Nest's new campaign aims to help make houses homes, and does this with an [emotional ad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-lewis-2025) that highlights the [simple moments that make life beautiful](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-the-possibilities).

The ad is set to the tune of Phillip Phillips' 'Home' and features a series of short but relatable clips that spotlight different family dynamics and stories. Some of these moments include a small child putting makeup on her father, a couple sharing a kiss while brushing their teeth, two women celebrating a birthday over Facetime, birthday parties, tears, messes, births, deaths and more.

Every moment is equally touching as the ad represents the [rebranding of Google Nest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-pixel-ad) to a device that seamlessly integrates into the home.
