To promote the new season of the Hulu Original series The Path, agency twofifteenmccann set up an experiment to shine a light on an all too human behavior: lying about watching certain TV shows just to seem in the know.
Directed by Tim Godsall of Anonymous Content, this web short titled “In The Know” captures actors in L.A. turning out to audition for a role in The Path. They are getting the opportunity to audition with the show’s star, Aaron Paul. One by one, the actors enter a room and are asked if they were familiar with the series plot. Would they improvise a response even if clueless?
This new exposé, to run on digital and social channels, merrily builds on Hulu’s brand invitation to “Come TV With Us” and offers a simple alternative to being caught in a tangled web of lies: watch all the episodes of hit TV shows, premium originals and movies on Hulu.

Burger King France and KFC France late last month launched a landmark collaboration, a world-exclusive, with the joint creation of an all-new burger available only in France: the BFF burger (Best Friends Forever). There are a flame-grilled meat version available exclusively at Burger King and a crispy chicken version exclusively at KFC.
The two brands decided to set aside their rivalry to jointly launch the “BFF burger” in all their restaurants across France (555 for BK, 379 for KFC), available through December 16. This original and exclusive burger features a shared recipe but one major difference: it comes with flame-grilled meat exclusively at Burger King France and crispy chicken exclusively at KFC France.
Directed by Rick Darge via production company HENRY, this TV spot features War’s classic track “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” as employees from Burger King and KFC are seen singing arm in arm, united in harmony.
The campaign was imagined and orchestrated by Buzzman, in collaboration with Havas Paris for social media, and media placement handled by Wavemaker and Havas Media.
