A teenage girl is standing in the bathroom talking on the phone. She says “My parents think I am sleeping at your house. I’m just jumping in the shower.” She gets in the shower and begins to wash. Looking down she sees blood mixed with the water. She turns to see where it is coming from and sees herself beaten and bleeding sitting curled up on the floor of the shower saying “Don’t do it.” The screen goes black and then says “Meth. Not even once.”

The campaign was built on a core strategic insight: While quality data is critical for financial professionals, facts in isolation provide little value. FactSetโs personalization, data connectivity, open and flexible technology, and dedicated service and support provide the context necessary for the investment community to turn facts into valuable insights--and make the most of them.
The new creative picks up where the previous left off. This time it focuses on a particularly boorish office worker, drolly played by character actor Wyndham Maxwell, who ticks off an encyclopedic list of facts and non sequiturs during business meetings and to the bemusement of his colleagues.
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 spotsโa combination of :30s, :15s, :06s and nine โshortsโโacross multiple channels including digital, streaming and CTV.
This :30, โDinos,โ has an office workerโs relevant reference to dinosaurs spark our boorish colleague who proceeds to utter one irrelevant fact after another about the prehistoric creatures.
The Los Angelesโbased 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
