Cadbury Dairy Milk Drumming Gorilla Advert

[@benronald]

My favourite advert as a kid. Love how the gorilla has nothing to do with the chocolate

You all did an amazing job, this is still an incredible piece of animatronic, filmed and lit so beautifully that 13 years later I'd still regard it as one of the best short film puppetry pieces ever made. But more importantly for an advert agency, the song choice, non contextual setting etc help keep it forever relevant and effective as marketing. Bringing all of us back just to have a look at an amazing advert. Thank you

[@ci95w]

The guy pitching this ad got to be a genius.

[@markguzewski5430]

Cadbury rejected this ad for 6 months but the guy producing it just didn't give up. Finally, in desperation due to low sales, they let it air. I think it played during the super bowl, and as you probably know, it was a huge international hit.

[@Tomwindram]

​@markguzewski5430 incorrect, it was when cadburys was dropped from every sponsorship due to the salmonella scandal in 2006-2007 so they came back with this simple advert to say "we are still here and here's a bar of chocolate" which got everyone thinking "what's a gorilla on a drums got to do with a bar of chocolate"? And it got it everyone's heads and before u know it cadburys was on your mind

IMAGINE the pitch for this ad! It doesn't make *any* sense, and doesn't have anything to do with chocolate. But some executive said "OK sure". ...And it was the best decision anyone has ever made in the history of mankind.

[@danielbronks4234]

The truth is the cadbury executives hated it and said it would never go on air. It took 4 months of effort from the head of the ad agency to persuade them. I shot the ad, everyone on the set knew it the director's idea was genius. We film ads all the time and they rarely excite you on set. It works on the simplest level and the most complex. Now ad people don't understand this, they are brand and marketing and virtue signaling obsessed and risk averse.The first time you see it, it's a perfect moment. Now the brand is associated with that good feeling.
