Stavros...Is That You?
I saw this spot on TV the other night & laughed my head off, so I gave Ann at Zig a call to get my hands on these two new Mr. Sub spots. Stavros is my favourite, but the "nice to meet you" at the end of Subtaur cracks me up too. Directed by James Paterson of the Electric Company. Zig Creative Team: Mark Puchala & Michael Clowater.

I love the direction JWT NY is going with Domino's Pizza. First there was Fudgems & now this great campaign directed by The Perlorian Brothers via Biscuit/Reginald Pike. Some trivia - the Nana in "Nana" was one of the original cast members of The Little Rascals. Cool.
