Jack and T-Pain join forces to announce T-Pain’s new Munchie Meal.
They game, they sing, make fun of eachother, and take the red carpet.
It’s a match that gives us so munch more.

Behind the world-famous Ozempic and Wegovy sits Novo Nordisk, a century-old Danish pharma company thrust into the global spotlight.
They asked us to capture their essence, leading to “Unordinary Drives Change”—a platform celebrating their long history of breaking the mold.
In addition to creating their global brand platform, we developed a design system built on their existing brand standards that extended across the organization.
Expanding the definition of what it means to be a dad through care.
Being a father can take many forms, but it’s care that makes a dad. So on Father’s Day, we celebrated diverse, authentic stories from real dads, role models, and father figures to show that fatherhood means more than just biology.
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.

For IBM's "Let's Create" platform launch, we spotlighted innovators worldwide who use technology creatively to solve problems of all sizes.
Renowned photographer, Mark Mahaney and other supporting local photographers across the world captured these tech leaders as artists in their studios.
This consistent, destinctive, yet flexible portrait style worked seamlessly across global media in major cities on five continents.
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.

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.

Seamless AI Art, Seamless Partnership.
As IBM set out to launch its new Ai product, watsonx, they faced one problem: tech leaders thought it wouldn’t integrate easily with other brands. Instead of explaining why they were wrong, we decided to demonstrate how powerful an IBM partnership could be.
At Amazon’s biggest conference in Las Vegas, we transformed the whole city into an immersive generative AI art gallery, with each piece giving the feeling of a seamless and powerful IBM AI and AWS Cloud partnership.
We started with each brand’s core colors, then used AI to generate beautiful particle physics procedural simulations from them. Each piece was inspired by the key elements of the IBM and AWS partnership: elastic data strands secured with flexibility, translucency spoke to transparency with accessibility, harmonious particles represented expertise with efficiency. The epic union of two powerful competitors cut through the Vegas noise, turning the audience’s perception of IBM from a “walled garden” into a powerful partner.
Finding the right small business insurance can be tough.
Simply Business makes it easy with an online platform that helps owners get policies tailored to their needs and removes the stress from the process.
When they launched in the U.S., we created their new brand platform called Be Sure.
And brought it to life with a refreshed design system and a commercial that shows what not to do: enlist the services of a small business insurance medium.
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.

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.
