American Greetings: advert-body-3 by MullenLowe
- Location:
American Greetings has released a Valentine’s Day video that eschews the mushy-gushy in favor of a deeper, more relatable message.
Created by MullenLowe, the ad features people who use greeting cards to relay thoughts that are sometimes too hard to say out loud or in the heat of an argument.
For example, an elderly man whose son has become his caretaker uses a card to tell him that seeing him is the best part of his day. Later in the ad, a nervous young woman decides to write ‘I love you’ in a greeting card instead of saying it to her new girlfriend face to face.
“We don’t always say what we mean,” concludes the spot. “When we do, it means everything.”
