National Geographic's new show One Strange Rock directed by Darren Aronofsky is focused on astronauts and their view of earth. We worked with TomorrowLab to create an immersive video projection experience that aimed to re-create that unique point of view.

The Masters. 100 players, across 18 holes, over 4 days, averaging a total of 21,600 shots. Problem is, the broadcast only covers 405 shots. That means only 2% get expert level commentary led by the legendary Jim Nantz.
Until now.
We remastered the Masters, giving every fan their own personal AI commentator covering every single shot taken during the tournament.

Introducing: Let’s create.
A new campaign and positioning for IBM.
Let’s create comes from the insight that we’re now living in an era where creativity is the defining currency of business.
This launch film—with voiceover and music by Donald Glover— focuses on the power, tyranny and unlimited potential within a blank page. The launch invites business leaders to create with IBM.
We created a series of dynamic type animations to outline IBM’s full offering of technology and services to support the launch film.

The Drum
ESPN fantasy football players set their line-ups, make trades and watch the rumor mill just about anywhere. They’re passionate about the game.
And when it comes to fantasy sports, the biggest enemy is uncertainty.
Like “What just happened to CeeDee Lamb in that viral video?”
Thankfully the ESPN fantasy football app has IBM Watson to analyze structured and unstructured data and give fantasy players some peace of mind. With Watson, these fans can be sure they’re making the right line-up and trade decisions…and get back to their family, friends and general practitioners.

When the holiday gifting season rolls around, we all make 2 lists:
1. A Shopping List - a list of gifts to buy for all the easy people.
2. A People List - a list of tricky people, for whom you have no idea what to buy.
Luckily TJ Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods are full of inspiration and the perfect gifts for everyone, no matter who they are.

Creative solutions often begin with a simple question: What if?
In the next chapter of the Let’s create campaign, we worked with the brilliant minds at Man Vs Machine to visualize the creative process and fill the blank page with moving collage.
Each film is a case study on how clients used IBM technology to answer their own what if questions and create something together.

This year, the stadium may be empty of spectators, but there have never been more people watching. You can take a fan away from the game, but you can't take the game away from a fan.
In addition to TV we also created an animated OOH campaign that spoke to bringing the US Open home.

How can IBM explain their tech to a new audience?
Remove it completely.
Introducing Techless, a new reality/docu-series from IBM where YouTube influencers have to complete seemingly simple tasks without any tech that is currently used or invented by IBM.
YouTube tech influencer Sara Dietschy attempts to find a famous ramen shop in Tokyo, and popular youtube chef Mike Greenfield tries to cook a meal for 3 foodies without the help of any IBM technology.

General Mills made a promise to remove artificial flavors and colors from their cereals. We wanted to bring that promise to life with all the other promises parents make to their children. And like the new cereals, we made sure it wasn’t too saccharine sweet.
In addition to the film, calligraphers created custom promises that we released on instagram and pinterest to launch the campaign.
