    Knucklehead Director Rob Leggatt Unveils Dual Films For Havas WW’s New VO5 Campaign

    LOS ANGELES -- (SPW) --
    Havas Worldwide enlists Knucklehead director Rob Leggatt to unveil VO5’s latest line of men’s hairstyling products with a stunning new set of ads that work in sync to tell a revolutionary story of hair-spiration.
     
    Set in historic South America, the campaign films are made up of pairs of 60” Cinema Commercials, 30” TVC’s and 20” VOD cut-downs, and play out as a clever Sliding Doors-style narrative between a General and a Peasant whose lives intertwine in a chance crossing.
     
    Politics and bad hair don’t always go hand in hand, and Leggatt proves it in the spot “Peasant,” when a young man finds his calling after sprucing up his mop with VO5’s Casual Control Rough it Up Putty.  Evita has nothing on this be-coiffed firebrand, who cleans up nicely and gets the locals in a tizzy with his perfect pompadour.
     
    The tandem spot “General,” sees one uniformed fellow realize the power to change his destiny is in his own hands. An image overhaul is orchestrated with the help of V05’s Thicken Up Lifting Paste, and the one-time General is reincarnated as a guitar-slinging tousled-hair musician.
     
    Leggatt’s lush cinematic visuals perfectly complement the light-hearted tone of the spots, culminating in a cohesive tale that exudes rustic charm.

    Frame Theory Brand Refresh Embodies Creative Film Company’s Evolution

    Thursday, November 6, 2025
    Examples of the new wordmark for Frame Theory, an award-winning creative film company specializing in multi-platform, human-centered storytelling for global brands.

    The award-winning creative film company Frame Theory (formerly: The Frame Theory) has refreshed its brand, unveiling new visuals and positioning that reflect its evolution as a trusted storytelling partner. The refresh comes as Frame Theory refines its capabilities to serve a changing industry, after building a reputation for helping such recognized names as KEEN Footwear, Elijah Craig Bourbon and Alzheimer’s Association tell their stories through brand films, commercial spots and digital mediums. Watch a highlight reel HERE. “Just as the industry has evolved, so have we – the way we engage with brands and the creative strategy we bring to each project,” explained Frame Theory executive producer Sarah Nix-Ward, who founded the company alongside partner & creative director Brandon M. Ward. “It was time that our own brand more clearly represented those changes.” To take on this project, the team commissioned artist Brian Steely (Steely Works Brand Design), who is known for his iconic designs for Nike, Element Skateboards and other global consumer brands and touring bands. Steely created Frame Theory’s original raven logo almost a decade ago, which he updated with a modern, simple and yet sleek vibe before dropping “The” from the wordmark. “In many cultures around the world, the raven is considered the bringer of light, so we’ve always felt that was an appropriate mark for a filmmaking company,” said Brandon. “We wanted to keep the raven, yet evolve it for this refresh.” The additional assets Steely created nod to Frame Theory’s style of cinematic naturalism,...
