An old-timey holiday campaign for See’s Candies, the beloved California classic :)

“Sharing is Caring” :15

“Family Tradition” :15

“Ode to Lolly” :15

“Stocking Stuffer” :15

We also photographed the candies in a series of festive geometric arrangements for OOH. Shot by Laurie Frankel and her team at the See’s studio in San Francisco.

In post, we compiled the photographs into stop motion videos for social content and static layouts for OOH.
