This beautifully animated spot, created by Venables Bell + Partners and directed by Yves Geleyn through Hornet, captures the sustainable farming practices supported by the Mexican grill fast-food restaurant Chipotle.
Inspired by the company’s purpose to 'Cultivate a Better World', the ad, titled Unfolded, invites viewers into a whimsical, colourful world, diving into a Chipotle bag that unfolds into a paper town.
It sees industrial farms transformed into vibrant, polyculture farms with diverse and organic crops, visualising the brand's efforts to support farmers who prioritise sustainable agricultural practices.
The film premiered as a TVC and on Roblox, making Chipotle the first restaurant brand to unveil a national TV commercial in the metaverse.
