Fred Armisen, of Saturday Night Live and Portlandia fame, directed and stars in this spot in which he portrays an artisan/exec of some sort working remotely from home, talking to his office team–only to have his wife and kids interrupting constantly by blending smoothies at a high decibel level. The noise follows him from one room of their house to the next–at least he’s able to roam about freely, always connected thanks to Google’s Nest Workspace Expander.
This piece is one of 30 in an ambitious client-direct campaign turned out by Armisen via RadicalMedia which represents him as a director of commercials and branded content.
Produced during the pandemic, the campaign promotes various Google products in terms of how they’re used by people–all portrayed by Armisen. The Google smart-home devices are brought to the marketplace in this campaign with a playful sense of humor.
