It seems every day we’re inundated with commercials that utilize familiar advertising tropes and cliches. And while other spots may try to hide their use of these familiar tools, Liberty Mutual’s “Something to Help You Remember” campaign embraces them head on. In the second iteration of the campaign from Goodby Silverstein & Partners (GS&P NY), more fun is poked at tried-and-true advertising cliches to help you remember Liberty Mutual customizes home insurance.
In the mix of new spots–directed by Tim Godsall of Anonymous Content–is this one entitled “Young People” in which the title characters are at a pool party, having fun with insurance. After all, what’s more inviting than young people having a good time?
“We’ve always really embraced research and strategy. So, when we realized there are scientifically proven ways to get people to engage with and remember your brand, we didn’t want to hide that. Why not be transparent about what we’re selling and how we’re selling it? That level of honesty felt fresh, fun, and most importantly, we know it works,” said David Suarez, co-executive creative director GS&P NY.

Fresh off Lay’s 2025 beloved Super Bowl spot, “The Little Farmer,” and a global brand refresh, comes a brand-new commercial airing in the first half of the big game on Feb. 8.
Titled “Last Harvest,” the new emotionally driven ad follows a father-daughter potato farming duo as they pass down generations of potato harvesting knowledge, showcasing a true legacy in the agriculture community. Academy Award winner (Jojo Rabbit) Taika Waititi directed “Last Harvest” via production house Hungry Man for agencies Highdive and Frito-Lay in-house shop D3. Waititi brought his signature storytelling style to this year’s Lay’s ad, just as he did with “The Little Farmer.”
Set against a moving rendition of “Somewhere Only We Know” (originally recorded by English rock band Keane), “Last Harvest” weaves through heartfelt flashbacks, shining a light on the family-owned farms behind many of Lay’s potato chips.
“Last Harvest” was inspired by Neumiller Farms in Illinois, a family farm that Lay’s parent PepsiCo has worked with for decades. It’s a third-generation potato and vegetable farm now run by father and daughter team Tom Neumiller and Katie Floming, who grow 3,500 acres of potatoes annually. Their farm plays a vital role in the Lay’s story, with Tom now guiding Katie as she prepares to lead the farm’s next chapter.
