Muse, Questlove Shine Light on Creatives for Honda Fit

Posted in: Uncategorized

Muse Communications taps Questlove in their new spot for the Honda Fit highlighting creative professions.

The 30-second spot features a musician (well, two counting Questlove), an architect and a stylist as The Roots drummer delivers an inspirational speech about going out and finding “your fit.” While the copy can come across as a bit cheesy at times, Questlove‘s delivery is on and it matches the rest of the spot well. Maybe it’s just a matter of the celebrity talent involved, but this campaign extension feels like an improvement over RPA’s flat “Fit For You” spots featuring Nick Thune — even without the same kind of budget. Stick around for credits after the jump. (more…)

Spider-Man Delivers Package for Universal McCann, USPS

Posted in: Uncategorized


Universal McCann teamed up with Sony Picures, and DNA directors Marc Webb (The Amazing Spider-Man, 500 Days of Summer) and Rich Lee to create “Amazing Delivery,” a new Spider-Man themed spot for USPS designed as a tie-in promoting the May 2nd release of The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

The 30-second spot features Spider-Man slinging himself through New York City to deliver a package for a distressed Hollywood director. “Amazing Delivery” follows Spider-Man’s path through the city leading to the package’s delivery to Stan Lee at the premiere of The Amazing Spider-Man 2. The cinematic spot’s charming ending really ties everything together, and it’s evident that everyone involved was excited to work with Spider-Man’s creator, a fact corroborated by director Rich Lee, who said, “Everyone wanted Stan Lee to sign their prepro books and get a photo with Spider-Man…it was actually really sweet and fun to see everyone get so excited around those two. You could see the childlike glints in everyone’s eyes. It was awesome.”

Webb and Lee, who have collaborated in the past, based the spot on the idea that, like Spider-Man, USPS is “speedy, efficient, and there when you need it the most,” drawing on this link to expand upon the creative brief and bring the spot to life. “One of the interesting things about both Spidey and the USPS is that they are both iconic, public servants,” said Rich Lee. “They’re for the people, helping them in their own way. So there is a nice synergy there.”

Stay tuned for credits after the jump. continued…
