David & Goliath LA Makes ‘The Announcement’ for California Lottery

By Erik Oster 

David & Goliath Los Angelese launched a new ad for the California Lottery, introducing new Extra Play Scratchers.

The agency plays on the fact that the new scratch off game is the first-ever with a game on both sides of the card, presenting this as a gasp-worthy innovation. It introduces the card via a tech release parodying event called Innovationcon 2015 in which its spokesman claims it will innovate innovation, due to being “shatterproof,” “bendable” and two-sided. Unfortunately, the tech event parody approach is running a bit thin, following similar premises from Cheetos and Apartments.com in recent months, even if it makes more sense coming out of California. The 45-second broadcast spot is supported by digital, mobile and OOH components designed to showcase “how California Lottery has created a Scratchers ticket so forward-thinking, it might just change Californians’ perspective on Scratchers tickets forever.”
