Heavy Duty continues to raid the Mattel toy box! The new brand campaign for Hot Wheels cinematically depicts how there are lessons to be learned from failure, and play can be a perfect safe space for this introduction.

Thank you to SMUGGLER and BBH USA for bringing us along for the ride. Original score by Heavy Duty’s Sean Fitzgerald.
