Wednesday Stir

-Ember, maker of a newly launched temperature control mug, is getting into the holiday mood with its first spot from Zambezi. “Sip Symphony” recreates the classic holiday tune “Carol of the Bells” while also highlighting Ember’s patented technology, which allows sippers to set the precise temperature of their hot beverages. Sounds of sipping, stirring and other assorted beverage sounds complete the symphony.
