Sounders : Launch Campaign
Description
The Seattle Sounders FC came to us with a logo and no team and asked us to help them sell out a giant stadium. We decided to take it to the streets and Scarf Seattle with literally thousands of scarves to get the city excited for the newest professional sports franchise. In the end, we broke every record in the league for ticket sales, and sold out every game.

Sounders : Date With A Sounder
After successfully launching the team in 2009 and a successful sophomore season in 2010, the Sounders asked us to start to build some love for their players, not just the team or match experience. So we invited the city of Seattle on a Date With a Sounder, a fun campaign aimed at introducing the city to the players.

Sounders : Play The Full 90
Give us your Full 90 has been the Sounders tag line since their inception 5 years ago (look at the golfball to the left of this one). Anyhow, "Its time to play the Full 90" is just us having fun with that line and shaking it up a little as we ask our fans to come out and give us their Full 90 again. Our goal this year was to create a campaign that was fun and showed off the players. Like the campaign says, "It's a game that's also a show!"

Rainier : Restore The R
We shot this as the launch of a campaign to help “Restore the R.” In case you were living under rock in Seattle in the 70s, The Rainier R was an iconic symbol of the Seattle skyline until the brewery shut down a few decades ago. We found the R leaning up against the wall in the gift shop of a museum. We reached out to Rainier, who still sells the beer in the Pacific Northwest, and they got excited.
The results are this campaign, www.RestoreTheR.com which is worth checking out. Contestants from all over the world are “earning bulbs”, sending photos of their escapades documenting their love for Rainier Beer. 2012 Advertising -
Wilson Tennis : International Tennis Court
Perched high in the Alps is an international tribunal where the world’s tennis disputes are settled once and for all. This isn’t a court of grass, cement or clay. It’s a court of justice. Welcome to the Tennis Court. The game’s highest, most powerful and least understood governing body.
It is here that two controversial new Wilson rackets are on trial. The Wilson Juice and Steam generate so much power and spin, some are questioning whether they should even be legal. The fate of tennis as we know it hangs in the balance as lawyers clad in their best whites battle for control of the court. 2012 Advertising -

This is our first campaign for Oberto, the best beef jerky in the world. Actually, it's the Most Excellent beef jerky in the world. Which is why we unabashedly called out its excellence and created a campaign that asks people not to just buy Oberto, but to Acquire a Taste for Excellence.

Copper Mountain : Everyone Deserves a Snow Day
Not everybody gets one, but Everybody Deserves a Snow Day. This was the idea behind our campaign for Copper Mountain Ski Resort. People in warmer climates don’t get to enjoy the glory that is a Snow Day, so we decided to give them one. We made it snow in Austin, Dallas and Kansas City, to name a few, to drive sales from these markets.

Microsoft : Pushpins
In the early days of Microsoft mapping software, we were asked to launch an integrated social feature to create awareness and drive traffic.
Since the pushpin as an icon had already moved into the digital world, we simply took the pin back out to the real world where it could be social and have some fun. 2012 Advertising -

UW : Crazy Larry
You know you’ve seen him. At the tailgates around 8 a.m. In the stands. In opponents’ nightmares. Crazy Larry is anything but nuts. He’s a passionate fan who will do anything to get in the stadium. And this year, it was only $250 for select season tickets. We created Larry, a Frankenstein of our dreams and nightmares, and he helped us get tickets sold at a record pace.

ESPN
We created this campaign for ESPN’s Fantasy Football League Manager at a time when fantasy sports was reaching epic proportions. Despite the fact that ESPN’s service was pay-to-play vs. the competition’s free version, we were able to leverage the great ESPN tradition and triple the numbers from previous years. Touchdown.
