The Ultimate Holiday Commercial

Two creatives, tasked with creating a “sincere holiday greeting,” envision a grab bag of a spot filled with... affluence, Jingle Bells, abundant gifts (and purchases), kittens, puppies, polar bears, romance, retro, ethnic diversity, dancing Santa, VR Santa, dancing cookies, dreamy kids (dreaming of clients’ products and services), lumber. The closing voiceover, as they would have it, is “genuine, sincere, heartfelt,” as it states, “The very best thing about the holidays is you. Our warmest holiday greeting and best wishes for the new year.” The spot-within-a-spot ends, and over a festive photo of Brunner staff (Michael Brunner in elf hat), a final super states “at least we nailed the sincerity part.”
