Verizon: Happy Campers

Verizon partnered with DrLupo to bring to live a gaming experience through streaming from the great outdoors as we took him camping. He’s streamed Fortnite, fireside from his campsite, using Verizon and the Night Mode on the new Samsung Galaxy S23+.

Delta and Issa Rae launched a collaboration at LA Fashion Week featuring a fashion line designed by small business owners for the chic, adventurous and well-traveled.

NRL: Grand Final

The NRL Grand Final is more than just a game - it’s about moments, the emotions and memories created on both side of the fence, on NRL’s biggest day of the year. We shot this TVC where the Grand Final is held every year, ANZ Stadium, and used archival game footage to compliment the VO. It was part of a broader campaign complete with radio, tactical OOH and social.

NRL: State of Mind

The NRL came to us with the challenge surrounding Australian sports culture of a stigma around mental illness, but looking at physical injuries just seen as simply part of the game. Our insight was “Physical injuries and mental illness are actually quite similar: both can ‘happen to anyone’, even the toughest men, and both can be managed. They can be treated the same.” Our creative landed on shooting in Townsville, North Queensland, Australia, where we created a mini docu + 30s broadcast spot surrounding Michael Morgan’s (Cowboy’s Halfback) story of his Road to Resilience.

Amazon Echo: Canada Launch

We were tasked with creating the launch campaign for Echo in Canada. This evolving project was super fun and consisted of a :30s broadcast launch spot, 10s social video, :30s radio spot, and a set of static banners. The objective of this campaign was to create awareness of the Echo brand and then to drive demand for devices in the Canadian market.

We shot this in LA and created fake snow to mimic those cold Canadian winters.

Introduction videos to drive awareness about Amazon's new photo printing and delivery service, Amazon Prints.

Alexa Moments

The Alexa Moments Campaign has been going on for some time now and evolving every round. I worked on the the 2017 Q1 campaign in London where I handled the post production team, while  shooting was going on simultaneously. I also worked on the most current Q4 launch spots by reshooting plates and encards with the up-to-date products. These short videos do very well to promote the brand and product.

Felix

Created a smart, simple and scalable animation program that gives Amazon businesses the power to tell their story using animated illustrations, copy and transitions. Framework allows animations to be built quickly and affordably. Each video consists of the same framework: The Challenge, Promise, 3 Key Sections, Key Take-away, and the Logo & CTA.

Echo Look

Amazon introduced the Alexa-powered device, with a built-in camera that can photograph, organize and get recommendations on outfits. We created a case study video that would play on mobile app when the Echo Look device launches. This would give the customer information on how to use the device, inform them of placement and best practices for the new product. 

Production: Watts Media
