Macy’s Back to School - "All brand new" (2019) :30 (USA)

Do a lot of dancing, sprinkle in some meme effects like the "deal with it glasses", throw a good sound track and color sparkles on top - this is the mix that Macy's hopes will entice generation Z to gear up before they go back to school. Directed by Maxime Bruneel.

According to 1stAveMachine Partner and Executive Producer Sam Penfield, “Maxime is not an obvious choice for a kid’s back to school spot as his style is a bit edgier and street but Major Behavior immediately focused on his work. The agency wanted to make something that would resonate with young people and knew that the authenticity of Maxime’s work was key. The collaboration was delightful and we absolutely love the resulting film.”
