There’s something special about the conversations people have when they’re in the car. Maybe it’s because you all face in the same direction? This was Sonic’s first new campaign in 15+ years – real people, unscripted in their cars enjoying each other’s company over burgers. During my time on the business, the company achieved its best sales in history and a QSR category-leading 25.8% same store sales growth.

Photographer Sandro collaborated with John Malkovich to create homages to the films of David Lynch, soundtracked by the likes of Karen O and Moby. Sponsored by Squarespace to sell an album benefitting the The Lynch Foundation. Rather than shout those heavyhitter names from the rooftops, we created a more Lynchian campaign - mysterious and hidden in plain sight, ready for fans to discover. Awarded by Communication Arts and The One Club.

Which is the design inspiration behind quip’s beautiful toothbrush and also our campaign about breaking people’s ‘habit inertia’. You can fuck up lots of things, but you won’t mess up brushing with quip’s unfuckupable products.

In 2010ish, the beginnings of the plant-based milk trend started to show up in our quantitative research. Yes, sometimes quant actually does give you something useful. We got ahead of the trend by shifting the “got milk?” strategy for the second time in twenty years - directly taking on the new competition for the first time.

In 2015 there were dozens of D2C underwear brands popping up. Most of those used blue humor or a fashion angle to sell their benefits to people. We decided on a more altruistic route: when you pick at a wedgie, it’s the people around you that are the real victims. The campaign led to the Tommy John’s highest sales period ever.

There’s a lot of people that want to use the internet for Bad Stuff. From serious things like political dis/misinformation and human trafficking, to more annoying things like recommendation algorithms and the Attention Economy.

So we took a pretty scientific process, explained it through the metaphor of clouds, and built a cloudy, skyward campaign and website to match. Awarded by the Awwwards, FWA Site of Day and FWA Cutting Edge Award.
