Lucas Shannon Directs DoorDash Campaign Out of Stein

DoorDash Ads integrate seamlessly, like invited guests, in this slice-of-life campaign, produced by LANDIA US. Shot with rhythm and affection for the characters, the four spots, , were helmed by award-winning director Lucas Shannon out of agency Stein.

Elevated with humor, while remaining grounded in reality, they feature the small impulses, spontaneous cravings, and tiny human moments that lead to choosing DoorDash, a solution that understands and responds to our idiosyncratic behavior in real time.

A woman talks about deserving a treat, unaware that her cat thinks the same. A dad behaves like a travel planning god while forgetting the one thing that matters most. Two coworkers talk about dinner plans they both know will never happen. An intern turns one harmless idea into a full office collapse.

These recognizable little truths are relayed simply, yet cinematically, with graphics playing their own comedic role. The humor finds the absurdity in everyday life, with the joke coming from the disparity between what people think, what they say, and what they ultimately do.
