Abbott, TSLA break the formula formula with vivid 'Happy World'

The spot for Similac Total Comfort, which launched last week, also includes a winking, flying teddy bear, a bubble-blowing monkey, fluffly clouds and rivers of milk.

“The milk formula category is cluttered with too much sameness, that it’s hard to tell one brand from another brand," said Kris Kam, planning director at TSLA. "This was an excellent creative opportunity to disrupt and push the category."

The campaign rolls out across-the-line, according to the agency, and includes a full shopper-marketing drive that will bring the 'Happy world' elements—including custom-made plush toys—into shops and supermarkets.

Illustrator FX Goby directed the TVC for London's Nexus Productions.
