Plant milk was once the butt of jokes. Relegated to the crunchy, granola part of society. But things are changing, and fast.
When you finally realize how incredible plant milk is in pretty much anything, that’s called a "Calilujah" moment. And it’s brought to you by Califia Farms in campaign films directed by Harold Einstein of production house Dummy for Goodby Silverstein & Partners.
In the campaign, unsuspecting people try Califia Farms plant milk for the first time–and their reactions are overwhelmingly positive. They are experiencing their “Calilujah” moment.
This particular film shows a couple stretching–literally–their morning coffee routine with the great taste of Califia.
“It’s exciting to try new things and we wanted to bring that feeling to life in these spots,” said Hanna Wittmark, creative director, Goodby Silverstein & Partners.

For the global EX30 Cross Country launch, Volvo and creative agency Forsman & Bodenfors wants to de-dramatize the outdoor experience--and remind people that small trips into nature can be grand experiences.
Cross Country is Volvo’s concept of turning their regular cars into more outdoor-capable versions, with higher ground clearance, all-wheel drive and other features making it more capable and off-road ready. And now, the compact, fully electric EX30 becomes available as a Cross Country version. It’s a small car designed for big experiences, made to elevate both urban living and outdoor adventure, and to bring people closer to nature.
“With Volvo being such a human-centric brand, it felt natural to focus on the human side of nature. The child’s perspective became the perfect metaphor for this, to spend time in nature on nature’s terms,” said Karl Risenfors, creative at Forsman & Bodenfors.
In a category that often portrays epic journeys deep into the wilderness, the campaign serves as a reminder that even everyday adventures can be memorable experiences. Thus this launch spot--directed by Marcus Ibanez via production company New-Land--shows nature through the point of view of a child. A child’s imagination and perspective generates a visual metaphor for the magic that nature can bring, no matter the scale of the adventure.
