NEW WORK! 🎉
We teamed up with our friends at Happy Madison Productions, US Bank, Netflix, and the all-star creatives at BarkleyOKRP to bring you “Happy As Usual” — a 30-second hero spot that drops us right into the US Bank universe…with a Happy Gilmore 2 twist. 🏦⛳️
Directed by the one-and-only Frank Coraci () and produced by Anthony Hartman (), this shoot was a full-court VFX press: celebrity talent was filmed entirely on greenscreen in Las Vegas and then composited into our US Bank branch location in Los Angeles. (Shout out to our post team for the wizardry. 🔥)
The spot features cameos from pro golf champ Collin Morikawa, the legendary Verne Lundquist, and fictional fan-favorite Jack Beard (played by Happy Madison’s own Jack Giarraputo).
🚀 Running across NBC, ESPN, Netflix, Meta, YouTube, and Snapchat, with additional social spots featuring Morikawa, “Happy As Usual” marks US Bank’s first partnership with Netflix—and one hell of a crossover event.
