Santa Monica, CA; Minneapolis -Shortly after the launch of the New York office; the east coast team of HiFi Project collaborated closely with The Acme Idea Company on the new, holiday commercial, The Magic Truck, for Duracell. HiFi, along with Creative Director Scott Kulok and Art Director Eric Weigeshoff of Acme Idea and Director Marcus Nispel of Tool, created the new joyous holiday campaign for energy giant Duracell. Duracell has teamed up with Hasbro to power up smiles for Toys for Tots this holiday season.

Working with and for Toys for Tots was a phenomenal experience for us at the agency, says Creative Director/Writer Scott Kulok. They truly are the most beloved organization out there, and we were thrilled to put this new holiday commercial project together for them. We assembled an incredible team. For the music, HiFi Project just inundated us with so many choices; it was hard to make the final decision. We are thrilled with the original score. It really makes the spot.

According to HiFi Project Partner/Executive Producer Jack Bradley, the newly launched New York office pulled out all the stops for this project. Garth [Neustadter, the lead composer] did a masterful job of articulating the vision that the Acme team and Marcus wanted, using live orchestral warmth, but with a contemporary twist, to create that classic feeling of holiday magic,' explains Bradley. It was a delicate balancing act between Jeff Bridges voice over, the sound of the toys coming to life, and the music, but he pulled it off beautifully.

Bill Grein, VP, Marketing & Development for Marine Toys for Tots Foundation, also a Major, U.S. Marine Corps (Retired), was part of the creative process from the beginning. He says he is thrilled by the professional team that came together for this touching, new commercial. It really shows the true spirit of the season and our organization, which will provide over 7 million toys to less fortunate children this year, concludes Grein. As for the music, we felt that it was the perfect score which really demonstrates the magic of giving and the holiday season.
