Driveway.com unveiled its new campaign, ‘Happy Place.’ There are two funny adverts part of this campaign:
- First is set in a magical forest where gigantic cuddly cats and hot cocoa trains are part of a relaxing experience for a laidback dude and an inquisitive talking deer.
- The latest spot in the campaign is a splashy tale in which a surfer shops for a car while riding a giant wave and having her hair brushed by a mermaid. Taking a meditative posture, she explains Driveway’s “totes chill vibes” to a chatty dolphin.
Created by agency Bruiser in collaboration with FANCY and Director MAPP, both spots used a blend of in-camera and visual effects magic to deliver a blend of comedic timing, sincere performance, and fantastical environments.
“We believe that strong brands have a strong point of view,” says Nick Strada, Founder of creative agency Bruiser. “The team at Driveway knows that their number one job is to put their customers at ease and give them maximum control. Our job is to tell their story with creativity, respect, and craft. Oh, and a nosy dolphin never hurts.”
