Description
"Redemption" showcases just how blatantly consumers are being lied to -- by focusing on the profound guilt and regret of a meat marketing manager who makes his way to a Catholic church for absolution. This spot presented the opportunity to cut through some of the branding myths the meat industry has created to the detriment of the public. The goal is to take all of these buzzwords like "free-range," "cruelty free," "sustainable," and alert people to the vague definitions the meat industry has assigned to them. This confessional booth is the ultimate equalizer, and without shareholders or publicists to face, our spin doctor can only face morality.
Execution
This spot was slated to be featured during the 2018 Super Bowl. It ended up premiering online, where it garnered over 1 million total video shares.
