Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, a.k.a. Tim & Eric of Adult Swim fame, directed this tongue-in-cheek infomercial style ad starring Jeff Goldblum and introducing the cutting-edge GE link connected LED bulb which can last some 22 years.
In the spot, Goldblum plays an over-the-top celebrity type who owes all of his success to great lighting – the GE Link bulb that enables anyone to remotely control their lighting from anywhere, anytime using just a smartphone and the Wink hub and app. The infomercial touts the many benefits of the GE Link bulb, including its affordability, easy installation and seamless controls from the Wink app, and of course—the beautiful lighting it surrounds you with. In the words of Jeff Goldblum’s character, “Now you can kiss your horribly-lit, non-successful life, goodbye!”
Created by BBDO New York, the two-minute film is currently running on select cable TV and digital channels.

What if your car could change as fast as your life does? Turo is embracing that idea in a new campaign that reimagines car ownership for those that value flexibility over commitment. Created in partnership with New York-based independent creative agency L&C, the campaign brings to life a simple truth: life doesn’t follow a fixed plan, so why should your car?
At the center of the campaign is this tongue-in-cheek film--directed by Bacha Caravedo via production company Senor Z--that follows a protagonist as life keeps throwing curveballs: new relationships, twins they didn’t plan on, a routine that never quite sticks. Each chapter is punctuated by a different car that fits the moment.
From practical to aspirational, understated to indulgent, the vehicles shift as seamlessly as the character’s circumstances, underscoring Turo Monthly, Turo’s long-term rental product as a smarter, more adaptable alternative to traditional ownership or leasing.
By highlighting long-term rentals, the campaign positions Turo as a compelling alternative to the rigidity of leases and the permanence of ownership. With hundreds of thousands of vehicles available across a wide range of price points and styles, Turo allows customers to tailor their driving experience to their evolving needs, without long-term commitments.
“Our idea was to highlight the flexibility Turo offers by dramatizing a simple truth: life can change quickly, and so do your needs--especially when it comes to your car. With Turo Monthly, you can adapt just as easily, switching cars as your life evolves.” said Rolando Cordova, co-founder and co-chief creative officer at L&C. Read More
