As election season really heats up, joining the Maker’s Mark Cocktail Party 2012 is a strategic move more appealing to many than conquering the political divide. Agency Doe Anderson has released a slate of :15 spots via
http://www.makersmark.com/#cocktail-party that feature politically diametric couple James Carville and Mary Matalin and were helmed by Directorz’ Jeff Bednarz.
The vignettes charm as Carville and Matalin engage in playful verbal sparring over their politically disparate views, ultimately coming together over the love of a great cocktail. The spots were shot at the classic and beautiful Arnaud’s restaurant in New Orleans. It was at this historic establishment that Carville and Matalin celebrated their wedding reception, and where presidents, dignitaries and politicos of all stripes have raised a glass for generations.
To see how it all came together please view Directorz’ Making of Maker’s – along with recent spots from the campaign -- here:
