A bit too humble to toot its own horn, Pizza Hut instead enlists “Bragspeople” in this campaign conceived by Droga5 New York. In this particular spot, an alien being from another planet finds comfort in Pizza Hut offerings, especially its new grilled cheese stuffed crust pizza.
Adam & Dave of Arts & Sciences directed the spot with tabletop being helmed by Trevor Shepard of Woodshop.
