    Chad Ashley of Digital Kitchen directed this animated/stylized spot from Publicis Seattle for Les Schwab, a family-owned chain of tire and auto maintenance stores. The storyline for the commercials in this campaign are based on actual letters from happy Les Schwab customers, in this case a nanny whose car conked out in a residential neighborhood and got help from a local resident who turned out to be a Les Schwab staffer.

    The animated/stylized production approach provides a unique twist on the traditional testimonial.

    Headquartered in Bend, Oregon, Les Schwab has over 450 retail stores in the western U.S. Campaign spots will run across western U.S. markets including Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California, Utah, Nevada, Colorado and Montana.

    The Best Work You May Never See: Director Øyvind Holtmon’s FINN Jobb Spot Tackles Worker Anxiety Over AI

    Friday, February 6, 2026

    In a new campaign for FINN Jobb, Norwegian director Øyvind Holtmon of production house Bacon teams with Oslo ad agency Morgenstern to tackle the anxiety around AI replacing human expertise and the contagious trend of professionals switching to content creation as a vocation. The film wastes no time setting up its premise, opening inside a research lab where scientists are urged to “stop sciencing” by management as a result of a long equation being solved exceptionally fast via artificial intelligence by KA.I from IT.

    Shot with a clean, clinical visual language and played entirely straight, the film leans into Nordic minimalism and dry humor, letting contrast and restraint drive the comedy rather than exaggeration. Faced with the what-now-moment, the scientists jump hands-on into the new absurdity of creating content. Through synchronized dances, ring lights and dead-serious faces, the lab transforms into a performative stage. In the midst of the excitement, FINN Jobb sneaks through the frame, positioning the platform as a grounded companion in times of change.

    As Norway’s largest marketplace for job advertisements, with about 5.7 million job applications in 2025 alone, the film positions FINN Jobb as the go-to platform in an uncertain job market. By flipping a familiar nightmare into an unexpectedly funny, yet hopeful outcome, Holtmon’s story lands as both a satire and a gentle reminder that opportunities won’t disappear.
