AT&T is sharing a little love as we close out a trying 2020 and look forward to the New Year with hope.
The new creative features people from all walks of life coming together singing the 1969 hit “Put a Little Love in Your Heart,” including a few notable vocal cameos from AT&T’s well-loved Lily character, and none-other than LeBron James.
The heartfelt track serves as a much-needed anthem for unity and compassion as we all continue to be socially distant.
Titled “A Little Love,” the spot was created with creative agency partner BBDO LA and directed by The Corner Shop’s Peter Thwaites.

This holiday season, YETI, in partnership with Wieden+Kennedy (W+K) Portland, has launched a film to highlight the unintended consequences of gifting a YETI product to someone you love. “Don’t Get Them a YETI,” is a punchy cautionary tale with a wink, warning those considering gifting a YETI not to, because a world of adventurous highs and lows awaits and it might just be more than they bargained for.
Directed by Daniel Wolfe and Jess Kohl of Love Song, with VO by Oscar- and Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and Yellowstone actor Ryan Bingham, the hero film opens with a YETI Tundra Cooler flying off the back of a truck and tumbling through the mud. This kicks off a kaleidoscopic fever dream of worst-case scenarios in the mind’s eye of the female lead. As she imagines what could unfold, bites to burns to rashes, to wet dogs to never ending slideshows, the witty voiceover rattles off reason after reason why giving a YETI is a terrible idea.
But the truth is, every “disaster” looks kind of amazing. And as the adrenaline builds, so does her resolve. By the end, she commits. This might be the worst idea she’s ever had, but it’s also the best. She’s getting the YETI.
The campaign embraces YETI’s core truth: it’s not just gear, it’s a gateway. A catalyst. And commitment to whatever comes with it. And YETI clearly has no problem beating up their own product in the process. Because they know it’s built to take it. From the mud to the rodeo to the back of a bush plane, these products are made for the ones who go too far—and the loved ones who enable them.
“Don’t Get Them a YETI” flips the holiday script. It’s not just about gift guides and wrapping paper. It’s about understanding what you’re really giving... Read More
