A guy offers to buy the next round of drinks at a bar. To pay for the pause that refreshes, he pulls out a lawnmower but the bartender isn’t interested in barter.
Rather the barkeep shows the gent how to turn stuff into cash via letgo, an app designed to buy and sell stuff locally.
Instantly, the lawnmower fetches $70 and now everyone can whet their whistles.
Titled “Rounds,” this is part of a package of ads directed by Tim & Eric (comedians Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim) of production house PRETTYBIRD for Droga5 NY. The spots preach “less stuff, more living” as part of letgo’s “Live and letgo” campaign, which shows how simple it is to transform everything you don’t need around your home into things, experiences and adventures that move you.
