Earlier this year, SNICKERS launched its Super Bowl 50 commercial which goes back to 1955 and features a hungry Marilyn Monroe on the set of the classic film The Seven Year Itch.
Now, in honor of what would have been Monroe’s 90th birthday, SNICKERS is launching an online video of an OOH interactive experience. The experience is an installation that displays a continuously animated image of Marilyn Monroe’s skirt blowing in the breeze, an iconic scene from the classic film. When a digital sensor detects someone staring, Marilyn turns into her hungry alter-ego, Willem Dafoe, who has some “hungry” words for the passerby.
The limited-time live installation took place in April in New York City.

Ford, W+K London, WracK Team On “Charge Around The Globe” Docuseries
This trailer promotes Charge Around The Globe, a new adventure docuseries that follows record-breaking traveler Lexie Limitless on an extraordinary journey to circumnavigate the globe in an electric vehicle--traveling over 30,000 kilometers across six continents, all in pursuit of one world record. The three-part series on Prime Video in the U.K. showcases the capabilities of modern electric vehicles while immersing viewers in the numerous experiences and challenges Lexie encounters throughout her journey. As she navigates various challenges throughout her trip, Charge Around the Globe serves as a testament to the spirit of exploration. Ford, Wieden+Kennedy London and WracK teamed on the series.
The documentary aims to address the primary concern hindering many consumers from transitioning to electric: doubts about the range and capability of electric vehicles. As a 120-year-old brand, Ford looked to its past as inspiration for the switch that’s taking place today.
