This spot focuses on a lone traveler whose adventure unfolds to the tune of an “All By Myself” parody (with Shindig Music + Sound serving as music/sound design house). Directed by Anthony Mandler of Arts & Sciences, the commercial depicts a traveler having a dismal time until she finds another woman who’s the personification of Expedia.
The new-found friend turns out to be a great companion, upgrading her accommodations, helping the traveler feel connected to the city she’s visiting, and making all the snafus of the past a distant memory.
Anthony Mandler of Arts & Sciences directed this ad, titled “All By Myself” for agencies Team One in L.A. and Saatchi & Saatchi London.
