Reggie Watts yodels, raps, hangs with woodland fauna, floats on a giant leaf and generally goofs around in a quartet of new videos from Greenpeace.
The environmental group is sending a message to certain tech giants about using sustainable energy sources. "Some of the Internet's biggest and most innovative companies, such as Apple, Facebook and Google, are powering with modern, renewable energy," Greenpeace rep Dave Pomerantz told BusinessGreen. "The #ClickClean movement expects the rest of the companies behind our online world, like Amazon and Twitter, to join them."
No firms are named in the ads, which were created by The VIA Agency.
"We set out to develop a campaign that had humor at its core and that people would rally behind and share," said Via executive producer Mary Hanifin. "Reggie’s unique brand of comedy, devoted following and ability to convey complex themes through humor made him a perfect fit."
The comedian and musician has some experience with the clean-power issue, having contributed to a Climate Reality Project spot last year. For Greenpeace—fresh off its gorgeous ad attacking Lego for partnering with Shell—Watts sustains a tone that gives the material an offbeat, non-judgmental spark. He uses improvisation to amp up the scripts, and his silly, slightly subversive comic energy feels just right.
