Ad of the Day: Ritz plays on a frantic family scenario that’s all too relatable
The ‘Ready When You Aren’t’ campaign comes from creative agency VCCP and was directed by The Bobbsey Twins.
Mondelez cracker brand Ritz is playing into the all-too-familiar feeling of being caught off guard when guests appear at the door earlier than planned. The ad sees a family rush franticly to get the house tidy in the nick of time before letting the arrivals in.
The film’s stunts were worked on with content creator Daniel LaBelle, renowned for his physical comedy on TikTok and YouTube.
The film closes out with the voiceover saying, ‘Ritz. Ready when you aren’t’ as the camera pans to the packet of Ritz, which is ready to entertain while the family catches their breath.
The spot will be amplified with an integrated campaign that will be rolled out across out-of-home (OOH), paid social and PR channels.
