California Lottery: The Gift is in the Giving by David&Goliath

Agency: David&Goliath
Client: California Lottery
Date: Nov 2018

California Lottery continues its tradition of encouraging people to give Scratchers as gifts to both friends and acquaintances (18 and older), especially to those people who are often forgotten during the holidays. This could be a neighbor, barista, hairstylist or anyone else that adds to your life on a daily basis. The campaign is grounded in the insight that a gift as small as a Scratchers ticket can have a big impact on someone who may not be expecting anything at all.

The centerpiece of this year’s campaign is a long-form spot, 'Neighborly,' that tells the story of a woman who observes and experiences the lack of personal interactions between residents in her apartment building. She then decides to break the norm by giving all her neighbors gifts of Scratchers — the good old fashioned way, by hand-delivery. But first she cleverly addresses all the envelopes “To:” and “From:” different apartments. The result is an apartment building that goes from strangers living in silos to friends coming together to celebrate their common bond.

Not only do we see it snow in California, hinting at the magic in the air, but the spot is set to an equally magical track appropriately titled, Signals, by up and coming artist, Júníus Meyvant. D&G collaborated with the directorial team The Guard Brothers.

The campaign will be featured across OOH, digital, social, experiential and radio components, encouraging people across California.
