Truly Hard Seltzer is rolling out its “No One is Just One Flavor” campaign with global pop star Dua Lipa. Created by Goodby Silverstein & Partners, the campaign celebrates the unique flavors of Truly and the unique sides to each one of us,
Directed by David LaChapelle via production house Superprime, this commercial starring Dua Lipa is set to debut on Saturday Night Live on May 22. Set to her platinum hit “Physical,” the spot shows Dua Lipa as more than a pop star. She’s bilingual, a dog mom, and a yoga enthusiast, for example.
“In this rather polarized day and age, Truly has opted to openly celebrate the many sides of all of us. It’s a big, open-armed gesture of acceptance that is really needed right now,” said Jeff Goodby, co-chairman and partner of Goodby Silverstein & Partners.
The brand’s partnership with Dua Lipa stretches far beyond her appearance in the TV spot. She’ll be featured in social, digital, and out-of-home, as well as point-of-sale, where Truly drinkers will have a chance to win more than $1 million in concert prizes, including VIP experiences to meet the pop star and attend a performance this fall. The campaign will also include “Truly Inspired,” a 2021 summer content and livestream concert series produced by Live Nation featuring artists hand-picked by Dua Lipa.

How do you top one of the most viral brand videos ever made? Spoiler alert: you canโt. But when Dollar Shave Club tapped Zack Seckler to direct a new campaign to revive the absurdist humor of its iconic launch video, he knew he had a rare opportunity to create something special.
The brief was simple: introduce the concept of a physical โClubโ that people would love to join while showcasing Dollar Shave Clubโs products and embracing the weird. From script to direction and post, Seckler--an alum of SHOOTโs 2021 New Directors Showcase--was invited to help sculpt that vision.
The result is this โWelcome to the Clubโ spot which invites us to join a unique, seemingly exclusive but in reality an accessible and affordable fraternity of Dollar Shave Club members. But you need to know the password or more accurately, the two-word phrase--"shave money."
โThe Clubโ campaign brings the brand back to its humorous roots, reflecting a new chapter after being acquired by Nexus Capital Management from Unilever in late 2023. The work takes Dollar Shave Club back to its disruptive beginnings and what made the brand a viral sensation from its inception in 2011.
