New York and Portland, OR-based Search Party Music depicts school teachers as wonderfully endearing and enthusiastic about the upcoming school year in a back-to-school campaign for Target out of Wieden+Kennedy, Portland. The spots include “Music Teacher”, scored by composer Eric Stamile adaptating Billy Ocean’s song “Caribbean Dreams”,  and “Second Grade Teacher”, featuring a piano cue from composer Dan Muffson. Hungry Man’s Wayne McClammy directed the campaign, which playfully illustrates the theme, “School Takes a Lot. Target Has It All.”
