Death Wish Coffee Co. Wins Intuit's Contest and Will Air This Ad on Super Bowl 50

Well, we predicted it. Death Wish Coffee Co. has won Intuit QuickBooks' annual "Small Business, Big Game" contest and will get to air a commercial on Super Bowl 50—the only small business advertising nationally on the Feb. 7 telecast.

Intuit's agency, RPA, created the spot, which you can see below. It presents an eye-catching scene of fierce Vikings on stormy seas as a metaphor for the strong coffee's powerful punch.

Prettybird's Isaiah Seret directed it; Oscar winner Claudio Miranda (Life of Pi) was the cinematographer. Irish actor Diarmaid Murtagh plays the lead role. MPC New York handled visual effects.



"It's incredibly gratifying to create a Super Bowl spot for a small business—the unsung heroes of the communities where we live and work every day," RPA chief creative officer Joe Baratelli said in a statement. "And Death Wish Coffee has an incredible brand personality and a great team driving the company. We were able to create a spectacle of Vikings sailing to battle to show off the fiercely caffeinated coffee and ultimately help QuickBooks with its mission of fueling small business success."

The spot will air during the third quarter.
