No one brand should have all that power.
But Duracell still does it in AOR Wieden + Kennedy’s latest for the battery company, which extends the “Trust is Power” campaign that launched back in January.
As in previous spots, these run on themes. The newest is “Camping” and the many things that can go wrong when one does not have a reliable source of power for that all-important flashlight.
We also missed the last spot in the series, which launched last month and played on the truism that hardcore gamers may not be the world’s most socially adept individuals.
Our favorite part of this last one is the fact that pretty much everybody in the YouTube comments asked who owns that SICK Infiniti G37 in the background.
“Camping” was directed by Biscuit Filmworks’ Andreas Nilsson, who also helmed “Epic Split” and the recent KFC spot starring Rob Lowe.
The campaign is also active on the social with the graphics that move.
