HUSKY LINERS


The original floor liner, hitting hard on the competition. It’s a better product, because it’s better material. Better fit. Better priced. And better tested. We made a Husky lab to prove the point in simple hard-hitting :15s all focusing on individual points of differentiation.

UNDER ARMOUR OUTDOOR MANIFESTO


When one of the biggest sportswear brands in the world taps you to tell their story to hikers, trail runners, anglers, and adventurers, you humbly accept and get straight to work. What started as producing trade catalogs in 2011 grew into marketing, social, and athlete management support across the entire UA Outdoor business. Other UA teams took notice of what we could do, leading to opportunities across team sports, training, and youth categories.

PELICAN


Pelican had long been the go-to name for protecting expensive gear in the harshest conditions. Our challenge was to tell that story in a new way that would resonate across a wider mix of outdoor verticals, especially with people who weren’t yet fully aware of the brand’s bulletproof reputation.

FOLDS OF HONOR MISSION VIDEO


Folds of Honor is a mission rooted in the ultimate sacrifice. When a hero falls or is injured, it shouldn’t cost their family’s future. Our task was to capture the profound weight of the folded flag, define what we stand for, and convey the hope that an education provides. We didn't just film a mission, we documented a promise, helping to honor the sacrifice and educate the legacy of American heroes.

FOLDS OF HONOR x NOTRE DAME


To help donors see the impact of their support, we followed Folds of Honor recipients at Notre Dame as they built a life on the other side of loss. It captures a scholarship’s real-world ripple effect and paints a picture of what generosity and patriotism can unlock: confidence, stability, and a path forward. All made possible by Folds of Honor and the patriots who stand behind it.

FOLDS OF HONOR STAND BY ME


We helped Folds of Honor translate their purpose into a unifying call to action, inviting America to stand by families who bear the cost of service. It’s an anthem that transforms patriotism into participation with the help of a well-known music track that was given an entirely new meaning.

BUSHNELL PGA TRADESHOW


Our long-standing golf client came to us and requested, “We need a knockout video for a major event, highlighting all of our products, and we need it in two weeks. And, it’s a very, uh, unique wide ratio.” So we did what we always do — we got to work. We gathered all of our relevant past commercials, reels, product demos and photography and created a looping three minute video that widened eyes whether the sound was on or not. Bushnell is dedicated to the game of golf, and we were certainly dedicated to making this video the best we could.
