Giant armpits in NBA2K and the real world welcomed people back from the pandemic.
In 2021 people emerged from their Covid bunkers and, according to Degree’s plummeting sales. many hadn’t worn deodorant in over a year. Gross.
So we showed up in NBA2K to remind people to put some on as they went back to the real world.
Then we made a armpit-mobile complete with creepy life-like hair, and put GIANT armpit billboards everywhere.

It turns out that dogs have more to contribute to the workplace than many of our coworkers. So we created resumes for dogs using their real skills, and tricked employers into giving them interviews.
This Arizona woman tried to write off a Snickers on her taxes. For real. So we turned her story into a film to share for tax day.
For the five year anniversary of the Newtown shooting, we turned a moment of silence honoring victims into a fundraising tool to prevent future shootings.
FedEx helps your business grow fast. So fast that it quickly ends your awesome "building a business" montage.
To share the news that Snickers cures irritability, we ran a print ad calling our customers jerks. And then released a second print ad and video apologizing for it.
#TomorrowsNews tells the story of a shooting that hasn't happened yet to point out the preventability of gun violence. Our media plan enlisted bloggers to share the film like they would with an actual piece of news.
