Toto USA: advert-body-3 by barrettSF
- Location:
Toto USA, the Americas division of the Toto Global Group and one of the world’s largest plumbing manufacturers, has teamed up with advertising agency BarrettSF to create a new video for its Washlet, a high-tech bidet seat. Aimed to change America’s approach to bathroom hygiene, its message is simple: use water to clean your backside.
To show how the Washlet works, the video follows a man toting a seemingly endless hose. He makes his way through several scenes, spraying water to clean everything in his path – from a dumper to a tray full of buns, a backdoor, a brownie box, an undercarriage and a poster featuring the planet Uranus.
The video was directed by Cameron Harris of Gravy Films. As a native New Zealander, where toilets are rumored to flush backwards, he brought a global perspective to the project.
