In this anthem spot directed by Michel Gondry of Partizan for Altice’s Amplify speaker out of agency VMLY&R, puppetry and CGI help to bring a mundane home’s cast of characters to life (and a dance party). A clever parrot cues the Amplify speaker, which wakes up the entire house–from bobblehead baseball player dolls to the TV weatherwoman, picture album and chessboard.
As the house’s quirky inhabitants give a rendition of “Pump Up the Jam,” director Gondry’s distinctive style illustrates the imaginative possibilities that the smart speaker brings to an otherwise ordinary home.
The campaign is based on the insight that consumers care about enjoying the things they are connecting to, but they don’t want to have to think about the technology that gets them there. Altice creates experiences so simple and immersive, they bring everything around you to life.
For this launch spot titled "Happy Home," Altice and VMLY&R reworked this version of Pump up the Jam by Technotronic with Squeak E. Clean Studios’ executive creative director Sam Spiegel.

Heineken® is bringing a new approach to fan connection this summer. Whether it be music, movies or sport--only the biggest fans keep their old tickets as mementos. Now, Heineken is bringing 23-time Grand Slam champion and Heineken 0.0 Global Ambassador Serena Williams’ biggest fans together by re-activating her past tickets for this year’s U.S. Open.
As an extension of Heineken’s “Fans Have More Friends” campaign and in partnership with the tennis icon, Second Serve Tickets revives tickets from any of Williams’ past U.S. Open tournaments for a chance to score a seat in the exclusive Heineken Suite at Arthur Ashe Stadium at the 2026 US Open.
Fans at the 2026 U.S. Open can also purchase limited-edition Heineken 0.0 cans inspired by the ticket designs from Serena Williams’ six US Open championship wins, available exclusively at the 2026 US Open starting Monday, August 24 (while supplies last) alongside the full Heineken portfolio.
Simon Dolsten of Dolsten & Co. directed this hero spot--from creative agency LePub New York--which meshes live action and animation with Williams in the starring role. Read More
