The classic story of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” is getting an update, thanks to commercial director Vance Malone and the Ohio Lottery. Cincinatti-based production house Lightborne joined forces with Wild Plum out of Venice, CA for the director’s latest project, “Just Right.” The team at Northlich, including Executive Creative Director Jason Schmall, Group Creative Director Dan Rapp, Associate Creative Director/Art Director Brian Nelson, Senior Copywriter Terry Dillon, and Director of Broadcast Production Diane Frederick collaborated with Malone to face the challenge of making their version of this fairy tale distinct in its originality, yet still recognizable as the classic story. With an exciting playing field at their disposal, the group hit the ground running.
