Oreo's 'The Fair' ad aims to offer a breath of fresh air during a time of political and social unrest in America. With a simple message of unity and togetherness, this ad, which arrives days before the U.S election, is set to run officially at an upcoming NFL game.
The ad takes place at an abandoned fair ground, where a small kitten is looking for something to eat. After letting out a sad meow, the kitten catches the attention of a stuffed elephant and a stuffed elephant and a stuffed donkey. Initially, the two now-living stuffed toys fight over the milk, but quickly realize they need to come together for the sake of the distressed kitten.
