Featured Skittles projects
This week's top Skittles projects, carefully handpicked by Visie's expert curators, showcase the best in style and innovation.
Skittles · Therapist
Skittles presents 'Therapist,' a commercial film featuring actor Michael C. Hall in a comedic interaction set within a traditional office environment. The spot focuses on a dialogue-driven narrative where the lead character shares his anxieties while holding a packet of the product. Produced by SMUGGLER, the project utilizes live-action techniques to maintain a clean, professional aesthetic. The execution centers on the performance within the static, structured setting of a therapist's office.
Skittles · Deliver the Rainbow
Skittles presents 'Deliver the Rainbow,' a comedic commercial spot that leans into the brand's signature absurdist tone. The narrative follows two high school students whose conversation about candy is interrupted by the arrival of a surreal, furry creature summoned through a makeshift horn. The production moves between a high school corridor and a wooded outdoor setting, utilizing live-action technique to ground the surreal elements. The project features deadpan dialogue paired with elaborate, high-production costume design to establish its cinematic aesthetic.
Skittles · Settle It
In 'Settle It' for Skittles, DDB Chicago explores a surreal narrative set in a remote desert town where residents resolve disputes through a display of oversized, bulging biceps. The spot leans into deadpan comedic acting, contrasting a desaturated, gritty aesthetic with deliberate visual effects. The production, directed with a cinematic focus, utilizes natural daylight to ground the absurd premise in a series of dusty, rural environments, including a barbershop and town square. The film highlights the brand's comedic direction through its integration of live-action technique and CGI.
Skittles · Global Pride
Skittles Global Pride presents an animated exploration of community celebrations through a vibrant, high-energy lens. The project utilizes expressive motion graphics and a bold color palette to bring diverse public spaces to life. Produced by Hornet, the film incorporates dynamic character design and graphic animation styles to maintain a fluid, celebratory pace. Sound design and original music for the piece were provided by Human.
Skittles · Portrait
In a delightful subversion of traditional brand storytelling, Skittles leans into high-concept absurdity with its latest comedic campaign, Portrait. The film transforms the typically sterile environment of a luxury hall into a stage for playful tension, featuring an unexpected appearance by rock legend Steven Tyler. As Tyler navigates a space adorned with gold records and historic armor, he encounters a meticulous, large-scale mosaic portrait of himself constructed entirely from the brand's iconic colorful candies. This live-action technique creates a sharp visual contrast between the ornate, dimly lit setting and the vibrant, pop-art nature of the installation. The creative direction from TBWA\Chicago leans heavily into the awkward, comedic friction of the moment, capturing Tyler’s genuine, dramatic disdain for the uncanny confectionery likeness. By utilizing cinematic lighting that radiates a warm, soft glow, the piece feels less like a conventional food and beverage advertisement and more like a structured narrative sketch. The result is a sharp, self-aware piece of marketing within the CPG sector that prioritizes character-driven humor over traditional product shots, successfully positioning Skittles as a brand that is comfortable being the punchline. This project demonstrates how a bold creative vision can elevate simple snack-based content into a memorable, high-production experience that resonates with a broad, entertainment-focused audience.
Skittles · Creed
In a delightful subversion of the modern corporate reality, Skittles taps into the eccentric charm of actor Creed Bratton for their latest CPG commercial, Creed. The film leans into the absurdity of the work-from-home era, capturing Bratton in a domestic setting that is as polished as it is peculiar. Clad in a crisp suit jacket paired with bright yellow shorts, Bratton brings his signature brand of dry wit to a scene that expertly balances brand playfulness with relatable domesticity. The project, brought to life through the creative vision of the team at 19th & Park, uses a live-action technique to ground the humor in a tactile, lived-in environment. From the laptop screen signaling an incoming call from a mysterious boss to the curated details like the model sailboat and the LAKE LIFE throw pillow, every element feels intentionally placed to mirror the cluttered charm of a home office. By utilizing warm, natural lighting and sharp, intimate framing, the campaign turns a mundane snack break into a high-visibility comedic moment. This collaboration highlights how the Food & Beverage industry continues to find fresh ways to integrate legacy characters into punchy, contemporary storytelling without sacrificing the core DNA of the product. It is a masterclass in personality-driven advertising that proves, even at home, a little bit of color makes everything more interesting.
Skittles · Smile
Skittles presents Smile, a narrative-driven commercial spot set against the backdrop of an indoor go-karting venue. The film focuses on interpersonal dynamics within a social setting, utilizing a cool color grade to define the atmosphere of the space. Produced by SMUGGLER, the project employs live-action technique and cinematic framing to capture the interactions between the two featured characters. The scene relies on natural lighting to maintain a grounded tone while highlighting the details of the racing environment.
Skittles · Sour Gummy Skittles College Prospect
