Oreo, FCB Jakarta, and Director Kiran Koshy, have created a pair of playful spots to celebrate the 2020 Lunar New Year in South East Asia and the Oreo brand’s new offerings.
In the spot for Tết, the Vietnamese Lunar New Year, a granny and her granddaughter save the day, and the Tết family dinner, from the grip of hi-tech digital devices using a low-tech traditional percussive instrument, and Oreos. The two generations jam together and play a popular tune to bring their family closer, and get them off their devices.
It features the new Oreo gift box and the accompanying Oreo music sheet, which when scanned by a smartphone plays a set of popular Vietnamese tunes.
The second spot, for the Chinese Lunar New Year, launches the new Oreo Red Velvet variant of the beloved cookie. Perfect timing, considering how auspicious and relevant the color red is to Chinese New Year, and Chinese culture.
The spot starts with a kid itching to dig into a plate of Oreos before the family dinner. His dad, who’s decorating the house with red objects, as is the tradition, tells him he can do so only when everything in the house is red. The kid playfully engages in a cheeky kung-fu fantasy where he imagines he’s the one changing everything to red…objects that we can see are already red. His family indulges him as they play along with his fantasy. His dad, however, sees this and playfully switches the plate of regular Oreos with a plate of new red velvet ones, surprising the boy.
The campaign was produced by Directors Think Tank, who represent Kiran in South East Asia, along with SlashDynamic in the US, and Nomad/Never Ending Story in India.
Simian Gets An Evolutionary Boost For Collaboration, Reveals “Teams”
Simian, the showreel-building, review & approval, and production asset management platform used globally by creative leaders, is kicking off this fall season with a substantial leap forward for collaboration and project management – with more updates on the way during the holidays!
The new feature, aptly dubbed “Teams”, makes it easier than ever for users to give project responsibilities to team members and clients alike. “You can never have too many options when it comes to permission levels,” says Jay Brooks, Simian’s Chief Technology Officer. “Teams provides a streamlined way to assign multiple users to a project at once.”
“Teams are very powerful, but creating one is effortless,” Brian Atton, Simian’s Chief Operating Officer explains. “Simply enter a Team name, add members, and then apply the newly made Team to any desired project. You can even invite temporary guests without changing settings for other projects or needing to create a new Team.”
“We love helping our clients by providing efficient tools to improve their workflow, and this has been a frequently requested feature as of late,” shares Kellie Atton, Head of Sales at Simian. “It feels great to get Teams out into the wild because I know it’s going to be tremendously helpful to everyone who uses it”.
Teams is now available exclusively to Simian’s enterprise clients. Simian plans to release more product upgrades and enhancements during Q4 2024 and 2025 for enterprise and non-enterprise users, continuing its ongoing evolution as the industry’s leading production asset management solution.
