Mercedes Benz: Substitute
Brand
Date
Dec 2025
Description
Mercedes Benz presents 'Substitute,' a holiday-themed commercial that pivots from traditional narratives by focusing on Mrs. Claus as she takes the helm. The spot transitions from a warm, candlelit cabin interior to the expansive, snowy outdoors, where the protagonist navigates a high-performance vehicle. Produced with creative direction from Merkley+Partners and Omnicom Production, the film uses cinematic techniques to balance intimate interior lighting with the cool blue tones of a winter landscape. The project features post-production and visual effects work from Preymaker, with additional production support from The Corner Shop and WORK USA.
