Directed by production house MJZ’s Craig Gillespie (known for film work including I, Tonya and Lars & The Real Girl, and commercials for brands including Nike, Apple, Call of Duty, Snickers), this campaign for Vistaprint created by Austin, Texas-based agency CALLEN centers on different small business owners who each experience what could be a disastrous moment for their companies. Each business owner, though, tackles the challenge with ease, with the help of Vistaprint.
In this spot, “Ready for Anything,” a yoga instructor sees a meteor make a flaming impression on her studio. Not to worry. She’s nimble enough to take marketing advantage–and so is Vistaprint with everything she needs in terms of fashioning a new brand identity.
Vistaprint’s marketing campaign is running in the U.S., U.K. and France on YouTube.
