Build it and they will come. Nah. To make work that works, demands a bottom-up approach that identifies the right channels in order to craft ideas that leverage how people respond in those environments. We obsess about where the conversation is happening and who’s making it happen. The result? Unexpected creativity that demands attention for your brand.

The problem / tension
Franchisees faced an uphill climb post-pandemic, competing with a wave of new fitness brands eager to capitalize on homebound Americans. OrangeTheory found itself spending more on digital ads, but seeing fewer results as membership rates steadily declined—a tough pill to swallow for a category pioneer.
Solution
We teamed up with franchisee groups across the nation to reimagine their paid strategy with the help of new audience testing and segmentation, updated paid social campaign structures, and exploration and implementation of new creative tools and trends. From experimenting with new ad formats to harnessing the authenticity of user-generated content, we turned the focus back on what connects—and converts.
Results
Increased leads over 115% in just three months, helping our franchisee groups become the highest lead-to-member generators across the parent company. Talk about getting fit fast.

The problem / tension
Nursing isn’t just a career—it’s a calling. But lately, it feels like the call is going to voicemail. More than 100,000 registered nurses have left the profession since 2020. As the culture of work, education and care shift, our future health lies in the balance. Galen faced a tough challenge: how do you ask someone to take on the immense responsibility of nursing?
Solution
This wasn’t just about reaching prospective students—it was about connecting with them. Our 360° paid media campaign met future nurses exactly where they are, with messaging that didn’t just inform, but ignited a sense of purpose in the form of leads and enrollments to Galen’s 21+ campuses nationwide.
Results
57% increase in first time leads, and over 1.1M in media added value delivered.
Creative Case Study
Uncovering cultural connection behind America’s fastest-growing Scotch.
- Client:

- Category:

- Year:
- 2023
The problem / tension
Buchanan’s is a whisky with Scottish roots and a Latin soul, loved across Latin America for over a century. But it was facing an identity crisis, struggling to stay relevant with younger Hispanic-American drinkers who just weren’t connecting with the brand the way past generations had.
Solution
We turned this identity struggle on its head, creating a platform that celebrated it instead. The Spirit of the 200% embraced the power of dual identity, reconnecting Buchanan’s with the fastest-growing demographic in the U.S.—young Hispanic-Americans who proudly see themselves as 100% Hispanic and 100% American.
Results
#1 Fastest-growing Scotch in the U.S. +47% above-benchmark ROI (highest in Buchanan’s history). $4M gain in volume spend from tequila.

The problem / tension
Wine ages well, wine advertising…not so much – leaving younger consumers behind.
Solution
We teamed up with action figure legend Dan Chung to create bespoke, handmade collectibles—"Mini Martha" and "Lil Snoop"— to launch 19 Crimes' Martha's Chard and Snoop's Cali Blanc. With only a few dozen made of each, these ultra-limited editions blended artistry, exclusivity, and pop culture fun, driving buzz well beyond the wine aisle.
Results
These mini besties stole the spotlight. Beloved by fans of all ages, they garnered widespread press, industry accolades, and even joined Snoop Dogg on tour. The buzz helped Martha’s Chard and Cali Blanc become the #1 and #2 Wine Innovation Items in their category, boosting 19 Crimes’ brand awareness by +16% and driving nearly $19M in new product sales.

The problem / tension
How do you create cultural relevance and capture attention during one of the world’s biggest sporting events—without paying the gold medal price?
Solution
Since his debut two years ago, Lil Snoop has been Big Snoop’s lil’ right-hand man. So, when Big Snoop left for Paris and the biggest global sporting event, Lil Snoop did what any Snoop would—he stowed away (quite rebelliously). We built a social-first campaign around Lil Snoop to spark talkability and engagement, while maximizing efficiencies by creating content that doubled as paid media assets.
Results
19 Crimes made history as the first wine brand to advertise on TikTok, doubling site traffic and driving a major boost in follower count and engagement.

The problem / tension
Target’s social channels had become a catch-all for content, losing focus as a strategic pillar to unlock innovation and drive growth.
Solution
We uncovered the sweet spot between connection and commerce, redefining entertainment as the key to winning in social. Instead of chasing trends, we reimagined how to sell products in ways that felt relevant and engaging. Take Pets of Tarjay: an episodic, reality TV-inspired campaign that humanized pets to promote a limited-time collab. By showcasing products through the eyes of pets, we hit cultural cues while driving both relevance and reach.
Results
Pets of Tarjay was the brand’s first reality-inspired social series, and one of the most talked about social campaigns.

The problem / tension
Doritos is always looking for bold ways to stay relevant in pop culture, while Netflix was gearing up to keep fans hooked for Stranger Things season four. We saw an opportunity to bring these two icons together—sprinkled with a heavy dose of 80s nostalgia—to intrigue fans, satisfy both brands’ cravings, and connect with a younger audience.
Solution
We turned Doritos bags into gateways to the Upside Down, where fans tuned in to the first-ever concert streamed from another dimension: Live from the Upside Down. Featuring iconic ‘80s artists revived in the eerie alternate world, the half-hour live stream captivated fans and left our brand partners cheering. Also, many of the bands survived!
Results
+11% Doritos sales lift, +10% 3D Doritos sales lift, and #1 share of voice for all things Stranger Things 4 partnerships.

The problem / tension
How does Old Navy stand out in a world where consumers are drowning in content and actively skipping ads?
Solution
We created Lil Interns, a short-form comedy series blending The Office with Kindergarten Cop. This six-episode, white-labeled workplace sitcom starred SNL’s Kenan Thompson in partnership with Lorne Michaels’ Broadway Video. The hilarious vignettes followed Kenan and his pint-sized interns as they hilariously navigated corporate life at Old Navy HQ, taking on roles in HR, finance, and marketing.
Results
Lil Interns exceeded KPIs for Reach and Long Form Views, outperforming benchmarks from Old Navy’s previous traditional campaigns. Buzzy bonus? 405M PR impressions across trade, consumer and entertainment media.
