“Cliff Dive” is one in a series of :15s in Travelocity’s “Travel Wishes” campaign. In the spot, we see a bird perched on a branch jutting out from a cliff. A continuous scream is heard�presumably from someone diving from the top of the cliff. Turns out that someone is Travelocity’s Roaming Gnome, who’s plummeting�pointed hat and head first�into the deep blue below. A super appears that reads, “Travel Wish #11. Cliff Dive in Mexico.” A voiceover informs us that Fare Watchers Plus alerts customers when fares drop to their favorite places. We’re advised to start our wish list at travelocity.com.

Chipotle, Venables Bell & Partners, Hornet Debut Animated Short “Unfolded” In The Metaverse
Chipotle Mexican Grill has rolled out this animated short film, “Unfolded,” which showcases sustainable agriculture comparable to Chipotle’s Food With Integrity principles.

Chipotle is billed as the first restaurant brand to unveil a national TV ad in the metaverse. Free entrees were given to the first 50,000 Chipotle Rewards members who viewed the ad on Roblox

These donations are funded from Chipotle’s initiative to contribute 5% of profits from its sales of Tractor Beverages to support farmers.
Inspired by the company’s purpose to Cultivate a Better World, “Unfolded” brings viewers through an animated world, diving into a Chipotle bag that unfolds into a paper world. The short film depicts industrial farms transformed into vibrant, polyculture farms with diverse and organic crops, symbolizing Chipotle’s efforts to support farmers who prioritize sustainable agricultural practices.
