State Farm "This is a Nightmare!" :30 (USA)

Continuing State Farm's "Right Kind of Magic" campaign–the brand’s biggest 360 campaign launch in three years-- comes this highly entertaining spot featuring a couple, a tree, and a nightmare creature who dismisses their nightmare as being an easily remedied situation. How? By singing the State Farm jingle, of course.

I really like the nightmare creature. Goes from screaming a demonic "Do it" to conducting the couple as they sing-- in fear. Good stuff. But also subtly strategic too, in the sense that it suggests a State Farm representative will show up in as little time it takes to sing "Like a Good neighbor, State Farm is there."

See kids, you don't always have to beat someone over the head with an RTB.
