THE 2019 CADILLAC XT4

The largest, and costliest, product launch for Cadillac in 2018. This complimentary pillar-focused campaign marked a turning point for the brand - as our work became the benchmark for Cadillac’s look and feel going forward. To say the client loved them would be a massive understatement. Because they made us cut over 50 of these films and plastered them freaking everywhere.

LEXUS - SHOW AND TELL

We could tell you how amazing our vehicles are... we could show you how amazing our vehicles are... or we could do both. From electrification, to off-roading and hospitality – when you step into a Lexus, you'll discover more than just a remarkable drive, but an experience that is amazing in every detail.

LEXUS - MAKING LUXURY PERSONAL

To launch Lexus’ new Brand Vision, called “Making Luxury Personal”, and redefine luxury for the company’s next chapter, we created a deep and intricate Global Campaign – consisting of 2 Launch/Manifesto TV spots, 5 Social films, photography, writing, etc. And what’s more, we did it all for less than $200,000.

AIR WICK - FAMILIAR FAVORITES

One of the oddest assignments I've worked on. Air Wick decided to create this new line of scents inspired by the smells of home. Because apparently homes don’t smell enough like home?

They also decided to pair with the most random partner brands: Snuggle fabric softener, Cinnabon cinnamon rolls, and Baby Magic baby powder. But it’s this absurdity that lead us to create a series of extremely quirky and fun TV commercials, featuring the iconic characters from each partner brand.

The best part though, was seeing it all seep into pop culture – As our Snuggle spot became one of the most popular meme’s of 2014. Go ahead, google "Snuggle bear meme"...

LINCOLN - CLICK TO PURCHASE

The perfect example of when execution is everything. A very simple message, filmed in a totally breathtaking way. You can now search and buy your new Lincoln via THE INTERNET.

Originally slated to run online-only, our spot was so well received that the client ponied up the cash to run it nationally on TV. It was also selected and featured on Creativity too.

LEXUS - DECEMBER TO REMEMBER

After 19 consecutive years of remembering December, that iconic "bow moment" needed a bit of a reboot. Rather than celebrating the moment you get the gift of a new Lexus, we decided to highlight all the moments that happen after. Because the greatest gifts keep on giving. ...Also, when was the last time you saw a December Sales Event ad featuring Halloween costumes and summer fireworks, instead of stockings and Christmas trees? Uh, you haven't.

CADILLAC - BLACKWING V8 ENGINE

It's not often you have the opportunity to affect a product itself. Cadillac asked us to name their newest hand-made V8 engine – a predecessor to the famous Northstar Engine.

We came up with the name "Blackwing" from the marlets, or small black birds, that once adorned the original Cadillac coat of arms. A nod to the brand’s history of performance and speed. It also just sounds bad-ass.
