An army Sergeant calls his soldiers back to line up after they have eaten lunch. Mid-order the Sergeant realizes that one of the soldiers has a ketchup stain on his shirt and lectures the soldiers on respect for “me, your country, and your momma.” As the Sergeant continues on his tangent, soldiers pass a Tide to Go detergent pen behind their backs to the offending soldier. By the time the leader asks the soldier for comment the stain is gone and the soldier replies, “Sir. What stain, Sir?”

The tongue-in-cheek campaign, which plays more like a perfect-pitch comedy series than a typical B2B commercial effort, is a major departure from financial services industry norm--both in its use of humor and in its humanistic approach. Starting this week, FactSet will roll out 16 unique spotsโa combination of :30s, :15s, :06s and nine โshortsโโacross multiple channels including digital, streaming and CTV.

The Los Angelesโbased Docter Twins (Matthew and Jason Docter) directed the original campaign and this new humorous work through their production company, Thinking Machine. The identical twin... Read More
