Retail mortgage lender Quicken Loans has entered into a promotional partnership with Paramount Pictures in advance of the July 22nd U.S. theatrical release of Star Trek Beyond. Rocket Mortgage by Quicken Loans, a fully online mortgage experience, is rolling out two new television spots, and a digital media sweepstakes offering fans the opportunity to win Star Trek-themed prizes, including tickets to the world premiere of Star Trek Beyond in San Diego.
The set of :30 and :60 commercials, created by Culver City, Calif.-based agency Pitch and directed by Dave Laden of Hungry Man, introduce a Vulcan couple (and their family pet) on their journey to purchase a more accommodating dwelling. In the “Doors” spot, we see how their current residence has become a bit cramped. The couple ultimately determines Rocket Mortgage is indeed the best and most logical way to help them secure financing for a new earthly home.
“This Rocket Mortgage campaign is clever, creative and sure to amuse and excite Star Trek fans just ahead of the release of the new film,” said LeeAnne Stables, president of worldwide marketing partnerships for Paramount Pictures.
Jay Farner, president and chief marketing officer for Quicken Loans, stated, “The decision to partner with Paramount Pictures was a logical one. Rocket Mortgage’s technology is light years ahead of its time – making it a perfect fit with the high-tech Star Trek universe. The mortgage process can be intimidating, even for the impassive Vulcan species, and the simplicity and transparency of Rocket Mortgage empowers clients to navigate the process experience with confidence.”
From Paramount Pictures and Skydance, Star Trek Beyond is a Bad Robot, Sneaky Shark, Perfect Storm Entertainment production. The film stars John Cho, Simon Pegg, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoë Saldana, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin and Idris Elba.

The Best Work You May Never See: McCann NY, Director Christian Breslauer Sound Grande For New York Lottery
McCann New York launched a campaign for the New York Lottery which includes this music video-style spot directed by Christian Breslauer of London Alley. The :30 features a signature song, “Sounds Grande,” as we see our featured music video protagonist get into the lotto spirit thanks to the new GRANDE Scratch-Off Games (up to $3 million in cash prizes, and a chance drawing for one of 100 VIP trips to Billboard Latin Music Week in Miami). The new lotto games were designed by McCann Design, inspired by the colorful storefronts of New York bodegas.
