    Spotify Lets Puppets Do The Talking As Couples Converse About Music

    By SHOOTUpdated:No Comments8061 Views

    To launch Premium Duo–a subscription plan for couples living at the same address, allowing them to enjoy their favorite content, together and separately–Spotify is releasing this TV spot that captures real-life couples waxing lyrical about their tastes in music. Who deserves the “music aficionado” title? How does a man really feel about his partner blasting Christmas music in July?

    But here’s the twist–puppets are doing the talking. Spotify partnered with Buenos Aires-based production company Tronco (which is represented and works in concert with 1stAveMachine in the U.S.) to bring these stories to the screen, transporting viewers to a land of cubed blue heads and pink mustaches, adding the right mix of zaniness and delight to the testimonials as only puppets can. Sebastian Schor + Becho & Mab directed the commercial which makes apparent the allure of Premium Duo whereby each user gets their own individual Premium account so they can both fully enjoy the benefits of Spotify Premium. This includes ad-free, on-demand listening and a catalog of more than 50 million tracks, as well as access to over 1 million podcast titles. Premium Duo users also get access to unique features just for the pair like Duo Mix, a regularly updated playlist.

    Spotify’s creative ensemble teamed with Tronco and 1stAveMachine on the campaign.

    Top Spot of the Week: AlmapBBDO, Director Lu Villaca Team On A Show Of Strength For Women and Johnnie Walker

    Thursday, December 19, 2024

    Johnnie Walker wraps up the year with an inspiring campaign that is a direct and bold response to those who would question the strength of women. Created by AlmapBBDO in São Paulo, Brazil, this anthem film--“Forte São Elas” (“Strong are the Women”) starring actress Alice Braga--references one of the most iconic productions in the brand’s history worldwide:”The Man Who Walked Around The World.” Produced by Surreal Hotel Arts, directed by Lu Villaça, and featuring an original soundtrack by Cabaret Studio, “Forte São Elas” shows Braga walking as she describes how strength plays an essential role in the daily life of every woman. Whether facing stereotypes or countless other barriers, women are the masters of their own choices and stay true to their journeys. “The campaign recognizes the emotional strength and resilience of every woman who faces and overcomes obstacles every day, and boldly challenges outdated stereotypes. And when they say that whisky is too strong for women, we will tell them: it’s the women who are strong,” said Andrea Rubim, head of marketing for Johnnie Walker.
