Intuit Inc. went with a famous nursery rhyme character for its 2017 Super Bowl Ad. This year's Super Bowl ads have started to appear online ahead of the upcoming game between the Falcons and Patriots. Humpty Dumpty stars in the ad directed by Ivan Zacharias.
Intuit says in the announcement, "The series playfully sheds light on Humpty Dumpty's story, highlighting the world's most-famous egg's taxes. Everyone knows Humpty Dumpty, but no one knows why he was on the wall or what happens after the fall."
The ad was developed in partnership with independent advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy.
