How does it feel to have a 25-foot Titan at your beck and call? Pretty amazing. In fact, every aspect of life is better with a Titan. In support of the launch of gaming blockbuster Titanfall, EA and Respawn Entertainment–along with its agency Heat–set out to capture the ear-to-ear grinning invincibility you feel when you first climb into your very own Titan and start dominating the world. The “Shadow” spot brings to life the theme of the overall Titanfall campaign, “Life is Better with a Titan” as we see two guys, each shadowed by his own massive Titan, strolling through the city where they all inevitably meet.

The new concept builds on the campaign’s foundation of context--the power of Bloomberg’s journalism to draw deft connections between its wealth of news, insights and data in every corner of the world.
Golden Globe and BAFTA-award winning filmmaker Brady Corbet (The Brutalist) directed three new spots for the campaign via magna studios in his debut helming brand commercials. This spot titled “The Price of Tea in China” takes a well-known and seemingly simple idiom and unpacks its complexity as an international business story in a 30-second journey. (The other two commercials are “Bird in the Hand” and “Rising Tides.” The “Context” campaign continues to be developed in collaboration agency Wieden+Kennedy New York.
