For Aura's "What Are the Odds?" spot, we flipped the script on fear with a little help from Robert Downey Jr. He dives into the surprisingly high likelihood of online crime versus those classic, but statistically improbable, anxieties like plane crashes.
As VP of Creative at Aura, I teamed up with the awesome folks at Arnold Worldwide (Havas) to shepherd this from initial concept through the final cut, delivering a thought-provoking message in :60 online, and :30/:15 versions for TV and streaming.
