American Know-How
Created in partnership with Future Majority and Wake Up & Vote to amp up the 8M swing voters that went from Obama to Trump and swing them back to Biden. Working with a team of badass animators/designers including Hoda Ramy and Notion’s premier partner in sound and music, J Clark. We were honored to collaborate on the script with legendary film director, writer, and producer Marshall Herskovitz (Traffic, The Last Samurai, Blood Diamond)! By using a retro-futuristic animation style that conveys classic American ingenuity from the ‘50’s updated with a contemporary look - featuring a a more diverse cast - we refocus on timeless, forward-thinking American Collaborative Ingenuity as the answer to our current economic predicament. This spot’s aim is to evoke the idea of what America represents to ALL people, and inspires us to come together and rally around our ability to achieve epic, innovative solutions to society’s problems, which in turn generates a thriving economy.
