FATHERHOOD #DADICATION

THE REALNESS: Harnessing human-centered research to create real cultural change.
New research showed us that active fathers raise happier, more successful kids. So we created a documentary short film to celebrate active fathers and encourage fellow dads to be more present for their kids too.

FOLLOW SANTA

FOREVER L.A.

THE REALNESS: Building brand love by celebrating the culture that shapes it.

THE CURRENCY OF CURRENCY

THE REALNESS: Getting smart about new media to topple the status quo.
Old money is problematic AF, and Coin Cloud was ready to take it on. So we partnered with fearless film legend Spike Lee to show old money the door and usher in the new age of digital currency.

#FREEDOMMACHINE UNBOXING

THE REALNESS: Hacking traditional media with buzzworthy influencer partnerships.
It was time for Harley-Davidson to reach the next wave of riders — the disruptors, the rebels, the mavericks. So when it came time to launch their new line of bikes, we knew the traditional route wouldn’t cut it.

STACK THE DECK AGAINST HATE

THE REALNESS: Using our cultural and creative chops to make a positive impact.
Thanks to always-on social listening and a zero-tolerance policy for hate, we caught wind of bad bills and partnered with trans athletes to turn that hateful legislation into empowering inspiration for trans kids.

TEQUILA SELTZER LAUNCH

THE REALNESS: Using fresh audience insights to differentiate in a crowded category.
Hard seltzer already has a very specific (and very white) fanbase, leaving other groups out of the loop. So we helped Ahora find authentic ways to connect with a broader audience for their Chicago brand launch.

MORE THAN JUST A CASINO

THE REALNESS: Highlighting the real Detroit experience with exclusive TV spots.
MotorCity Casino Hotel’s newest campaign "More Than Just a Casino" showcases the hotel's range of entertainment options far beyond gaming. The work has attracted guests back to the floor and hotel and we're on a roll with new work coming soon.

PROTECT YOUR KINGDOM

THE REALNESS: Reinvigorating a legacy brand for an evolving marketplace.
Mutual of Omaha needed to be relevant to a new generation, so we got to work by refining their logo, refreshing their identity, and going to market with a multichannel awareness and performance campaign.
