Barton F Graf has launched a global “3 Minute Friends Forever” campaign with Supercell to support Clash Royale’s 2v2 mode becoming permanent in the game. 2v2 mode allows two players to team up in real-time and face off against an opposing team in the arena. The campaign celebrates the magic of dynamic duos and brings to life the feelings of playing Clash Royale with a partner, shown through the lens of each player’s imagination.
The team at Barton F. Graf collaborated with Jon Watts, director of Spiderman Homecoming, and Titmouse, known for its animation in music videos (Zac Brown Band & Jay-Z) and TV work (Amazon Studios and Comedy Central) to create a mixture of live action and 2D animation of partners describing partnership, fully capturing the hyperbolic metaphors each player experiences while playing 2v2 as told by two players themselves.
Kicking off the multi-spot package is this piece titled “Sea of Chaos.”

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.
