Pytka Tells Story of Sony's 'Lewis Family' for Y&R NEW YORK For year two of its "Lewis Family" campaign for Sony Electronics, WPP's Young & Rubicam turned to Joe Pytka. Two spots breaking Oct. 5 showcase the director's storytelling talents, capturing family exchanges with a wink and a smile. In one, 4-year-old Isabelle uses a straight-to-DVD Handicam to secretly film her teen brother Matt singing "You are my shining star" to his girlfriend. The spots, part of an estimated $25 million campaign, introduce a new umbrella tagline: "Sony. Like no other." (Last year's three spots were tagless.) The spots aim to tap into Sony's multigenerational appeal and capture truisms such as teens explaining high-tech gear to parents, said Chris Fawcett, Sony's director of corporate strategic marketing.
