Verizon Oscars 2020

The Oscars is America's forum to celebrate beautiful storytelling. Against the backdrop of another year The Academy faced criticism of #OscarsSoWhite, we wanted to reflect diverse American stories. We cast a unique group of real Verizon customers with inspiring stories - and after 4 shooting days with "The King of the Super Bowl," these 7 spots were chosen by Verizon in a competitive pitch against another agency's work. For the 23 million people who watched the Oscars, our spots told the stories of those who too often get overlooked.
