Paying homage to a city as iconic as New York is a formidable task, but Andy approaches it with a style that remarkably mirrors the city itself. Bursting with tireless energy, vibrant diversity, and organized chaos, Andy's animation captures the essence of New York—a metropolis teeming with a kaleidoscopic cast of characters that come and go almost as quickly as eye contact with a stranger on a New York City subway.
The spot thrives on multiple levels: the pun-filled hit theme song, the nostalgia-inducing concept of a two-decade bike ride down memory lane, and the animation that ties it all together. The animation excels through breathtaking character design and a beautiful expression of being in on the joke. Celebrating a city like New York demands an accurate portrayal of New Yorkers and a knowing wink that fosters a shared sense of community—a subtle affirmation that "we are, and always have been, in this together."
