On average there are 87 million chicken wings and 90 million litres of beer consumed during the Super Bowl. Which is why Canada sees a 32% uptick in “sick days” the Monday after the big game.

Spoiler alert: you’re boss is on to you. They know you’re not sick. You’re just...dehydrated. That’s why we introduced Liquid I.V.’s “HR: Hydration Resources.” A fictional department developed to wave a big foam finger at Canadians collective bad behaviour and offer a solution for this nationwide “sick” day.

Simply enrol in our “hydration benefits plan” via Amazon or Uber Eats before the Big Game to get a stick of Liquid I.V. delivered right to your door. Go big Sunday, but circle back hydrated on Monday.

In Canada, one in two girls leave sport by late adolescence—not from lack of drive, but from lack of belief that they belong. We needed to show girls that sport is more than an activity for today—it’s something that shapes who you become tomorrow.

“Field the Future” is a never-been-done, AI-powered brand stunt designed to actually show girls who they have the potential to become if they stay on the field. We brought this to life through an emotional, social experiment that turned their stories into powerful self-portraits of possibility. 

A standard photoshoot became data, capturing each girl's personality, energy, and ambition as AI specialists transformed each girl’s story into a hyper-personalized portrait of their future selves, revealed in real time to them and their families. Our hero film premiered at a professional women’s soccer match creating a ripple effect of inspiration in stadium, followed by a paid campaign that allowed the masses to see how keeping girls on the field can shape a generation of future leaders.

adidas set out to strengthen its presence in baseball by connecting with the next generation of athletes. Rooted in performance, they wanted to redefine what speed and agility meant on the field through their lightweight cleat, an innovation designed to push baseball forward. So we decided to flip the script on baseball’s power obsession by dramatizing adidas’s story of lightness.

“Moon Derby” is a gravity-defying brand stunt where MLB super stars and next-gen players hit 3,000+ ft bombs in a simulated lunar environment. Built as a film-grade sets using HitTrax data, the experience delivered viral buzz and proved that lightness can hit like power.

The result was a stunt that brought lightness into the baseball conversation—and adidas into the headline.

In 2021, 85 million suspected pieces of child sexual abuse were found online. To visualize the scale of this problem, we created the “Unwanted Film Festival” - larger than all the world’s film festivals combined. Playing online everywhere. 24/7.

Using AI, we generated 85 million unique film posters in real time, each inspired by real survivor stories. 1 film poster being created every 2 seconds.

The campaign launched with an immersive experience in NYC during the Tribeca Film Festival and contextual OOH, and continues to live online at unwantedfilmfest.com

This campaign is centered around the universal truth that everyone needs someone to help make them believe in their own capability.

Each spot champions the importance of positivity in sport and the pivotal role that parents, coaches, teammates, and friends play from the sidelines in supporting athletes at every level.

To a new generation of Zillennials, Coleman had become a brand of the past—more “grandpa’s cooler” than go-to gear. To reach a new target with major buying power, the brand wanted to shift perception from a camping company to an outdoor lifestyle brand. We repositioned Coleman as a brand for more than just the hardcore outdoorsy by welcoming in those who are more outdoors-ish.

“Call of the Mild” is a cheeky invitation that allows anyone to see Coleman as the brand for them – even if you just plan one beach day a year or if your idea of roughing it is a season’s worth of kid's soccer games. This national campaign celebrated the joy of stepping outside no matter what that looks like—no 5 am wake up or hiking boots required. 

Skin cancer is one of the most common cancer types found in young adults aged 15-29. On top of that, melanoma diagnoses are rising and fewer biopsies are being done as a result of the pandemic. So to make people pay attention, we needed to take the problem out of the doctor’s office and make it something young people not only acknowledge, but look at.

Introducing the Self-Assessment Suit.

We used design to reimagine a standard diagnostic tool, then put it somewhere people would see it - on the beach. It’s the first-ever wearable early detection tool serving up essential education about the ABC’s of skin cancer right where the summer vibes are vibing.

Greenfield Natural Meat Co. is the first carbon neutral meat company in North America.

To launch the brand in the US and announce our news, we sent Eric Wareheim to the top of a mountain to announce that meat eaters no longer have to choose between their love of bacon and their love of nature.

Vodka lemonade and summer go hand-in-hand. So in the dead of winter, we wanted to remind people they can get a taste of summer anytime.

The Loyal 9 Hotline is a real toll-free number that brings the heat all winter long. Get a taste of summer. For your ears.

For hundreds of years the diet industry has been selling us on ways of eating that are focused on “bettering” ourselves. But our food choices don’t just affect us, they affect our planet too. So we created the first diet important enough to do and delicious enough to actually stick to. Because at the end of the day, what good is a beach bod without a beach to go too?

We placed The Low Carb(on) diet where people were scrolling food trends and recipes, hitting the gym and grocery shopping. We then directed them to our hubs for all the tips, tricks and recipes they needed to try it for themselves.

We also released cheeky recipes and reminders throughout the year –like “The Healthiest Sandwich for the World” and “The BaeCon Basket” – to remind people that eating for the planet can be delicious.

After a five-year silence, Classico needed to reintroduce itself to a new generation of millennial families. The kind of people who want to cook from scratch but don’t always have time to cook from scratch.

We needed to shift perceptions from “just another jarred sauce” to a shortcut to homemade that doesn’t mean cutting corners. So we showed people that with Classico, even when it’s not from scratch, you still made it.  Because without the right sauce, your favourite foods aren’t really your favourite foods and your ravioli, rigatoni, and fettuccine agree.

In 2023, so many things that used to be table stakes feel out of reach. Owning a house, having kids, or retiring one day,

Questrade knows exactly how so many of us are feeling. They also know that with the right investing partner, what’s possible is entirely up to you.

Greenfield Natural Meat Co. is America’s first carbon neutral meat company. So how do you raise awareness of our unique claim AND drive people to shelf? You didn’t position yourselve as a meat brand, you position yourselves as a green brand.

And what do you get for making green choices? Rebates.

The Bacon Rebate is the first green rebate for something on your grocery list. Because if you get a green rebate for driving electric or using energy efficient appliances, you deserve one for eating carbon neutral bacon, too.

TRIGGER WARNING

For countless victims of child sexual assault, the original abuse is just the beginning of a cycle of revictimization. They have had to live their traumatic and tragic reality for decades due to social media platforms and tech companies that allow images and films of their abuse to exist online.

“Unwanted followers” gives a small glimpse of what it is like to live as a victim of child sexual assault who is haunted by this kind of material being unregulated on the internet.

Loyal 9 is not a seltzer. But in a seltzer-crazed world, everyone assumes it is.

So we enlisted Ziwe to call out bubbles and put them in their place. Anywhere but in a can of Loyal 9.

Finding a bathroom on the streets of NYC without having to buy a muffin is nearly impossible. If we can get almost anything on-demand, why not the one thing we need wherever we go — a clean, comfortable bathroom.

With the click of a button, we delivered private bathrooms to people where they needed them most – the streets of NYC – resulting in the best performing social campaign in the history of the brand.

Women make up nearly half of the NFL’s fanbase but have almost no representation when it comes to game commentary.
