  • Maaco

MaacoPaint and auto body shop Maaco announced the launch of its national integrated advertising campaign, ‘The Upside of Uh-Ohs.’ The campaign kicks off with a musically driven TV spot, directed by Grammy award-winner Joseph Kahn, that refreshes the iconic brand tagline, ‘Uh-Oh, Better Get Maaco’. The creative campaign is rooted in the brand’s almost 50-year reputation as the one to call whenever it’s time for a fresh paint job or when life inevitably brings its dents, dings, and scratches. “Maaco owners across North America have driven the brand’s reliable reputation because of their ability to relieve the inevitable stress that comes from automotive damage,” said Hannah Whitesides, vice president of marketing, Maaco.  Developed with Mythic, a full-service agency in Charlotte, NC, the campaign uses storytelling, an original song, and everyday “Uh-Oh” moments to remind consumers that thanks to Maaco, they can keep living on the upside no matter what life throws at them and their vehicles. The client-agency relationship includes strategy, creative and production. The TV commercial will run in 30- and 15-second formats on national and cable networks, with a long-form version on digital and social channels. The campaign will also incorporate national radio, print, social media, and digital advertising. The 2021 Maaco national advertising campaign elements are available on the Maaco YouTube channel. Mythic collaborated production company Supply & Demand, DuoTone Audio Group, and ODD for post-production to bring the vision and contagious feel to life.

Melissa is a talented, beautiful Latina that embodies this spirit of optimism. We are thrilled to bring her passion, energy, and point of view to life and celebrate her heritage that is such an important part of her identity,” states Michelle Freyre, Clinique Global General Manager. Melissa Barrera adds, “I am thrilled to be a new Global Ambassador for Clinique – an iconic brand the women in my family have loved for generations. As a skincare lover, I’m enjoying discovering the Clinique of today, especially because their products are all good for skin…even the makeup! But Clinique is more than just beauty products – I am proud to be a part of a brand that is led primarily by women. I am also deeply honored to be the first Latina representing the brand globally. Our culture is so multidimensional that one face could never be representative of the entire breadth of Latina beauty, but I’m thrilled to add my voice to this conversation – in both Spanish and English!” Barrera joins Emilia Clarke in this new role, and both women reflect the values of Clinique – as talented, bright, humanitarian women with bold, brave voices.
