The plant-based category is full of lofty promises about saving the world, with brands competing against each other as to who’s the most serious. In its first ever brand campaign–from Gothenburg, Sweden-based agency Forsman & Bodenfors–Swedish alt-meat brand Peas Of Heaven is departing from that norm.
“From the start, Peas Of Heaven’s mission has been to make plant-based versions of all your favorite foods. And by doing so, contribute to a better and more sustainable future. But every food tech start-up promises to make the world better. And it’s pretty fun that the tools we use to create a better world are actually sausages, burgers and meatballs. That’s why we decided to poke fun at the category–and ourselves–and make something totally different, something that also could inspire all the meat-eaters out there to try plant-based food”, said Gustav Johansson, creative director at Peas Of Heaven.
In this spot directed by Vedran Rupic of Business Club Royale, burgers, meatballs, and sausages are actually growing on fields, just like the green pea – one of the main sources of protein in Peas of Heaven’s products. We see a man in a prone position being propelled across a field where he luxuriates in a bumper crop.
“We wanted to get the creative and innovative spirit of the company across in a category breaking, playful, fun and, yes, a slightly bizarre way that will make you stop what you’re doing and actually watch the commercial,” said Karl Risenfors, creative at Forsman & Bodenfors
Peas Of Heaven is currently the market leader in its home market, Sweden, and is growing fast in Denmark, Finland, and Norway. In 2022, Peas of Heaven will expand to a handful of other European markets with a U.S. launch coming up soon.

The Best Work You May Never See: McCann NY, Director Christian Breslauer Sound Grande For New York Lottery
McCann New York launched a campaign for the New York Lottery which includes this music video-style spot directed by Christian Breslauer of London Alley. The :30 features a signature song, “Sounds Grande,” as we see our featured music video protagonist get into the lotto spirit thanks to the new GRANDE Scratch-Off Games (up to $3 million in cash prizes, and a chance drawing for one of 100 VIP trips to Billboard Latin Music Week in Miami). The new lotto games were designed by McCann Design, inspired by the colorful storefronts of New York bodegas.
