Have you heard the latest from JT & AK?
Have you heard? When Spotify wanted to bring their promise of 100 million songs to Kenya, they were looking for something – and someone – extraordinary. Instead they got two: Spitfire Directors JT and AK.
And what a combination. Each of them brought the collective power of their unique creative strengths to the commercial. JT his talent and passion for all things music. AK his time-tested skill and experienced eye for detail. Both, their love of storytelling and bold, eye-catching locations.
Fast paced with a large cast, a dynamic wardrobe and sets, and with a healthy helping of street-cool humour, Spotify’s “Have You Heard” commercial grooves along at a rate guaranteed to get everyone’s feet moving and fingers tapping – on their Spotify app. With work this fresh and a hundred million songs, how could they not? Contact Spitfire now to get your board moving too.
