McCann New York enlisted gay couple Kordale and Kaleb Lewis — who became Instagram celebrities after posting this photo documenting their morning routine fixing their daughters’ hair before school — and family for a new spot for Nikon.
The two-minute plus video takes a closer look at Kordale Lewis, Kaleb and their children, as the couple discusses their morning routine, parenting and their unexpected rise to Internet stardom. It’s part of McCann’s “Generation Image” campaign for Nikon, which launched in November, celebrating the ubiquity and importance of images to millenials. In addition to rocking a Nikon camera in the spot, the couple also says that “A picture is worth so much more than a thousand words,” and given the Lewis’ success it’s hard to argue otherwise. Nikon may be the first brand to capitalize on the Lewis’ fame and endearing personalities, but it’s hard to imagine they’ll be the last.
