Executive Producer, with additional SGWX Production Support for PDA.NYC

PDA generates love for brand clients by bringing them closer to culture. In the case of Netflix, the client IS the culture. We’re proud to help Netflix attract brands for innovative creative collabs with their most beloved shows, movies, sports, and live events.

The goal is going beyond product placements and traditional 30-second spots to develop custom brand experiences that amplify the passion of Netflix’s many fan communities. Because we know there’s no rabid advertising fans out there spending their weekends binge-watching TV spots.

Our work for Netflix included a film that blurred the line between Squid Game and the ad game at Netflix’s wildly successful first live upfront experience at Pier59 Studios in Manhattan.

Netflix OOH campaign for Advertising Week NYC that celebrated the blood-thirsty competition our industry is famous for.

PDA.NYC, 2024

The first brand campaign for Loop, the innovative global brand that's elevating earplugs to earwear.

PDA delivered strategy, creative development, production, and media planning & buying for the campaign — with SGWX providing production support, from planning through the final delivery of nearly 1500 unique media assets.

Loop is a hearing protection brand that wholeheartedly supports everything we love that's loud in life: live music, energetic bars, bustling cities, sweaty fitness classes, motorsports, whatever.

SHUT UP NOISE/TURN UP SOUND urges us to celebrate sound while defeating its enemy, noise, through Loop acoustic filters engineered for a variety of everyday environments.

We helped PDA.NYC create this AI experiment as a gift to the Internet.

As submitted to Upworthy, here’s a 4 min depiction of what we created for Street Grace and victims of domestic minor sex trafficking on Jan 2, 2019 in Atlanta.

Working with the State’s Attorney General, GA State Patrol and Police Department, GA Dept of Transportation, Gwinnett County Bus Depot and drivers, and the amazing people who manage Atlantic Station, we drove 72 school buses right through the heart of Atlanta to encourage people to open their eyes and to bring attention to the fact that the source of this very real problem lives right here, among us, in our very own communities.

Bark Bark Production ran our capture and editorial effort, bringing on Dir Meg Gomaz, DP Alex Allgood recruiting 10 of the top DPs in the state to position around the city, with Duane Codrington throwing multiple drones in the sky. Incredible day, incredible effort to make it possible - so many people came together to make it possible - pro bono.

UPDATE: ATLANTA ADDY WINNER, “BEST OF SHOW” 2/2019

We worked with Street Grace, a not-for-profit organization in ATL to help stop the demand in our communities that feeds child sex trafficking.

There are already intervention programs designed to lure would-be traffickers into conversations with fake children — who are really agents, intercepting these calls, and leading the callers to find help.

We created a bot to replace this effort — and to scale to more profiles, more cities, more states — to protect in the same effort not just one, but many communities.

An amazing use of an emerging technology, bringing more good into the world by filtering out some of the bad.

Created for Street Grace by BBDO Atlanta.

3min online music video we created for this one lucky winning lady, “aunt edith” who won the 40MIL ;)

here’s also the :60 tv spot that ran all over georgia last year.

This is a live experience we created for client, Street Grace.

We turned an average home in an affluent neighborhood in GA into a real life haunted house — a human sex trafficking house — to expose and bring attention to the very-real-life domestic human sex trafficking epidemic we have in GA, in our country, thriving right where we live, in our communities.

The experience was interactive, actors in every part of the house bringing it to life, the experience getting progressively darker as you progressed. Visitors were picked up in a white van, then witnessed the host picking up a young girl, then everyone is taken to the house. You then enter the house not realizing you are in the role of a prospective buyer.

We also posted the experience as an interactive, 360˚ video online for those who couldn’t be there at the house in GA.

One of the most gratifying projects I have ever been part of.

This is a simple spot that started out as a brand manifesto video, then was shaped into a potent spot that ran during the 2016 Super Bowl pre-game show.

A tremendous success for the brand and the agency, it garnered so much internal energy, and tested better than existing TVC, the brand got 100% behind the spot, and a new direction for their ads to come.

Additional, notable work includes Mamming, Oreo's 2014 Super Bowl Tweet that was "heard" around the world, and Mattel.

Over nine months of R&D, we developed “Wake Up and Smell the Bacon,” the world's only alarm clock device and app that lets users awaken to the sound and scent of bacon.

We created a video parodying the ridiculous, whimsical tone of contemporary fragrance ads and launched a website where fans could apply to win one of the limited edition devices. To help build buzz, we seeded a handful of devices with influencers (the device needed to be experienced to be believed) and used digital media to spread our comical video to the masses.

Demand for the limited edition product was sudden and massive, as more than 300,000 people applied to win a free device and 65,000+ people downloaded the app. Media outlets jumped at the chance to demo to the devices on TV and in the papers. USA Today called it “The best invention since whatever came before sliced bread.”

Almost immediately, “Wake Up & Smell the Bacon” was a hot topic on national news shows and in major consumer and trade publications – garnering 450 million+ earned media impressions and making Oscar Mayer the most talked-about bacon brand in America.

Pro bono campaign by 360i creative and technology teams, prod company Dirty Robber and directors Schillick, and Mass Relevance. 

Mammograms are awkward, painful and uncomfortable to talk about. Two female agency creatives at 360i, one a breast cancer survivor herself, wanted to make people more comfortable with the conversation and the procedure, and they knew social media would be a great place to start.

The team launched #Mamming – a spin on an existing Internet favorite, "planking." The idea was to get people to Instagram photos of themselves laying their (clothed) breasts on things, just like a woman does during a mammogram. They worked with famous comedy actresses to create a video for getting the word out, and created a website to provide information about the cause and curate the deluge of #mamming photographs submitted by eager fans engaging with the campaign.

The effort instantly gained global press coverage in places like Fast Company, BuzzFeed, Huffington Post UK, The New York Post, Creativity and more. It was shared by celebrities such as heavyweight boxing champ Lennox Lewis, digital curator Guy Kawasaki and Whoopi Goldberg — who got in on the action by mamming on The View. With zero paid media support, the campaign went global and viral, garnering over 332 million earned media impressions.

*American Advertising Awards - Integrated Marketing Campaign - Gold & Best in Show (local level)

In 2013, the New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation (NOTMC) partnered with 360i to go beyond the beads and transform the way travelers viewed the city affectionately known to locals as “NOLA.”

Research revealed that prospective visitors were excited by the city’s rich history and bottomless well of cultural experiences, so our strategy was to show the real New Orleans through immersive, digital experiences tailored to our core target, the ‘experiential discoverer’— a segment defined by a mindset that's open to uncovering new experiences and exploration at every turn.

Shifting 50 percent of its budget to digital, NOTMC launched an integrated program, called “Follow Your NOLA,” to showcase the deep-rooted dimensions that are at the heart of the city’s vibrant culture. Prospective travelers were encouraged to live like a local via an interactive map on an experiential website (http://www.FollowYourNola.com) that inspired travelers to navigate New Orleans’ true soul: parks, historic sites, museums, shops and more.

Execution: Supporting the site were several executions that further brought to life NOLA’s unique culture: custom content partnerships with sites like BuzzFeed, Flavorwire and Pandora; digital PR that tapped family-minded bloggers and multicultural influencers to act as local tour guides; social activations across all channels; inspiring TV advertising that drove to the online experience; and more.

Results: The campaign has garnered more than 600 million impressions, with the city’s website experiencing a 20 percent increase in visits year over year. Buzz from the effort has helped people see the city in a new light, with Conde Nast Traveler calling New Orleans “one of the top cities in the U.S.” and the Daily Beast ranking NOLA as the No. 2 most “aspirational city” in the country.

Moreover, visitors are exploring the city more than ever. Research indicates that repeat visitors are experiencing many more events on subsequent visits and business visitors have extended their visits to enjoy the cultural offerings of the city. As a result, New Orleans is enjoying one of its busiest tourism seasons in a decade, tallying $4 billion in visitor spending during the first half of 2013 alone.

*Cresta Awards - Digital: Food - Finalist (TBD)

Objective: People love bacon, but they aren't particularly choosy about which bacon they love. Oscar Mayer asked us to help them prove that their Original 16 Oz. Bacon is truly a cut above the rest, so that more people would seek out Oscar Mayer Bacon by name in the grocery store.

Insight: We observed grocery shoppers and noticed that people meticulously inspect bacon before making a purchase. In fact, people shop for bacon a lot like they shop for fine jewelry. So with Father’s Day around the corner, we created an experience that would allow women to gift luxurious bacon products to the leading men in their lives.

Strategy: “Say It With Bacon” parodied the lengthy consideration process involved when purchasing a diamond, educating bacon connoisseurs about the "Four Cs" of Oscar Mayer’s superior bacon: Cut, Color, Cure and Consistency. We launched the campaign with a video that mocked classic engagement ring ads and encouraged people to visit a digital pop-up shop where they could purchase luxe bacon gifts for the men in their lives. We released new batches of gifts each day at varying times, and fans rushed to follow @OscarMayer on Twitter to learn exactly when the next batch would be released for sale.

Results: The gifts were gone within minutes on the first day, and sold out every day thereafter. When all was said and done, the effort had garnered 500MM impressions (70% of which were earned) and Oscar Mayer saw a 53% lift in branded bacon conversations. More importantly, it helped move product: while sales across the entire category slipped -7.7% due to rising commodity costs, Oscar Mayer’s bacon sales were up a hearty 3.3% (Source: Nielsen).

In September, 2012, we sent a guy from New York to LA with no cash and no credit cards—just a refrigerated trailer full of Oscar Mayer's new Butcher Thick Cut bacon to barter for everything he needed along the way: gas, hotels, food, everything.

The result was a real-time, social media-powered journey across the states, where digital techniques harnessed real-world bacon passion to make Oscar Mayer the most talked about bacon brand in America.

Animated series created for Dentyne's Split2Fit campaign to introduce a new pack which splits into two smaller packs, so it can "fit almost anywhere" -- which, of course, we had a lot of fun with.

We invited people from 5 major cities to invent new flavors around the unique attributes that make up the character of their cities. Votes within each city were automatically cast by the city’s natural ‘heartbeat,’ or the everyday choices of its residents via their behavioral patterns in public transportation, photos posted, city traffic patterns and weather, and the people themselves.

•      In NYC, cabs traveling uptown counted as votes for Peppermint, while cabs headed downtown count as votes for Fairtrade Vanilla.

•      In D.C., every on-time Red Line and Orange Line Metro train counted as a vote for either Cherries or Fairtrade Bananas.

•      In Portland, votes were cast for either Marshmallows or Graham Crackers depending on whether a man walking through the door at Cartopia – the city’s famed food cart pavilion – had a mustache or a beard.

We used video footage of these happenings and other quirks in each market, and leveraged the content within a larger digital media campaign used to drive people to the City Churned microsite, where ice cream lovers could track all of this in real-time, vote for, and even name their favorite flavors.

"In the digital world, kids can be anywhere. Know where they go."

This “Know Where They Go” TV spot was part of a PSA campaign for the Department of Justice and iKeepSafe, encouraging parents to spend more time with and monitor where their kids are “going” on the internet.

A mix of old and new school: precise camera movement and direction of more than a hundred physical elements, timed and placed into a 3D digital composite. We created a bar full of lascivious characters then turn it into the young boy’s room in an instant, isolating every single actor and prop on green-screen then compositing the hero shots (the kid, then the dad and doorway) with digitally modeled backgrounds to create the raucous bar.

Took 2 days to shoot it all -- and about 3 weeks to post. PSA budgets are small, but sometimes afford a little more creativity than usual.

NBC digital studio’s finest production, a truly viral video, and well before the term was so catchy. 6 million views and counting, with absolutely no paid promotion -- just 4 months of late nights posting and reposting, linking and commenting to crank up the natural buzz.

The video was a bitch to make, but fun. The suit was hot as balls, and the head flew around when you moved, so we had to rig it with straps. And you have to make it look convincing, or it’s just not worth it -- I can still hear J saying to Nelson, after the first take of the slammin' elevator shot -- “I can take one more hit, and that’s it." Pointing to me behind the camera, "If Marc says we have to do it again, I’m going to kick your ass!”
