Technicolor’s Holiday Ad Round-Up Brings the Festivity

• A new round of holiday ads captures the spirit of the season by blending the wish to suspend reality with the best traditions of storytelling.

Once again, Technicolor’s award-winning VFX studios The Mill, MPC, and Mikros have been working like Santa’s elves at their busiest time of year.

It’s become a time-honored tradition for Technicolor to work with top agencies and the world’s most recognized brands on getting their key messages out in new and fun ways during the busy holiday season. Using a combination of creative artistry and technological wizardry, they enable these most inventive of campaigns to stand out from the holiday crowd of commercial advertising.

Technicolor’s holiday ad work this year includes major retailers such as Amazon, L.L. Bean, and Cost Plus World Market, luxury brands such as BMW and Lincoln, technology leaders such as HP, Intel, and Samsung, returning award-winners such as John Lewis, and other favorites such as McDonald’s, Toyota, and Mumm champagne.
