Animated commercial set to the theme song of the Pink Panther. A police man is walking around noticing various items painted pink in an otherwise black and white setting. The pink panther walks out from behind a tree with a paint brush. He touches a fountain, and a fish tank and the water turns pink. He motions to touch a fire hydrant, but loses steam until he sees a table with pink packets on it. He approaches and pours the contents of one packet into his mouth. Completely refreshed he paints a mural of Sweet’N Low “Think Pink” on the side of a building.

Prudential, McCann NY, Director Chris Smith Launch “Beta Baby Bonus”
To mark Prudentialโs 150thโฏanniversary, McCann New York is kicking off the new year welcoming Generation Beta with โThe Beta BabyโฏBonus,โ offering every babyโฏborn in the U.S. on January 1st $150, which could potentially grow to $100,000 when they retire. The work is also launching with a new study, in partnership with McCannโs Truth Central, called โGeneration Beta: Redefining Life, Longevity, and Retirementโ.
The study found that people predict this new generationโฏwill have vastly different lives than today, with 86% of people believing Generation Beta will have jobs that havenโt even been invented yet. Generation Beta is also predicted to live longer than those before them, and the study reveals optimism about a healthcare revolution that will transform their lives--with half of adults believing that cancer will be cured by Generation Beta. Crucially, when it comes to retirement, people see the value of starting early. Eighty percent of prospective Generation Beta parents agree that in an ideal world, parents would start saving for their childโs retirement from birth. In fact, the No. 1 regret among current and prospective parents is that they โdidnโt save more for my retirement.โ
The campaign launchesโฏwith this โGenerationsโ film--directed by Chris Smith via production house SMUGGLER--which interviews Boomers, Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z on what defines their generation. With every generation known for something, Generation Beta has many unique advantages as it begins to take shape.
Shayne Millington, chief creative officer, McCann New York, said, โItโs not every day a new generation is born. So we needed to made the most of a once-in-a-generation event. Weโre beyond proud to be able to launch... Read More
