Smoking definitely isn’t cool anymore but fire is, and flames are the focus of a new brand campaign for heritage lighter company Zippo by Ogilvy. The classic flip-top metal lighters are looking to gain new fans through a series of intense films that feature people using the lighters for anything but firing up cigarettes.

As Zippo rings in its 90th anniversary, it looks forward with a new platform, “Live with Confidence,” rooted in its 90 years of durable products, including a lifetime guarantee for its lighters.
