The Mission, 72andSunny And Samsung Are Already The Next Big Thing
The Mission continues their long list of high profile collaborations with this years two minute Super Bowl piece for Samsung out of 72andSunny. Not every spot has wall to wall VFX and CG (like W+K’s latest Nike spot also done by The Mission), sometimes you just need some polishing, clean-up and composting all handled with ease (and speed) within a crazy tight turnaround.
Check out the hilarious spot directed by Jon Favreau!
Moxie Pictures’ Frank Todaro and Martin Granger Bring It To The Big Game
Moxie Pictures directors, Frank Todaro and Martin Granger are Superbowl favorites and always bring the funny. This year was no exception with hilarious spots for NFL Network and Mio. Check them out below!

Another year, another Super Bowl! In less than a couple days 100 million+ eyes will be glued to the tube and this year our roster has another slew of spots aimed to impress. There are even a couple interactive and experiential projects in the mix!
Tool of North America comes strong with everything from an in-stadium experiential installation crafted by Jason Zada and Jason Nickels that asks fans to do their best to “Out Ray, Ray Lewis,” to several game time ads.
Check out more about the project here.
Tool’s Erich Joiner, Tom Routson, Benji Weinstein and James Brown all have spots this year. Creativity featured part one of Erich Joiner’s three part “saga” for Gildan today, you can check out part one here:

The Mission is three for three with the Super Bowl since their inception and the second year in a row working with 72andSunny on Samsung. El Plato Supreme is the hilarious teaser but don’t forget to check out the two minute “special” during the game!
And last but definitely not least, Superfad and Cars.com teamed up with agency, Piston, to create several online experiences that will be launching coinciding with the game.
