OpenTable-
Find a Restaurant

Commercials
2026

We've taken a seat with OpenTable, everyone's favourite restaurant discovery platform, to create their 2026 brand campaign. In a space dominated by food photos and happy people cheers-ing, OpenTable was willing to take a big swing on animation, focusing instead on the reasons we gather and the feelings it creates when we do, all wrapped in an overtly hand-made approach like a great meal. Anyone for nice mussels?
