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.

Hellmann’s Super Bowl commercial “When Sally Met Hellmann’s” brings together Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan--35 years after the 1980s’ hit rom-com When Harry Met Sally, evoking timeless flavor and nostalgia with the iconic line: “I’ll have what she’s having.” Reprising their beloved roles of Harry and Sally, the duo hilariously recreates the film’s unforgettable scene in Katz’s Delicatessen, with a deliciously creamy twist, thanks to Hellmann’s mayonnaise.
The :30 commercial finds Sally sitting across from Harry, wearing his classic cable knit fisherman’s sweater, celebrating their anniversary over a traditional deli lunch. Sally is displeased with her turkey sandwich until she adds a generous squeeze of rich and creamy Hellmann’s mayonnaise that adds mind-blowing flavor so palpable that the rest of the patrons can’t help but notice. So much so, award-nominated actress and producer, Sydney Sweeney, takes notice, delivering the famous line, “I’ll Have What She’s Having.”
This is a :60 version of the spot which was created by agency VML and directed by Jake Szymanski. (The :30 is slated to run during the second quarter of the Super Bowl.)
