Nivea
Body (Anti-Cellulite Cream)
Credit: Director
Production Company: Partizan
Brief: How do you make a woman take care of the part of her body she’d like to hide most?
Solve: Make her proud of it, thanks to the brand that celebrates every part of it.
This one was fun to direct for a female Swedish creative team/powerhouse. It not only felt great to develop the chant track, cast, choreograph, shoot but it felt even better to get it out there - especially at a time where bodies that didn’t fit the mold were generally hidden. (Let alone celebrated.) Once produced, we ran our director’s cut on YouTube. Resulting in explosive chatter within hours; comments ranged from feeling “less alone” to smiley face emojis to “feeling better understood.” (Always nice to know we do more than peddle skin cream.)
