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.

Golden Globe and BAFTA-award winning filmmaker Brady Corbet (The Brutalist) directed three new spots for the campaign via magna studios in his debut helming brand commercials. This spot titled “The Price of Tea in China” takes a well-known and seemingly simple idiom and unpacks its complexity as an international business story in a 30-second journey. (The other two commercials are “Bird in the Hand” and “Rising Tides.” The “Context” campaign continues to be developed in collaboration agency Wieden+Kennedy New York.
“‘Context Changes Everything’ has become an important rallying point with consumers to remind them what’s unique about Bloomberg as we continue to double down on global news coverage for them,” said Julia Beizer, COO, Bloomberg Media. “‘The Contextualist’ moves the brand forward by personifying the prevailing ideas of intellect, curiosity and ambition. We’ve gained more than 100,000 subscribers in the time since we first launched the campaign in September 2023, and it remains an important driving element of our investment to continue growing and engaging subscribers in the years to come.”
