A Rundown Of (Pretty Much) Every Ad Tech Deal Of 2025
If you want a cheat sheet for where adtech money is actually flowing, follow the M&A breadcrumbs in one sitting.
This might be the smartest reframe of âeating betterâ Iâve ever seen:
You can watch the full ad here:
The Intermarché video ad is a charming animated story following animals in a winter forest.
A lonely wolf watches other forest animals celebrate together from a distance.
The animation style is warm and storybook-like, with soft lighting and cozy holiday atmospheres.
We see the wolfâs journey from isolation to acceptance, culminating in a heartwarming Christmas dinner scene where all the animals gather around a shared table laden with colorful dishes.
The narrative unfolds through dialogue between the wolf and a hedgehog, who suggests that the wolf would have more friends if he didnât hunt them all.
Confused, the wolf asks, âHow do you hunt vegetables?â
As the story progresses, he learns to prepare plant-based and fish dishes, eventually bringing his creation to the forestâs Christmas dinner (youâll just have to watch it to get the full experience đœïž).
The video ends with the tagline: We all have a reason to eat better.
The ad works because it reframes dietary change as a pathway to belonging rather than deprivation.
Instead of lecturing about health or sustainability, the ad taps into something universally human: the desire to be included and loved.
The wolfâs isolation isnât solved by changing who he is fundamentally â heâs still a wolf â but by changing his habits in a way that lets others feel safe around him.
Itâs a disarming metaphor for how our food choices affect our relationships and communities, wrapped in a story so emotionally resonant that the âeat betterâ message feels like a natural conclusion rather than a sales pitch.
The genius is making vegetables the hero of connection, not nutrition.
The best product benefit isnât what it does for you⊠itâs who it lets you become.
Intermarché shows us that the promise of acceptance can motivate change more powerfully than fear or facts ever could.
ReSimple takes the opposite approach⊠they accept you upfront and trust you'll live up to the person they believe you are.
