Cleveland agency Marcus Thomas’ new campaign includes this commercial titled “Headphones” directed by Mike Goubeaux of The PPS Group.
“Headphones” marks a departure from the norm for state lottery advertising, placing less emphasis on how big the prizes are, and more on how big they feel.
In the spot a mom serenely tosses the dinner salad as her four kids and her might-as-well-be-a-kid husband toss dinner all about. She is wearing headphones that block out the noise as a voiceover relates: “You won $200 from an Ohio Instant Lottery game and bought yourself life-canceling headphones. Ahhh… pasta with Beethoven.”
