Clif Bar: Make it Good by Callen
- Location:
Clif Bar & Company launched the most significant advertising campaign in its 27-year history, 'Make it Good,' which reflects on its trailblazing choices to run a different kind of food company. The campaign leads with a series of quirky commercials including 90- and 30-second anthem spots featuring the Clif Bar logo’s iconic climber as the lead character. Purposefully designed to break through the clutter of typical food advertising, the ads uniquely illustrate the company’s approach to running a sustainable food company by making intentional choices for the benefit of people and the planet.
Clif Bar worked with Callen on the creative campaign, led by founder and chief creative officer Craig Allen and directed by Andreas Nilsson. Paul Austerberry, an Academy Award-winner for Shape of Water, contributed to the whimsical set designs.
The ads will first air during the NBA playoffs and the national campaign will extend to live events, cinemas, and across major media outlets through June 2019. People will be able to learn more about the campaign via social media and at summer events across the US.
