CP+B’s funny new spot for Kraft Macaroni & Cheese examines the desperate lengths people will go to for a bite of Kraft’s signature macaroni and cheese-like-product.

Set to Marvin Hamlisch’s “What I Did For Love,” the 45 second spot shows individuals engaging in some questionable behavior to get their hands on Kraft Mac & Cheese, ranging from the everyday sneakiness of a grandfather stealing a bite from his grandson while the family says grace, to the potentially unsanitary exploits of a man who desperately destroys his child’s macaroni picture, to the utter illegality of a woman willing to steal a Kraft Macaroni & Cheese truck. Directed by Hank Perlman, “What I Did For Love” is the latest in CP+B’s “You Know You Love It” campaign for Kraft Mac & Cheese, and is a perfect example of what the campaign is capable of. The new spot is a lot more thought through than the “Noodle Reunion” promotion we covered back in October, and while they push the irreverent humor to new heights — for Kraft Mac & Cheese it’s downright edgy — they balance the irreverence with Kraft’s standard wholesomeness to make a fun spot that works for the brand. Stick around for credits after the jump. continued…

We’ve received confirmation from those in the know that Paul Sincoff, who’s spent nearly two years copywriting at Mekanism on campaigns such as this one for Method, has headed to Boulder and officially started this week as an associate creative director at Crispin Porter + Bogusky. If you recall, Sincoff was the man behind the “Ad Agency in My Mind” site during a brief stint at SVP/ACD on JetBlue among other accounts while at Mullen back in 2011. During his career, Sincoff spent a handful of years at TBWA\Chiat\Day and one as an interactive copywriter at TBWA\Tequila on a variety of past and present accounts from Playstation to Visa.

Along with Sincoff’s hire, CP+B has also promoted Ryan Nikolaidis, the man who helped lead work on the Jell-O “Jiggle It” app, to the rather unique title of associate director of physical computing.
