Director Sam Southward transports viewers to a miniature alpine wonderland in this beautifully detailed CG spot, titled “Goodness,” for Milka chocolate.
Produced by Nexus Studios in collaboration with Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam, the rich and tactile setting feels like a handmade miniature set when in reality Southward and the team skillfully crafted every detail of the environment digitally.
The acute attention to detail in every aspect of this spot, including the use of real cotton wool to form the clouds, alongside a multi-layered sense of depth and scale, add to its stop-motion like charm and surreal sense of humor.
Following “a day in the life” of a small, remote and rural community, the piece uncovers the secret to the irresistible goodness of Milka chocolate, its herd of only 60 cows providing 100% alpine milk in every bar.
Southward shared, “Creating Milka’s alpine wonderland was an exercise of pure escapism for me. From the early concepts through to the fully realized world, we wanted to achieve a detailed and tactile feel that would exude charm. Immersing viewers in this heartwarming miniature world and leaving them with a truly memorable moment of goodness.”

Tropicana has launched “Give Life Some Juice,” a masterbrand campaign created in partnership with creative agency FIG. The campaign moves away from traditional category tropes to a lush, immersive tropical world that reflects the uplifting feeling of being transported to the tropics with every sip of Tropicana juice.
The work was developed alongside production house RESET directors Dorian & Daniel and animation studio Untold, who used hyperrealistic CGI to create a distinctive visual world that blends cutting-edge technology with human craftsmanship.
Set to the track “UP!” by Forrest Frank and Connor Price, this :60 hero spot, “Up,” opens with a sloth hanging from an orange tree in the rainforest, reaching for a bottle of Tropicana 100% Orange Juice. Instantly rejuvenated, he leaps into a world that comes alive around him, moving through the lush landscape and interacting with fellow animals, all with a renewed sense of swagger and confidence.
“There’s a reason electricity is nicknamed ‘juice.’ It makes things happen. We took that cultural truth and reimagined it through a more emotional lens, focusing on the feeling of uplift that only Tropicana can bring,” said Mark Figliulo, founder and creative chair at FIG. “Instead of leaning into category conventions, we built an entirely new world that’s expressive, character-driven and rooted in the tropics to show how even a small moment can transform your day.”
