Just in time for summer, Truly Hard Seltzer is rolling out its brand campaign, “Live Truly,” with national media across TV, digital and social after pausing the launch earlier this year due to COVID-19. The campaign will deliver color, life and energy to screens across the U.S and invite drinkers to be their original and flavorful selves.
The four spots, including this one titled “Entrances,” showcase the energetic, uplifting and fun feelings that come with cracking open a can of Truly. Directed by Malia James of production house Strike Anywhere, the spots were created in partnership with Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, and act as rallying cries to never let anyone or anything change you from being yourself.
“The seltzer category is full of people hoping to be someone they aren’t,” said Jeff Goodby, co-chairman of Goodby Silverstein & Partners. “Truly is celebrating those moments where you just take a deep breath and truly be yourself.”

Hellmann’s Super Bowl commercial “When Sally Met Hellmann’s” brings together Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan--35 years after the 1980s’ hit rom-com When Harry Met Sally, evoking timeless flavor and nostalgia with the iconic line: “I’ll have what she’s having.” Reprising their beloved roles of Harry and Sally, the duo hilariously recreates the film’s unforgettable scene in Katz’s Delicatessen, with a deliciously creamy twist, thanks to Hellmann’s mayonnaise.
The :30 commercial finds Sally sitting across from Harry, wearing his classic cable knit fisherman’s sweater, celebrating their anniversary over a traditional deli lunch. Sally is displeased with her turkey sandwich until she adds a generous squeeze of rich and creamy Hellmann’s mayonnaise that adds mind-blowing flavor so palpable that the rest of the patrons can’t help but notice. So much so, award-nominated actress and producer, Sydney Sweeney, takes notice, delivering the famous line, “I’ll Have What She’s Having.”
This is a :60 version of the spot which was created by agency VML and directed by Jake Szymanski. (The :30 is slated to run during the second quarter of the Super Bowl.)
