No matter how you say it, it’s always Hello.
Earlier this year when we were awarded a Folabi Impact Award, we pondered ways to best use some of its allotted marketing dollars. Our mantra when it comes to any part of our business is Find Talented People and Let Them Cook, so we got Ben Ward and colinsrichards on the horn and told them we were entertaining the idea of making Hello’s first proper commercial. They came back with a lovely idea and spent the summer shooting these scenes in the margins of their days.
It’s a simple concept. A short ode to all the ways we greet each other. Whether you’re waving to a fellow cyclist on Rist Canyon in the early hours of the morning, savoring a hug from a friend you haven’t seen in a long while, greeting Northern Colorado from the KRFC 88.9 FM booth, or grabbing a b**r with a buddy, every Hello means so much more than Hello. Small acknowledgements such as these may seem trivial, but they soften us and strengthen us at the same time.
Chances are you’ll be seeing this on the gram and in a couple spots around town for the next few months. We hope it’s a nice reminder to say hi to your fellow person, maybe even invite them down to 405 Linden for a b**r.
One other way to say Hello? Cheers 🍻
