every step they can

01

The Challenge

Dairy Farmers of Canada wanted to share one sustainability story in a very short format. The ad had 25 seconds to raise a question, show real farm practices and land a message. There was no room for anything extra.

02

Our Solution

We built the ad around a single question and a simple answer: every step they can. Each beat shows one practice, from recycling silage bags and bale wrap to compacting plastic on the farm. The ad ends on the payoff, less plastic waste and a more sustainable future.
