The noggins of professional athletes Derek Jeter, Peyton Manning, Kevin Garnett, Dwyane Wade and Jennie Finch are attached to the bodies of a group of rambunctious kids at play. The result is a fun, lighthearted romp as the big-headed athletes with their little bodies and high-pitched voices are cute and endearing.

The tongue-in-cheek campaign, which plays more like a perfect-pitch comedy series than a typical B2B commercial effort, is a major departure from financial services industry norm--both in its use of humor and in its humanistic approach.

The Los Angeles–based Docter Twins (Matthew and Jason Docter) directed the original campaign and this new humorous work through their production company, Thinking Machine. The identical twin... Read More
