Like their ancestors on the British Isle of Jersey, every cow at Promised Land Dairy has a name. So begin the spots in the new campaign for Promised Land, edited by Lucky Post’s Logan Hefflefinger and directed by Greg Bell for agency Publicis. Blending writerly witticisms delivered in a droll British accent and charming, playful footage of Francine, Agatha, Roxy, Gladys, and Mildred, each commercial introduces viewers to the cows of Promised Land Dairy. Cows that – like us – are predisposed to can be “diva-ish,” gossip, love exercise, have dietary restrictions, and enjoy rocking out. All of these personalities are appreciated as these extraordinary cows also produce extraordinary milk.

Executive Creative Director, Gerald Lewis of John McNeil Studio explains “We needed to create a powerful, distinctive voice for the brand. But, it couldn’t compete with the voice of the artists because in the end, the art has to speak. It had to be simple, honest and genuine, in line with the mission of Creative Growth. Artists will spend 30 years making work, honing their craft and following their voice inside this space. We wanted to celebrate that. So, while the mark, the brand, is simple and honest, it’s also expansive and energetic.” Kicking off the new brand campaign is a short film capturing the voice of artist William Scott as he walks through downtown Oakland and enters...
