In this spot, workers are assigned the onerous task of refreshing the network in 300 company offices by next week. The employees are already in an tenuous position anyway as we see them working bent over backwards–literally.
Luckily Juniper Networks can set up and secure connections in minutes, meaning IT department staffers can assume a healthier posture.
Directed by Elizabeth Orne via production company Hungry Man, this commercial titled “Inflexible Network?” is part of a humorous campaign out of agency WONGDOODY. Orne is an alum of SHOOT’s 2011 New Directors Showcase.

OMC, Director Andreas Nilsson Trade “Youth” For Skittles
Teaming with creative agency partner OMC, consisting of DDB Chicago and Critical Mass, Skittles rolled out a campaign to playfully spotlight what is often dubbed “Gen Z’s commitment paralysis” by asking them to commit to their love for the brand in the most extreme ways possible.

It’s a unique and twisted take on commitment that perfectly embodies the Skittles brand. Colin Selikow, chief creative officer, DDB Chicago, said, “We’re thrilled to create another iteration of our ‘Verb the Rainbow.
