Hasta La Creative!

We saw a lot of agency holiday card videos and websites this past month. A few were very well made, while some just seemed tossed, and a few were so weird we didn’t know quite what to make of them. If you missed out on all this holiday card action, never fear. We’ve compiled some of the best, worst and weirdest for you below. Enjoy, feel free to leave your own suggestions in the comments section, and have a Happy New Year.

“Season’s Greetings From Guy Holiday” – Ignited

LA-based agency Ignited created our favorite holiday card this year by taking on the agency holiday card itself. Ignited’s character Guy Holiday, — described as “if BuzzFeed had a baby with Ron Burgundy and then that baby was raised by, well, Agency Spy” — is an agency holiday card expert who shares his rules for a successful holiday card. He’s a funny character, who gives advice like ““always include a cute animal” because “animals are like mother nature’s stuffed animals.” Agencies would do well to take Guy’s advice before crafting their cards next year.

Viewpoint Creative’s Holiday Card

Viewpoint Creative’s delightfully wacky take on the agency holiday card was another one of our favorites. The Boston-based agency imagines a worst-case-scenario for forgetting to unplug the Christmas tree that includes a giant New Year’s baby and a demon Santa, which should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect. The video’s amateurish construction only adds to the charm, and fits the mood perfectly.
