Autodesk
Pre-pro, production and post for Autodesk University hype video shot on location at the Venetian convention center in Las Vegas. Video included attendee interviews, general session, expo hall and awards show coverage. It ran at the Day 2 general session and will be used in future marketing materials.
Meta Social Impact Instagram account launch and Reels
The account was launched in the fall of 2022 to demonstrate to non-profits how to create and use Reels effectively. We partnered with Hey Beautiful Jerk and worked with nonprofit creators to explain how they used Reels to reach their followers. We created enough content to post 2-3x per week. (We grew the account to about 17K followers organically prior to the latest round of layoffs. Sadly Meta changed focus and deleted the account.)
Social Impact website
The old site was outdated and was not flexible enough for the content the team wanted to include. The goal of the site was to educate non-profits about how best to use all of Meta's tools including those on Facebook, Instagram and What’sApp to increase followers, donations, volunteers and awareness of their causes. We created step by step guides and presentations to help grow and expand their social support and how to troubleshoot issues. This was a custom build on Meta’s CMS.

Make a Masterpiece
Award: Yellow Pencil / Crafts for Advertising / Animation & Illustration for Digital Marketing / 2017
“Make a Masterpiece” challenged four digital artists to take lost masterpieces by Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Kahlo and Vermeer and re-create them using only Adobe Stock images. The result was re-creations of lost masterpieces—made from thousands of stock photos—that could pass for the originals. When creatives explored these masterpieces, they saw that they could use Adobe Stock without ever leaving Photoshop, so they could work with stock images in a brand-new way and create something amazing.
The “Make a Masterpiece” online experience was housed at adobestockmasterpiece.com. Visitors could click on each masterpiece to view the individual stock images used, and use the icons to see specific stock-photography layers. It showed creatives every Photoshop layer it took to re-create each masterpiece. There they saw not just stock images but what those stock images could become with Adobe Stock.

Intel
Website development, contest content management, paid media campaign
'What Lives Inside' is a social film for Dell + Intel directed by Robert Stromberg and starring JK Simmons, Colin Hanks, & Catherine O' Hara that aired on Hulu. This year’s social component involved Stromberg inviting the public to collaborate with him to complete the film by submitting character sketches for potential inclusion in the film. Of over 6,000 submissions 144 were selected by Stromberg to be integrated into the film. We built a corresponding website to house the trailer, information about each episode, submitted character art and partner information. There was also a corresponding social media campaign and regular Facebook updates to keep followers involved in the series.

Meow Mix website build out to promote products and ‘It’s Meow Time’ contest
This year’s campaign had consumers submit videos of them singing Meow Mix’s iconic jingle with their cats for a chance to win a trip to Hollywood to be a part of a Meow Mix music video. There was also a section to make your own remix from existing commercials in case you didn’t have a cat to make your own video with.

Superbowl Youtube experience and site specific paid media campaign
In the 24 hours following the 2014 Super Bowl, we hacked YouTube's masthead to allow for increased viewer engagement with our Volkswagen Super Bowl spot. The INTERNET-IFIER 5000 created “internet-ified” versions of our spot (babies, cats and sharks - oh my). Through clever use of flash overlays, each view of different versions counted towards the original film’s view count, which topped 18 million.
Electronic Arts
Streaming website, 7 day event and talent management, social and paid media production
The 'Let's All be Mayor' campaign spanned seven days and allowed aspiring SimCity gamers to watch a live stream play of the unreleased game as 2 comedians, Chris Yule and Bob Brindley, discussed build options and features of the game. Then followers were able to vote on the creation and fates of various structures and SimCities created that day. Twitch existed at the time but was not what it is today so we worked with Stink Digital to build a website where to live stream the day’s 4 hours of play, and when registered, visitors could participate in the voting. We also posted clips from each day’s play and poll questions to social media and translated all polls into 5 different languages. The gameplay was streamed by use of Live Stream and used Cloudfront CDN to reach the global markets.
Del Monte
Website build to promote and inform visitors about the contest to win $5000 and a year’s worth of dog food, also included information about Kibbles ‘n Bits varieties.
Scoop Away
Social and paid media production
We partnered with Lunch Studios to create claymation animations of the adventures of Clumpy and Crumbly and turned them into a successful Facebook campaign. We launched a one stop comic shop to hang with the ambassadors of the Scoop Away Brand. Clumpify Yourself enabled users to create their own Clump, with literally thousands of combinations and 4 backgrounds to choose from. Users could also play a slew of games which extended from the latest round of stop motion fun, from hitting the Pinata, completing a Skating routine and even battling zombie Clumps!
PineSol
Website and paid media production
Clorox wanted to rebuild their old flash site to update to HTML. The site included product information, cleaning tips, coupons, brand history and the new Scent Sister’s creative to promote the new Pine Sol cleaning products.
Hidden Valley Ranch
Social video content, unique paid media placements
We partnered with Kaboom Productions, directed and edited by Matt Fackrell, to create a video series Hidden Valley for Everything. The campaign launched with a homepage takeover of Buzzfeed that included a 90 second video of two guys, dressed as a bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch and ketchup, fighting and doing dance offs around San Francisco.
Slim Jim
Spicy Town website
The old site was dated and needed to be refreshed without the costs associated with a full redesign .The solution was simply expanding the fun gaming world that was already in place. The characters were redesigned to be cleaner and larger, the scrolling map doubled in size to include a wrestling stadium, BURT’s House of Breakable Things (where players could grab weapons, and as the name implies, break things), new wardrobe unlocks and lots of real prizes for playing. The end result was an easier site for gamers to dive into and a bigger and much more reading world to explore.
Audi
We created a Facebook app to take the Audi Super Bowl spot hosted on YouTube, which was part of the Super Bowl Ad Blitz, and pulled it into a flash game where the player clicks on as many old luxury items as they can to unlock new luxury items that players could be entered to win. The app was gated for players to Like the Facebook Audi page to access the game, and would click on the YouTube video play button to begin the game. Every time the user played the game on Facebook, there was another YouTube view. We mapped out the points system and gamification based on the luxury items, their time and frequency on screen versus the prizes and their value in the Audi Super Bowl spot.

Progress on Powell
Public street furniture creation and installation, managed relationship with City Hall and Union Square Retail Association throughout concepting, creation and installation.
The Powell St. Promenade installation spans two blocks of the busiest pedestrian thoroughfare in San Francisco. We partnered with Hood Design Studio to transform the Promenade extending the existing sidewalk by 6’ and is made up of aluminum and wood grating. Strips of aluminum emerge from the grating and twist upward to create planters, benches and standing tables, mimicking the contours and framing of the 2012 A7 car. Parking was removed from the street, though the cable cars and private vehicles maintain access. The promenade offers refuge for passersby: an opportunity to sit, to drink coffee, to meet a friend before dinner, or to simply stand and people-watch while out of the way of the incessant flow of pedestrian traffic. Six solar towers on the promenade create the energy to power the lights along the walkway at night. The Powell Street Promenade is the largest 'Parklet' installation in the City.
