While the vignettes were for use across social platforms and in-store, the 15-second spot was destined for TV in the US, along with a special version for broadcast during the National Hockey League.

We added in little details, like the jump and the heel-click, to really draw the viewer in. It was all about getting the timing and humour right for this project – each vignette needed to pack a punch in a short space of time.
