If your clothes are wrinkled and messy, people are more likely to assume you’re up to no good.
Especially if you happen to be a couple of grandparents emerging from a tiny hallway closet.
In a continuation of their “Wrinkles send the wrong message” campaign, Procter & Gamble’s multi-agency shop Woven Collaborative (with teams from Grey) has taken another look at all the negative misconceptions a messy outfit can create.
Directed by Chris Balmond of Station Film, this 30-second spot, “Pop Pop,” for Downy WrinkleGuard showcases an unfortunate miscommunication between a grandson and his grandparents doing some work in the hallway closet. Their wrinkled clothes send a message no grandchild ever wants to see and offers the anti-wrinkle product, Downy WrinkleGuard, as a solution to all of our wrinkled-outfit-woes.

FactSet, a global financial digital platform and enterprise solutions provider, has partnered with Chicago-based creative agency VSA Partners to unveil a second round of spots in its “Not Just the Facts” campaign. The campaign originally launched back in April.
The campaign was built on a core strategic insight: While quality data is critical for financial professionals, facts in isolation provide little value. FactSet’s 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 spots—a combination of :30s, :15s, :06s and nine “shorts”—across multiple channels including digital, streaming and CTV.
This :30, “Dinos,” has an office worker’s relevant reference to dinosaurs spark our boorish colleague who proceeds to utter one irrelevant fact after another about the prehistoric creatures.
The Los Angeles–based 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
