The Campaign

Two friends named Charles, get ready for new year's eve ... and they were in store for an evening full of surprises.

Creative Execution

To wish a Happy New Year in 2015, the agency decided to move behind the camera and produce an unprecedented holiday greeting format: a 15-minute short film brought to life from an original idea and script written by the Co-President of the agency, in charge of Creation. 'Happy New Year Charles!' is a tongue-in-cheek, slightly dark comedy dedicated to Charles Denner (actor), Charles Gerard (actor and director), and Charles-Louis Havas, whose namesake company is celebrating its 180th anniversary this year. Starring famous french actors in France the film was directed by a director which directed lots of others films with an original soundtrack created for this film.
