Ad of the Day: A Dangerous Disco Ball Ends Up With the Perfect People, Thanks to Letgo

The spot, "Disco Ball," from Crispin Porter + Bogusky Miami, keeps up the app's marketing approach of creating ads in the style of big-budget Hollywood action films (see below in case you missed the earlier spots). This time around, the director is Craig Gillespie, best known for 2007's Lars and the Real Girl and 2011's reboot of Fright Night.

While the previous ads took place mostly in one location, this time we watch as two women weave through epic car crashes—likely of their own creation—while debating the merits of keeping a massive disco ball. Luckily, the right group of friends comes along to help.

While it's tangential to the plot, it's worth noting how subtly CP+B handles the two women's relationship, not bothering to clarify whether they're a couple or roommates. This was handled similarly well in an earlier spot, "Escape," which featured two male superspy types who had a wonderfully understated, romantic rapport.

With tens of millions of downloads and continuing growth, Letgo will have ads running during the Olympics, and you can look for more spots to debut soon. Until then, check out the app's earlier spots below—or try your hand at creating an epic ad for your own used junk with the app's "Commercializer" tool.
