This 4 minute video is the best thing ever ever done in the world of Brand videos. This is what happens when the client calls all the shots and has terrible ideas.

The theme song is everything.

Soyjack cows pointing at Veronika the cow scratching herself with a broom.

Bad line drawing of two anthropomorphic cows, as if hastily traced in a paint app. Both cows are close to the camera looking directly to the viewer and making excited "OOHH" face as one of them points backwards away from the camera towards two photographs of a brown cow using a broom held in her mouth to scratch her hip and undercarriage.

After this swam into my brain last night (unbidden, if you will, but clearly there are neural pathways that divert here at the slightest nudge), it occurred to me that a few people may not have experienced it. Put that hot drink down. Now. Yes before you start reading.

F Scott Fitzgerald famously wrote, in The Last Tycoon, that there are no second acts in American Lives. If ever anyone proved that wrong, Patricia Hearst did – and, indeed, continues to. Obviously, you know the most prominent bit of her story, which began on this day in 1974... 🧡
