Bacardi Liberates a Caribbean Town from the Shackles of Instagram's Boomerang

Break free for the summer

Summer’s in the air, and with it, cold drinks, filmy cotton and tanned limbs. Just in time, for client Bacardi, BBDO New York gives us “Break Free,” a wild take on Instagram’s Boomerang feature.

Boomerang lets you create super-short videos that do exactly what they sound like. They’re GIF-like, looped scenes that, while fun to watch, sometimes ring like a metaphor for life—every day lived in an endless loop.

“Break Free” brings us to a small Caribbean town where people don’t just live on loop; they move on loop, and they’re itching to break free.
