How we sold a Muscle car to the Masses
Someday not today. This is a story about turning dreamers into buyers. By positioning itself as an antidote to regret and identifying the opportune moments when people would be most receptive to that message, the Ford Mustang got its audience to self-reflect on their prosaic existence and defy their sensible, responsible, side that says no to a Mustang. The Mustang not only became the largest and fastest growing sports car in the country, its 2017 sales figures exceeded those of a lot more mainstream, accessible brands like the VW Polo and the Honda Jazz. Our campaign helped democratise the ‘muscle car’.

White Hats Wanted
Cyber-attacks are wreaking havoc in the United States. As the largest military branch, the Army is responsible for defending Americans from all kinds of threats including cyber attacks. But to do so, they need to attract the few recruits with elite hacking skills. “White Hats Wanted” used a conventional TV ad as a magnet via a coded message that only a skilled hacker would spot. The campaign drew over 1 million hackers into an online vetting process that led to only qualified prospects contacting Army Cyber Command.
