Aubrey Plaza is an American actress, producer, and comedian recognized for her versatile performances across film and television, appealing to a wide range of audiences and brands.
Cointreau and Plaza launched the witty "Any Tequila" campaign and later reprised the "MargaRight" campaign. The "Any Tequila" campaign was a satirical take on celebrity-endorsed products, promoting Cointreau as the essential ingredient for margaritas by creating a fictional brand with Plaza as its face.
Plaza starred in MilkPEP's "Wood Milk" campaign, introducing a fictional alternative milk product. The campaign satirized the often over-the-top marketing of plant-based milks, with Plaza fronting the humorous 'milked wood' brand to promote traditional dairy milk.
Plaza reunited with her 'Parks and Recreation' co-star Nick Offerman for a Mountain Dew ad that aired during the Super Bowl LVIII broadcast.
