HP’s latest spot ‘Jane’ tells the story of a girl who begins to lose her creative spark once she grows older and the humdrum routines of adult life set in.

Voted by US Creative Department readers as Ad of the Week, the 60-second spot first shows Jane as a child coloring, dressing up in costumes, and painting.

But once she goes to college and starts her job, her artistic side becomes buried under the demands of her career.

Yet the spot ends on a positive note when Jane becomes inspired by her imaginative daughter – and uses HP’s platform Sprout to foster her child’s creativity.

It also features a rendition of Roger Hodgson’s ‘The Logical Song’ performed by the Silverlake Conservatory of Music’s children’s choir.

Created by agency 180LA, the video is part of the Sprout’s new “Go Make Things” campaign.
