a photo or message on social media through Memorial Day, May 29, about their walk using #KeepWalkingAmerica and tagging @JohnnieWalkerUS. For each participating post using the designated hashtag, Johnnie Walker will donate $10 making a charitable donation up to $30,000 to support Hire Heroes, a non-profit organization with a mission to provide career coaching to transitioning U.S military members, veterans and military spouses.

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