KITCHEN
SITUATIONSHIP

Plenty Kitchen Situationship

Client: AMV BBDO
Brand: Plenty
Type: Branded Content,
Service: Direction, design, animation, VFX

We partnered with AMV BBDO to create a campaign for Plenty that taps into a familiar tension in everyday life: the quiet standoff between the messy and the tidy.

At its core, the idea is simple. The people we live with are often the ones we love most, and the ones who drive us mad. The film leans into that truth, starting with warm, recognisable moments before letting small spills and irritations spiral into full-blown chaos. It’s a dynamic Plenty is perfectly placed to resolve.

Our role was to bring that escalation to life in a way that felt heightened, memorable, and distinctly ownable. Rather than depicting mess realistically, we pushed it into something more expressive, using generative AI and hybrid production techniques to amplify the scale, texture, and absurdity of everyday spills.

This approach allowed us to turn a functional product story into something more fun and engaging. The mess becomes a character in its own right, building tension and comedy while reinforcing Plenty’s role as the solution.

“There is a central visual concept to this – Start with an idyllic view of the ones we love, then obscure it with the claustrophobic intrusion of spills and muck.

We purposefully chose to break the visual harmony of these relationships with the instability of chaotic mess as it frenetically takes over.”

Carl Addy, Director & ECD, Mayda
A key addition was the “therapist” teabag, introduced during the edit as a calm, knowing presence observing the chaos. It gives the film a point of view, adding warmth and humor, as we hear from our discarded guru, nestled amongst the recycled trash, having witnessed every mess and argument .

Typography played a similar role. Inspired by lyric videos, the words evolve into suspended, food-based visuals, creating moments of poetic beauty just before everything tips back into chaos.

The result is a campaign that takes a universal insight and expresses it in a way that’s visually bold, playful, and built to be distinctive and stand out. By leaning into craft and emerging tools in service of a clear idea and simple universal insight, we helped turn a simple product truth into something a film that people can recognise, enjoy, and remember.
