Peter Sluszka of Hornet Inc. directed this stop-motion spot depicting a village full of character–and characters–as we see it progress from morning to night on a typical day. In the village we see prim and proper sheep who end up well coiffed, rabble-rousing kids, a friendly butcher, a postman making the rounds, a fish market vendor and customers, and then the local branch of Permanent TSB Bank. Agency was Publicis Dublin.

(The other two commercials are “Bird in the Hand” and “Rising Tides.” The “Context” campaign continues to be developed in collaboration agency Wieden+Kennedy New York.
