Cartoon character Jimmy Neutron and his buddies have fun with a sci-fi gadget called a “Photon Dimensionalizer” (which is also the title of this spot). Jimmy zaps a cartoon squirrel and it comes alive as a dimensional being. Next to be zapped is a Town & Country van parked in a home’s driveway�transforming the vehicle from flat animation to the van in all its real-world splendor with Jimmy, his pals and the squirrel going inside for a tour of the luxurious interior.

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. Starting this week, FactSet will roll out 16 unique spots—a combination of :30s, :15s, :06s and nine “shorts”—across multiple channels including digital, streaming and CTV.
