Directed by Jakob Ström for Energy BBDO, this ad opens on Celia, a 14-year old girl chewing gum and scrolling through her phone. The older sister, Lena, is filming herself learning a dance and tries to ask Celia for a piece of EXTRA® gum but, her gestures go unnoticed. Later, Lena grabs a pen and writes: NEW FRIEND: LENA [ ] CONFIRM [ ] DENY on an EXTRA® wrapper. Celia then looks up at her, smiles and puts down her phone reminding us that sometimes the smallest gestures can be the most refreshing.
Titled “Real Friend Request,” the spot is running across multiple platforms and channels, including television and full episode players such as Hulu, Roku and Amazon Fire TV. The :30 is also available on YouTube.
