An integrated campaign stemming broadcast and web, Twinings “Gets You Back To You” utilizes over $7 million to deliver the brand message about how to take 10. According to their press release, which also offers a link to Charlene Soraia’s “Wherever You Will Go” track on iTunes, the campaign is a message of “reconnect(ing) with yourself.”

The spot stands out by appearing like a short film, void of the product until the very final frames. It may be no surprise that Psyop, the director/label behind this commercial, also made the Coca-Cola spot, “Happiness Factory.”
Commentary on the spot ranges from applause to jumping-the-shark. In terms of craftsmanship, Stu Maschwitz, a director who commented on the spot on Twitter, notes that “part of what makes this spot so gorgeous is the artistic choice of a low frame rate.” On the flip side, Martin Brinks, a 3D graphic artist, calls it “a pathetic and terrible eyesore” in the comment threads of Motionographer.
