At the center of this new campaign for Snickers Peanut Brownie lies the insight that adult life surprises us with all sorts of problems and pitfalls we’re not prepared for–at home, at the office, and in our relationships. And while nobody has all the answers, we do have soothing brownies to make us feel better. “Life is full of hidden problems, so we hid a comforting brownie in a Snickers.” 

This premise is reflected in this :30 titled “Stanimal” in which a boss at a workers’ meeting tries to connect with the rank and file, in one case by using a nickname. Unfortunately she calls one guy by a nickname that the other workers use behind his back. Awkward! Thank goodness she has a Snickers Peanut Brownie to get her through the embarrassment.

Martin Granger of Moxie Pictures directed “Stanimal” for BBDO New York.
