South Park Takes Over the Denver Broncos’ Stadium
When South Park announced a COVID-themed Pandemic Special, marketing followed suit. Knowing South Park fans love the NFL©, and with COVID limiting attendance, the vacant seats of an empty stadium were the perfect place to get noticed. Comedy Central brought the town of South Park to Mile High Stadium in Denver, filling empty seats with 1,800 cutouts of characters from the show’s 23 seasons – and people took notice. South Park’s special was the highest-rated cable telecast of 2020 and the highest rated South Park episode in seven years.

Cut Out the Bullshit
2020 was the most deadly year for gun violence in America on record. But with the torrent of overlapping crises in the news, the gun violence crisis was getting lost. How could Change the Ref, run by Manuel Oliver in memory of his son Joaquin, maintain attention for the white-hot gun control issue among its harshest critics (white male gun owners)? With just $1,000, we found the answer at the intersection of fathers, sons and America’s favorite pastime: Baseball.
