This spot takes us to a future world in which kids won’t see some amazing computing/communications advances as all that extraordinary–these progressive breakthroughs by today’s standards will merely be a part of everyday life. You’ll be able to unlock a computer with a smile, scribble on the Internet, share ideas, not have to worry about technology but embrace it.
Directed by Erich Joiner of Tool, this commercial–“Introducing Windows 10–The future starts now”–is the centerpiece of a new Windows 10 campaign, “a more human way to do,” voiced by Ethan Hawke and embodying a worldview in which people from all walks of life, from a rural child in a developing nation to a city kid in New York, have access to great technology that helps them unlock their potential. Windows 10 is here to make sure no one is limited in what they want to do.

This holiday season, YETI, in partnership with Wieden+Kennedy (W+K) Portland, has launched a film to highlight the unintended consequences of gifting a YETI product to someone you love. “Don’t Get Them a YETI,” is a punchy cautionary tale with a wink, warning those considering gifting a YETI not to, because a world of adventurous highs and lows awaits and it might just be more than they bargained for.
Directed by Daniel Wolfe and Jess Kohl of Love Song, with VO by Oscar- and Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and Yellowstone actor Ryan Bingham, the hero film opens with a YETI Tundra Cooler flying off the back of a truck and tumbling through the mud. This kicks off a kaleidoscopic fever dream of worst-case scenarios in the mind’s eye of the female lead. As she imagines what could unfold, bites to burns to rashes, to wet dogs to never ending slideshows, the witty voiceover rattles off reason after reason why giving a YETI is a terrible idea.
But the truth is, every “disaster” looks kind of amazing. And as the adrenaline builds, so does her resolve. By the end, she commits. This might be the worst idea she’s ever had, but it’s also the best. She’s getting the YETI.
The campaign embraces YETI’s core truth: it’s not just gear, it’s a gateway. A catalyst. And commitment to whatever comes with it. And YETI clearly has no problem beating up their own product in the process. Because they know it’s built to take it. From the mud to the rodeo to the back of a bush plane, these products are made for the ones who go too far—and the loved ones who enable them.
“Don’t Get Them a YETI” flips the holiday script. It’s not just about gift guides and wrapping paper. It’s about understanding what you’re really giving... Read More
