Cannes Shortlist
We couldn’t outspend the Super Bowl.
So we outpaced it.
While competitors fought for attention during the game, we turned every car in every Super Bowl ad into a Cars.com listing opportunity.
We mapped every vehicle across every ad, then used those moments to redirect audiences from brand storytelling to actual car shopping.
Turning the Super Bowl into The Big Match.
How does a 100-year-old appliance brand show up in fashion?
We stopped treating KitchenAid like a kitchen brand—and put it where design actually gets judged.
At New York Fashion Week.
KitchenAid Kitchen Couture turned stand mixers into runway pieces, reframing utility as something worth looking at, not just using.
1.4B impressions in 24 hours
200% increase in website traffic
#1 appliance brand at NYFW

What if a Facebook Live wasn’t a livestream—but a telethon for burgers?
To celebrate National Burger Day, we turned McDonald’s into a live art and entertainment event where improv artist Bevin “painted” the Big Mac and Quarter Pounder with Cheese while talking through them like they were cultural icons.
The stream played like a modern telethon—part performance, part conversation—with Bevin responding to live viewer comments in real time.
When the paintings were complete, they were auctioned on eBay, with 100% of proceeds going to Ronald McDonald House Charities.
Here's a quick overview of the show!
We teased the live event across the major social media channels.
Here's the 51 minute livestream. Best grab some popcorn.
Hallmark had a branding problem: it had become the category.
People weren’t just buying Hallmark cards—they were calling all greeting cards “Hallmark.”
So the brand was disappearing inside the category it created.
We created “Backstories.”
Instead of advertising greeting cards, we told the real emotional stories behind why people give them—moments of love, memory, and connection that naturally lead people to Hallmark.
Each story was designed to reconnect emotion back to the brand in the moment it mattered most.
We also built a simple behavioral cue into the experience—encouraging people to look at the back of the card, where the Hallmark logo lives—turning recognition into a natural part of the emotional payoff.
Because if Hallmark owned the feeling, it could reclaim the name.
“Love is outta-this-world cool. And the one thing we all have in common is how different our love is…”
That was the thought behind this Valentine’s Day spot.
These are all real people. In real relationships. With real backstories.
Every city has its quiet heroes. The men and women who experience Holiday joy from the steering wheel of a cop car, in the rushed halls of a hospital, or straddled to a fire truck. Let’s show these unsung heroes a little appreciation by reuniting them with the people they saved.
These are all real stories.
Moms don’t always know Capri Sun is made without artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.
But kids don’t try to inform—they try to get attention.
So instead of talking to parents directly, we let kids do what they already do best: anything extreme enough to make a parent look up.
From chaotic stunts to “this might be a problem” behavior, the message always lands the same way:
Capri Sun has no artificial stuff.
In a world where nothing stays in Vegas, we leaned into it.
The Cosmopolitan already lived at the intersection of luxury and mischief—so we turned that behavior into a social system built for sharing.
Across always-on content and activations, we highlighted the hotel’s “Just the Right Amount of Wrong” personality—turning moments inside the property into things people wanted to post, not just experience.
The goal wasn’t awareness. It was making The Cosmopolitan one of the most Instagrammed hotels in the world.
We reimagined a GameStop store as a playable world.
Built from the ground up in cardboard, the mock store let us prototype a retail experience people could move through like a game.
To guide the journey, we created Tag, short for Battle Tag: an AI assistant that acted as both navigator and character, adding humor, personality, and direction along the way.
The result felt less like shopping and more like stepping into the GameStop universe.
This is a collection of product-focused ads created for a range of product launches.
While more direct in concept, the focus here is on craft—using motion, camera language, and pacing to make product stories feel sharp, intentional, and visually compelling.
Techniques include match cuts, crash zooms, motion control, locked-off compositions, and other approaches that let the product lead the story without losing visual energy.
Cars.com asked us to rethink how people talk about finding a car online.
So we treated car shopping like modern dating.
“We Met on Cars.com” reframed online car search as a better kind of meet-cute: more information, better matches, fewer surprises.
The skippable YouTube ads earned a 97% completion rate, and YouTube used them as an example of how to keep people watching.
Work created inside one of the most recognizable brand systems in the world.
Across these spots, the job was to find small human moments, and make them feel unmistakably McDonald’s through writing, performance, and craft..
Note: “Dad Hours” was originally created by another team, and later updated by ours.
Finding the perfect gift for someone you love doesn’t feel like shopping—it feels like a win.
We built a seasonal campaign around that moment of emotional payoff, positioning Kohl’s as the place where people don’t just buy gifts—they get them right.
Everything reinforced a simple idea: the real joy of gifting isn’t the product, it’s the feeling of nailing it.
Gold National Addy
We turned creativity into a care tool.
Brighten is an app designed to help kids navigate long-term hospital stays by using drawing as a way to track mood, express emotion, and stay engaged throughout treatment.
Built around the Crayola brand, the experience transforms something kids already love into a system that supports both creativity and well-being.
Because when it comes to kids, how they draw often says more than what they say.
Semifinalist
We built a Super Bowl idea with no budget, and it still made it to the semifinals.
Created as part of Doritos’ Crash the Super Bowl, the spot leaned on a simple concept and strong execution to compete alongside agency-backed work.
Produced entirely with the help of classmates, local talent, and whatever resources we could get our hands on, it was a lesson in making something work without waiting for the perfect setup.
Still one of my favorite examples of turning constraints into momentum.
Champion a Cause Challenge, 2nd Place
Cyberbullying doesn’t leave bruises—but it can still be lethal.
So we made it visible in a place built to detect threats.
Laptops, phones, tablets—reframed not as harmless objects, but as tools capable of real harm when used the wrong way.
A simple shift in context that made an invisible problem feel visible.
Created for the Champion a Cause Creative Challenge, where TSA bins were the only available medium.
