Sep. 03, 2019

Whether it’s your first violin solo at a school recital or your first performance in a sold out concert hall, American Express wants to let you know that they’re “Right Behind You.” Prettybird Director Max Malkin offers a unique perspective for agency McGarryBowen, with pivotal moments in people’s lives woven together by Cut+Run Editor Gary Knight. An evocative instrumental reimagining of Brandi Carlile’s emotional track “The Joke” is the perfect match for the anthem spot. As the music swells and reaches its final crescendo, the message is clear: from doing what you love, to following your dreams, to life’s most precious moments, American Express has your back.
