BBDO NY Parts Ways with Nick Lachey for Twix

By Erik Oster 

Earlier this month, BBDO New York launched an extension of Twix’s “Left Twix Vs. Right Twix” platform featuring Nick Lachey as spokesman for both Left Twix and Right Twix. Now, the agency has released the follow-up with the final round of ads for the campaign.

In the above spot, “Left Twix Parts Ways With Nick Lachey,” a Left Twix spokesman explains that the company has decided to drop Lachey following the leak of a video in which Lachey admits he can’t tell the difference between Left Twix and Right Twix. Of course, since they’re “unoriginal idea-stealers,” Right Twix also decides to fire Lachey. Two shorter ads then see Lachey setting the record straight, claiming the superiority of Peanut Butter Left Twix and Peanut Butter Right Twix in the two spots. It’s basically more of the same formula for the campaign, but the whole firing of Lachey approach is not a bad way to cap off his involvement with the brand and fits well with the overall tone of Twix’s advertising.
