SuperHeroes is an Amsterdam-based agency that just established its first stateside office here in our fair city of New York. How do we know this? Because we just received the agency’s first “American” campaign.
The New York move, which prompted AdAge to speculate that SuperHeroes might be “the first Dutch ad agency in Manhattan,” came on the heels of a big win: Korean computer giant Asus.
The agency’s new work promotes that client — and, as promised in our headline, it stars a multitasking bro with feathers, or “The World’s Most Modern Bird”:

And lest you think these Swedes take themselves too seriously, here are a couple of quotes:
Rogier Vijverberg, ECD of SuperHeroes, says: “Modern working may be something people like to bore their friends about, but bring birds with arms into the picture and suddenly you have their full attention.”
Andrew Watson, of production company Minivegas: “Casting birds that actually had arms was a challenge, but once done, we found most of them remarkably open to direction and very patient.”
And now, your credits.
