Salesforce wanted prospective customers to see how Spotify Advertising uses Salesforce to boost its bottom line and hit their numbers. So we created a video, blog, and event activation to bring truly bring the customer story to life.

We wanted Californians to save energy. So we lead by example. Which is why every ad in this campaign saved energy. Because it all adds up.

Alaska Airlines and Virgin America were two very different airlines. So when we were tasked with announcing Alaska's acquisition of Virgin, we knew Virgin fliers were going to be a little upset — okay, pissed.

So in order to ease tensions and boost excitement, we highlighted other odd couples throughout pop culture that joined forces to make a brilliant team. The result? People were… a lot less pissed. Especially after enjoying a few glazed donuts topped with crispy bacon. Delicious.

People in sales were hit hard in the pandemic. They had to shift from connecting with their customers over fancy lunches, boozy brunches, and tee offs from gorgeous gold courses to...well, chatting over Zoom calls. It was tough. They needed a new mindset. A way of thinking.

So we created Think Outside the Quota. A mini doc series and live event that brought together the leaders in sales from every level within top industries to share insights on how they've shifted their strategies and found sales success.

In the end, 700,000+ organic impressions were generated. And that was just a few months after the launch.

I wrote GIFS for the Madden 15 Gifferator, a GIF generator that flooded the internet with good ol', real-time, video game trash talk all NFL season long.

For the 2016 NFL season, Alaska Airlines converted Russell Wilson's passing yardage on the field, into flight miles in the sky. After each home game, we posted a video highlighting a few of his stats and showing how his passing yardage was added into a jackpot that three lucky fliers won at the end of the season.

Jim Beam Devil's Cut bourbon is made by extracting the spirits that soak into the barrel wood after years of aging, so you can unleash the spirit trapped within you.

We asked people to show us how they made history through two films on preroll and social, then rewarded three lucky winners with an experience they won't forget.

It was Dreamforce 2019, the biggest business conference in the world. We needed a “bright, shiny, relevant object” for a zone called the Einstein AI Summit. And we needed it to show how AI connects all the different Salesforce products.

The result? Einstein’s 360 Express, a gondola ride up the AI Summit. Narrated by the friendly tour guide, Einstein, riders got to see the power of the “Customer 360.” Haptics, buttons, and screens all around the interior made for a fully immersive and interactive experience. It proved to be an informative — and fun — way to learn about Salesforce’s artificial intelligence and the Customer 360.

Lyft wanted to do something cool for St. Patrick's Day so we decided to strike riders with the luck of the Irish. By opting into Lucky Mode, a gold car would show up with gold chains, got hat, gold chest, and about 100 gold keys in the backseat. If riders found the key that opened up the chest before getting to their destination, they won up to $600 in free rides. And a pretty dope gold jacket.

*SPEC*

Rugby is at a tipping point in North America. The young athletes of the sport currently have many local teams to play for, but what lacks is a large scale developmental system leading them into the pro ranks.

Mirroring the athletic academy system in sports like soccer, Nike has created the Nike Rugby Academy — a developmental system funneling the best high school talent into professional clubs throughout the world. We're asking the youth to apply to the program and accept the challenge.
