Toy Story Land Launch

Toy Story was getting its own land at Walt Disney World Resort and we wanted to surprise fans with a big reveal. So we took over Twitter during the Oscars, sending viewers on a virtual scavenger hunt to follow the iconic Pixar ball as it rolled across the country.

The mystery of #FollowTheBall sparked a full-on internet investigation, generating 5.6 billion social impressions in under four hours.

TYLENOL // Greatness Hurts

During the Olympics, everyone is focused on the winners. But you know what no one tells you about winning? It hurts.

With this in mind, we delivered Tylenol’s “Care Without Limits” message to the world, just in time for the Summer Games.

Triscuit Wheatberry Clusters

Triscuit wanted to introduce the world to their new Wheatberry Clusters. The only problem? No one knew what wheatberries were.

So we turned that confusion into the concept.

ZYRTEC

During my time at Doner, I helped bring multiple ZYRTEC campaigns to life, including “Yes Season,” the brand’s first as an official PGA TOUR partner.

Featuring Akshay Bhatia and his signature broomstick putting stance, our spot showed how ZYRTEC helps you say “no” to allergies and “yes” to everything you love.

fairlife

Most people think all milk is the same. We helped fairlife prove otherwise, fueling its rise as the fastest-growing value-added dairy brand.

Triscuit Maker Fund

Triscuit wanted to support artisanal food makers who share their belief that simple things can come together to create something more.

So one day, we went on a crowdfunding site and flash-funded every single project focused on simple ingredients.

Disney Hispanic

Disney wanted to reach the Hispanic target with a humor-first social campaign.

So we created two edutainment series rooted in Hispanic insights – “How to Do Disney” and “Mamaisms” – both starring Hispanic influencer Laura Di Lorenzo.

Oh Yeah!

There’s nothing Kool-Aid Man loves more than a good crash. So we crashed the premiere of the biggest show on TV… and the biggest, iciest wall of them all.

Oak Street Health

Oak Street Health does things differently. We thought their advertising should, too.

So we threw out the tired old healthcare playbook and found a more upbeat way to talk about aging.

U.S. Travel Association

COVID-19 had an unprecedented impact on the travel industry. So as the country moved to reopen, we moved to kickstart tourism’s recovery with an industrywide campaign like never before.

Together with the USTA’s 75 partner organizations, we inspired people to start making plans again by reminding them of the joy of travel when they needed it most.

This Calls For HALLS

Everybody knows America’s favorite cough drop. But did you know HALLS has a whole line of drops for just about every malady?

Whatever life throws, coughs, or sneezes your way… this calls for HALLS.

TYLENOL Easy to Swallow

We launched TYLENOL’s new “Easy to Swallow” product by making smoothness the throughline of our campaign.

From the visuals and audio to a social spot that literally flipped the world on its side, every detail was designed to make the experience feel as smooth as the product itself.

Benadryl // Bring It

There’s a certain fearlessness that comes with bringing along some Benadryl.
It doesn’t just give you confidence to deal with anything life throws at you… it might even have you asking the world to do its damndest.

Teddy Soft Bakes

We introduced moms everywhere to a new soft-baked snack from Teddy Grahams.

DraftKings

During my freelance stint at DraftKings, I churned out dozens of quick-turn TV and social spots starring personalities like Jessie Coffield and Andy Cohen.

While the work was promo-heavy by nature, my team found ways to make it more creative, fun and personality-driven. Everything was written, shot and edited in mere days. Here’s just a small sample.
