    Director Zack Seckler Shares Secret Password, Gets Us Into The Dollar Shave Club

    How do you top one of the most viral brand videos ever made? Spoiler alert: you can’t. But when Dollar Shave Club tapped Zack Seckler to direct a new campaign to revive the absurdist humor of its iconic launch video, he knew he had a rare opportunity to create something special.

    The brief was simple: introduce the concept of a physical “Club” that people would love to join while showcasing Dollar Shave Club’s products and embracing the weird. From script to direction and post, Seckler–an alum of SHOOT’s 2021 New Directors Showcase–was invited to help sculpt that vision.

    The result is this “Welcome to the Club” spot which invites us to join a unique, seemingly exclusive but in reality an accessible and affordable fraternity of Dollar Shave Club members. But you need to know the password or more accurately, the two-word phrase–“shave money.”

    “The Club” campaign brings the brand back to its humorous roots, reflecting a new chapter after being acquired by Nexus Capital Management from Unilever in late 2023. The work takes Dollar Shave Club back to its disruptive beginnings and what made the brand a viral sensation from its inception in 2011.

    Top Spot of the Week: Director Steve Rogers, VCCP Get “Homesick” For Cadbury

    Thursday, January 15, 2026

    Cadbury Dairy Milk has unveiled “Homesick,” a spot from London agency VCCP directed by Steve Rogers via Biscuit Filmworks x Revolver in collaboration with VCCP’s global content creation studio Girl&Bear.

    The film marks the latest chapter in Cadbury’s long-running and IPA Effectiveness Grand Prix-winning brand platform “There’s a Glass & a Half in Everyone.”

    “Homesick” tells the story of two sisters separated by 6,000 miles. Set against the neon glow of Kuala Lumpur, the film opens with the older sister calling home. After the call ends, she reaches for an envelope--an eagerly awaited piece of home--and discovers a Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate bar lovingly wrapped inside. There’s just one twist: her younger sister has already eaten a generous portion of it. A tiny alien sticker holds together what remains of the bar, an unmistakable signature of sibling mischief. It’s a small, human moment--tender, funny and instantly relatable--capturing the way even imperfect gestures can mean everything when you’re far from home.

    The campaign was created by VCCP creatives Emma Jackson and Aly Lane and aims to reinforce Cadbury’s role as a fabric-of-the-nation brand--one that understands and reflects the emotional connections people share every day. As loneliness rises and feelings of belonging decline, Cadbury believes these small acts of generosity have never been more meaningful or more relevant.

    The film will run across TV, VOD and YouTube.
