Snickers' First Visitors ad taps into the fact that people have gotten used to living a certain way and the return to normal life may feel a bit foreign—and some misadventures are bound to happen. The new Snickers ad shares a scene that shows people preparing to welcome their friends back into their home yet there's a miscommunication when one half of a couple thinks that the event was meant to be a video call.
The ad emphasizes Snickers' messaging that people just aren't themselves when they're hungry and that they could use a Snickers, as the 15-second spot ends with "Maybe You Just Need A Snickers."
At a time when people are navigating new waters in all areas of their lives, brands are finding ways to make light of what has been a disruptive year.
