Description:
To make things harder: Michael isn't on social media. So we “leaked” four hero influencer videos to spark a global debate. For four-weeks, the skincare conspiracy was front and center in culture. Which resulted in 15.4B impression BEFORE CeraVe's first ever “Perfect” (TODAY) Super Bowl Commercial, directed by comedy legends Tim and Eric, revealed the truth. The “ultra prolonged ultra meta” campaign elevated CeraVe into a cultural icon.
Michael Cera is a cult favorite actor known for Juno, Arrested Development, and “Allan” in Barbie. He plays unassuming, awkward and lovable characters. Cera doesn’t fit the typical beauty spokesperson (Rihana, Selena Gomez...) or have any social media. But his famously youthful face, shared name with CeraVe, and mild manner made him the perfect unexpected antagonist to get everyone talking.
