DDB California and Wells Fargo's new holiday campaign that celebrates the magic of the season and tradition of gift giving. The campaign just launched and includes “The Stagecoach and the Snowmen,” a spot with :60 and :30 versions, and one Out-of-Home. Both the spot and OOH feature a newly created holiday tag line, “Wishing you a magical holiday.”
From its beginnings, Wells Fargo rushed customers’ important business by any means - steamship, railroad, and, where the railroads ended, by stagecoach. The Wells Fargo stagecoach returns in this year’s holiday campaign providing the reliability and trust it has been known for throughout the years.
After a delivery truck is derailed into a snow bank, a beautiful Wells Fargo stagecoach, appears to transport festively wrapped gifts to a town isolated by thick layers of snow. By taking the road less traveled, the horses are greeted by a hospitable family of snowmen who offer them a bite to eat. The steeds continue on their expedition until arriving at their destination - a snow-covered town full of smiling children.
