Eleven Founder/Mixer Jeff Payne brings childhood imaginations to life in Target’s new spots, “Dino Clash” and “Giant Steps,” themed in alignment with the recent release of “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.”
The spots, created by Deutsch LA, dircted by Reza Rasoli and mixed by audio post-production studio Eleven, reference childhood games to advertise Target's line of Jurassic World-themed dinosaur figurines.
The campaign pays homage to the vastness of children’s imaginations, beginning with shadows of roaring dinosaurs that turn out to be toys and figurines.
