At a time when people are looking for comfort and are feeling a sense of nostalgia for the world pre-pandemic, brands are recreating some of their most iconic advertisements entirely from home with simple tools—which has resulted in ads like TD Bank's Dance from Home.
As part of its Unexpectedly Human campaign, TD Bank unveiled an ad called Dancer set to the tune of Rhythm Is A Dancer that showed a bank employee cutting loose. Now, TD Bank is revisiting one of its most popular ad spots with Dance from Home, which was shot on an iPhone 11 Pro inside actor Julian Rozzell Jr.'s house. Obviously, the 15-second ad is not set in the bank but it conveys the ease of banking from absolutely anywhere by using mobile solutions.
