HBO - Defiant Ones - Digital Video, OOH

Copywriter, GCD, Translation

HBO’s The Defiant Ones documents the extraordinary lives of Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine, fulfilling their uniquely American dreams. Fans know their story, so we needed a new way in.

We asked our audience to consider the many barriers these men and their cohort have broken, and what music and culture might be like if they hadn’t.

Copywriter, Creative Director, R/GA

Never there for you. Broken promises. Doesn't respect your needs. Yup, relationships with cable companies are dysfunctional. Verizon wants you to end this toxic relationship, and hook up with a more reliable provider.

MTN DEW - Dew Stories - Digital Video

During Covid, MTN DEW asked us to capture the attention of Gen Z. We found insights that this generation experiences “anemoia”, a feeling of nostalgia for an era they never actually lived through. We created a series of animated stories with a soundtrack that taps directly into these feelings.

Digital Streaker - Platform

Copywriter, Creative Director, R/GA

The annual Super Bowl advertising obsession is frustrating. Rarely do clients have six million bucks for thirty seconds of broadcasting. Digital Streaker challenged the status quo by giving smaller brands a chance to get attention during the big game.

Popsicle - It's Not Summer - Digital Video, Broadcast

Copywriter, GCD, Story

Popsicle isn’t complicated. But sometimes it’s good to remind a client like Popsicle who they are, and give them the confidence to have a little fun. I mean, it’s summer, it’s hot outside, and you make flavored ice. Guess what, guys? You’ve already won.
