A Toast to the times

for Anomaly NY
and Diageo North America | Bulleit

‘I’m beyond proud of what we were able to create together because this film is for the dreamers, the fearless trailblazers, the pioneers who have dedicated their lives and their dreams to pushing the culture forward.’

J. Ivy

Grammy Award Winning Poet

The monumental
moments we create

‘A Toast of the Times’ captures Grammy Award winner, spoken word artist, J. Ivy as he pens down his thoughts about pioneers.

Teaming up with our extended Nexus family, director Carlos López Estrada elevated the spot through clever animated flourishes.

We fused together live-action and 2D animation to create this fast-paced ode to creativity and those who break boundaries in their fields.

One part artistry
one part bourbon

Our whiskey connoisseurs rejoiced at the opportunity to combine their love for drinking and making art. Featuring a mix of styles, this spot marks the first activation from The Bulleit Pioneer Project, a multi-year campaign that brings to life the brand’s commitment to amplifying emerging and underrepresented voices across art, sustainability, food, and technology.

and the most decent human beings you’ll probably ever meet…
