In 2020, Adidas launched the ultimate content platform and marketplace: Adidas Confirmed. We built a content engine to deliver tailored content to the Adidas community, promoting the Confirmed App and driving over 10 million downloads across 7 markets: Canada, Mexico, Japan, USA, UAE, China, Brazil.

 

This process focused on developing original content, creative and elevating existing franchises to engage their audience through entertainment, experiences and technology.

Case Study:
Our Next Energy

Founded in 2020, Our Next Energy (ONE) established itself as an important player in the automotive technology and renewable energy space in less than 3 years. 

 

In addition to breakthrough technology, our team crafted an industry-shaping transmedia narrative— told through content, news and design— breaking through the automotive category and into the cultural conversation.

Aries Grid Product Launch

CAMPAIGN

In early 2023, Our Next Energy decided to move into the stationary storage arena, essentially building giant batteries to support solar farms, grid stabilization and zero-emission backup generators to decarbonize the grid. 

But there was one tiny problem: we didn't have a name, a design or any product messaging. So we set out to fix that.

Travelers Insurance

BRANDED DOCUMENTARY

In this heart-wrenching campaign, Rachel Tso recounts the day that her three-year-old son was struck and killed by a distracted driver, right before her eyes. The distracted driving campaign came to life as a film, social campaign and comic book.

Since this was just the beginning of the partnership, we needed to fully design the battery platform and vehicle chassis. We went to work, designing a battery that would stand out from the crowd, but also fall in line with BMW’s identity.

 

After designing the product, we crafted a creative platform ‘rewriting the rules of range’, CGI animations, hero film and digital strategy, promoting the collaboration and breaking down our technology. 

 

The result was great: our creative was featured in Car and Driver, Motortrend, Jalopnik, Fox Business News and more.

A 20 FT Slim Jim!

SOCIAL CONTENT

To launch the ‘Long Boi Gang’ Slim Jim product, we created the largest Slim Jim of all time, The Longest Boi. This stunt and interactive campaign took new York City by surprise, and was featured on @subwaycreatures. 

In addition to the ‘Longest Boi’ viral stunt, I led creative and production for Slim Jim original content, helping the brand cross the 1MM follower mark on Instagram.

TD Bank

CAMPAIGN

It was the middle of the COVID era and TD Bank wanted a way to encourage their customers to shop locally and support small businesses. So we asked, what would it look like to have a masked Santa shopping at his favorite local stores in Brooklyn this year?
