A man applies lipstick, blush, eye shadow and the like to his face, struggles into a pair of tights, then a frilly skirt, dons a wig of golden locks, a pair of angel wings and voile, we have a fairy dadmother ready to perform at a party–much to the delight of his young daughter who laughs joyously to see her pop looking more like her mom. Dads will indeed do anything for their daughters, including looking to the future and making financial plans for their children’s college education at Chase.
“Fairy Dadmother” is one of four films in Chase’s “Mastery 2.0” campaign from Droga5 New York. The films have all debuted online, with “Fairy Dadmother” airing on national TV. Reynald Gresset of production house Reset directed “Fairy Dadmother.”

For the global EX30 Cross Country launch, Volvo and creative agency Forsman & Bodenfors wants to de-dramatize the outdoor experience--and remind people that small trips into nature can be grand experiences.
Cross Country is Volvo’s concept of turning their regular cars into more outdoor-capable versions, with higher ground clearance, all-wheel drive and other features making it more capable and off-road ready. And now, the compact, fully electric EX30 becomes available as a Cross Country version. It’s a small car designed for big experiences, made to elevate both urban living and outdoor adventure, and to bring people closer to nature.
“With Volvo being such a human-centric brand, it felt natural to focus on the human side of nature. The child’s perspective became the perfect metaphor for this, to spend time in nature on nature’s terms,” said Karl Risenfors, creative at Forsman & Bodenfors.
In a category that often portrays epic journeys deep into the wilderness, the campaign serves as a reminder that even everyday adventures can be memorable experiences. Thus this launch spot--directed by Marcus Ibanez via production company New-Land--shows nature through the point of view of a child. A child’s imagination and perspective generates a visual metaphor for the magic that nature can bring, no matter the scale of the adventure.
