1 Second Ad Campaign
Miller High Life endeavored to steal Budweiser's thunder during the Super Bowl despite Budweiser having event exclusivity and a budget 55x that of High Life's during the game. High Life sought to make an economic statement by bringing common sense back to the Super Bowl. The "1 Second Ad" creative idea was rooted in media innovation and successfully leveled the playing field by sparking media wildfire. High Life volume growth during the Super Bowl far exceeded competitors, and the campaign generated significantly more buzz following the game than Budweiser.

Drink Responsibly
In the early 2000s, the beverage behemoths started investing upwards of $50 million annually each marketing their bottled water brands. Soon, people were drinking 8.6 billion gallons of bottled water per year. That's a lot of water and importantly, a lot of plastic bottles. We set out to convert at least some of the 250-million plus bottled water drinkers to Brita filtered water drinkers. And to do that, we asked them to please, Drink Responsibly.

Kia Soul vs. Scion xB
Kia launched Soul to directly compete with Scion xB, and start a conversation with a younger audience than they ever had before. 'Soul. A New Way to Roll' was the campaign rallying cry and it embodied a challenger spirit intent on challenging the category leader, winning market share, and connecting with a whole new audience. Soul's launch successfully sold the cars, stole market share, and embedded itself squarely in popular culture on its way to one of 2009's most successful car launches.
