We found that New Yorkers were being unnecessarily taxed for bagels and cream cheese, so we had to do something about it…
“Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
A book so thick, it has done what history has been unable to do. Stop a bullet.

People love showing off their perfect holidays on Facebook. We realized that if more people share their Cape Town holidays on Facebook, we could convince more of their friends and followers to visit too. So we hacked the platform and sent thousands of Facebook profiles to virtually visit Cape Town.

When Popeyes launched the Sandwich, they started the chicken wars. Two years later, to launch our new nuggets we said: “We Come In Piece. 8 piece.”
We declared piece everywhere in The New York Times, in Times Square, on TV, and through social. And as an act of peace, we bought 1 Million Nuggets from our competitors and donated them to Second Harvest food bank.

In 2015, 36 252 people were killed by guns in the USA. 0 were killed by Teddy Bears. Yet there are more regulations for manufacturing Teddy Bears than guns. So we created the Teddy Gun, and used it as a way to ignite a groundswell of outrage and political pressure for common-sense gun laws.

In 2021, gender pronouns were finally mainstream. However, only 2% of riders and drivers had added their pronouns in the Lyft app.
So to get more people to add their pronouns in the app, we turned the way people identify rides into a symbol of gender identity. This is Pronoun Plates. We worked with LGBTQIA+ artists, who each designed a unique plate for their personal pronouns, inspired by their own journeys with gender identity.

For the first time in over 10 years, Philidelphia Cream Cheese asked us to launch a new platform. After hundreds of conversations with real Philly lovers, we realized it's so much more than the taste, it's how you feel while eating it. Huge appreciation must go to the client for letting us cover an entire room in carpet.
This is our surreal and sensorial platform: “You don’t just taste it. You feel it”.

AI-Generated voices that are so human, you won’t tell the difference. Just like with NotCo’s AI-Generated plant-based products.
There are countless stories of haunted roads across South Africa. We used some of these stories to create radio ads, and then bought targeted media in the areas referred to in each ad. So while people were driving on these roads, they could understand the benefit of fitting Volkswagen Genuine Parts.
