Liquid IV: Real Hydrating

The Challenge
Create a national campaign for Liquid IV to defend its 40% market share as competition rises. Liquid IV needed to go beyond "mommy Costco runs" and hangover cures.

The Insight
75% of Americans are dehydrated, and hydration is essential for everyday wellness—not the costly, idealized “wellness” image. Our audience, the "Wellbeings," are diverse, predominantly Black and Latine, and living active lives in the real world. They seek accessible hydration for real-life moments.

The Idea: Real Hydrated
Our winning campaign, Real Hydrated, focused on authentic hydration occasions relevant to this audience's lives, launching across social media, Spotify, Snapchat, and at hydration-demanding events like Coachella and Outside Lands. We also supported the launch of a sugar-free version, tailored to this audience’s needs.

The Impact
In just 13 weeks, we introduced Real Hydration directly to an untapped, diverse audience:
• 1.094B impressions
• 601M reached
• 20.6% awareness (up from ~19.4%)
• ~988,800 new household penetration (+.08 HHP)

The Challenge

The Idea: Watch With Me
Our branded series, Watch With Me, invites top figures in film, music, and sports to share their Google TV Watchlists, revealing how these shows and movies shaped their lives.

With over 170 pieces of content, this campaign included: long-form and short-form videos for social and stills for integration onto the Google TV platform and website.

We interviewed top-tier talent such as Kerry Washington, Laverne Cox, Judd Apatow, Hasan Minhaj, Simu Liu, Taraji P. Henson, Chris Paul, Chloé Zhao, Andra Day, Zooey Deschanel and Leslie Odom, Jr.

The Impact

2.8M+ Organic video views
• 15.3M+ Organic social impressions
• 48.9M+ Impressions
• 1.4M YouTube views

Japan Airlines x Gemini: AI Pre-Roll

Apple TV+: Social

The Challenge
Earn social buzz for the upcoming season of “Severance” and create captivating organic social content starring the cast of Apple TV+’s "Palm Royale" and "Loot" and yes, it includes cats... in tiny costumes.

The Ideas:

“Severance”: At Grand Central Station, actors including Adam Scott and Britt Lower performed live inside a glass cube replica of Lumon Industries, typing away on retro computers. The eerie stunt brought the show’s corporate dystopia to life and sparked major social buzz. (2025 The One Show: Finalist)

“Palm Royale”: We tapped into the show’s unforgettable runway scene with Kristen Wiig and Kaia Gerber, reimagined with stylish, strutting cats in mini versions of the show’s iconic outfits. Think “Top Model,” feline edition. We also added a twist on Vogue’s “Life in Looks,” with Kristen and Kaia sharing their favorite fashion moments from the series.

“LOOT”: Maya Rudolph teamed up with the show’s wardrobe stylist to style looks from her character’s closet, each paired with real, offbeat jobs like “snake milker” and “ghost tour guide.”

Google Play: Change The Game

The Challenge
Address the lack of inclusivity in gaming, often seen as male-dominated, by supporting female and diverse gamers.

The Insight
Despite 48% of gamers being women and 73% of Black Americans identifying as gamers, female and POC developers remain underrepresented.

The Idea: Change The Game

The Idea
We introduced the “Earning Trainer,” played by Kevin Hart, as a motivational and relatable advisor helping users achieve financial goals. Using a “hook-and-hold” approach, Kevin broke the fourth wall, engaging users directly in their Instagram and Facebook feeds.

The campaign extended to Pinterest for shopping-focused audiences and Snapchat’s Swipe Up units for efficient clicks, ensuring broad engagement across platforms and mindsets.

The Idea
Through always-on Instagram and X content, we empowered users in their financial journeys, backed by influencer campaigns like an artist series for “Self-Hustlers” and The Real Deal video podcast for Financial Well-Being.

The Impact
Q1-Q3: GooglePay saw regular outperformance of engagement rate and follower growth benchmarks across both platforms within community measurement.

Covergirl: Katy Kat Collection

Winner: 2017 North American Effie Award Silver (Beauty)

The Challenge
Stand out in a cluttered category and create excitement with a new Katy Perry collaboration, launched in a fresh, digital-first way.

The Insight

Chase x Pinterest: Dream Boards

The Challenge:
With low home equity loan rates, Chase aimed to raise awareness of HELOC loans among seasoned homeowners (ages 40-50) as a way to fund renovations.

The Insight:
Pinterest research revealed “Pinterest Procrastinators” create “dream home” boards but hesitate to start renovations, often unaware they can tap into their home equity.

The Idea:
We partnered with Pinterest and the Property Brothers to launch “Dream Boards,” a personalized experience offering design and financing tips based on quiz answers. Boards were added to users’ Pinterest pages, boosting organic reach.

Chase was able to personalize product recommendations and target ads using the customer insights gathered from their questionnaires. This connection also simplified the loan application process, making it more seamless for customers.

The 360 campaign also included TVC, short-form videos, and GIFs featuring the Property Brothers’ humor.

The Impact:

Silk: #SwapItWithSilk

The Challenge

The Idea: #SwapItWithSilk TikTok Challenge
Partnering with Kelly Rowland and diverse creators, we launched a TikTok taste challenge, inviting people to swap Silk for dairy ingredients to prove Silk’s flavor. PR, social, and paid media amplified the delicious, dairy-free content.

The Impact:
• 665M Impressions
• 100% positive or neutral sentiment

Meta: Love For All

The Challenge:
In a divided world, February 14th has evolved to celebrate more than just romantic love (think Galentine’s Day). Facebook Consumer Marketing asked: How do we encourage love in all its forms to flourish on Facebook?

The Idea:
The “Love For All” campaign featured two key activations:

8-hour Facebook Live – "The Valentine’s Day Card Factory": On Valentine’s Day, users could request custom cards created by 14+ artists.

Aussie: Sh*t Girls Say About Hair

The Challenge
Create a viral video to boost Aussie’s relevance in the crowded hair care market, where its only recognition was the “purple kangaroo.”

The Insight
Women often avoid life’s moments—like hugging or going to the beach—just to keep their hair perfect.

The Idea
We humorously showcased these #hairprobs with the star of Sht Girls Say*, aligning with Aussie’s message: "There’s more to life than hair." The campaign included viral video cutdowns, memes, and video-listicles for added engagement.

Marriott: Bullseye Quarterback Game

Courtyard by Marriott wanted to raise awareness of their new NFL sponsorship with their target audience: business travelers, but also promote Courtyard’s belief of “Greatness on the Road.”

Knowing our audience was primarily male, tech-savvy, and that he appreciates his downtime, we partnered with Monster Media to create “Bullseye Quarterback,” a fun 12’x9’ LCD touchscreen video game that consisted of a life-size quarterback that users controlled to hit a series of targets on the field.

HOW IT WORKS: With the touch of a finger, users were able to adjust their aim, check power levels and throw the ball at the targets. Those who achieved a high score were encouraged to enter their initials to add themselves to a leaderboard that updated across all seven locations.

RESULTS: We launched them in 7 major US airports, with each airport board generating about 2,000 gameplays per week.
