Physicians Mutual

It’s a good feeling to have someone helping you, especially when it comes to planning for retirement. In this campaign, a dog plays the perfect metaphor for everything that Physicians Mutual offers its clients. And John Michael Higgins goes the extra mile to show a father of the bride just how far Physicians Mutual will go to make their clients happy.

Physicians Mutual Customer Stories

To highlight the joy that Physicians Mutual brings to retirement, we featured actual customers who discussed their experiences of living in retirement with the assistance of supplemental health insurance, with spokesperson John Michael Higgins.

Physicians Mutual Pet

Physicians Mutual launched pet insurance to protect pet owners against high vet bills. Who better than pets to get the word out about the benefits of Physicians Mutual pet insurance.

River Keepers

How do you motivate people to help clean up a river? You paint a water slide over sewage drains so they can imagine the possibilities.

Alabama Tourism

When people take vacations, the truest memories created aren’t those of the big events and sightseeing kind. They are the ones not planned, the little moments… these are the impressions that last in our minds. This campaign focuses on these moments and the emotions we feel when we experience them. It’s an invitation to touch, feel, smell, taste and take it all in.

Alabama Food Contest

Alabama has a way of changing competitive food-eating contests from speed eating to slow eating. Yeah, the food is that good. Maybe it's because of the award-winning chefs who turn local ingredients into irresistible works of culinary art. In fact, there’s a list of the top 100 mouth-watering dishes to eat across the state. This integrated campaign showed what happens when you host a food contest in Alabama and directed viewers to the 100 Dishes to eat in Alabama online.

MATC

A career in the trades is the fastest way to a professional career even though they’re perceived as a less professional career path than white-collar jobs. Plus, most university students rack up huge amounts of debt and after graduation there are few opportunities. MATC offers an alternative with training and certification options for professional jobs that are in demand. In fact, they have an 86% job placement after graduation. It's an opportunity to have a professional career in half the time, at half the cost. Our campaign highlighted this truth nugget and increased admissions.

Bona

Even the toughest of critics can’t argue with the beauty that Bona’s cleaning system can bring to any floor. In this concept, we see that Bona can even impress your mother-in-law.

Milwaukee Bucks

A few years after the "Own the Future" campaign aired, the Bucks grabbed the NBA Championship. Coincidence? Hardly. That’s just advertising working its magic, folks.

Mind Trip

We created a way for people to visit Alabama and take it all in from their computer screen. A hypnotist transported viewers minds to different vacation destinations in Alabama. Pre-roll videos directed viewers to Alabama.Travel/MindTrip where they could take a mind trip to an Alabama destination.

da Vinci Robotic

The da Vinci is a non-invasive robotic surgery system that delivers pinpoint accuracy. It looks intimidating. We gave the robotic machine a persona that emphasized the accurate capabilities of the machine and made it less intimidating to potential patients. 

Sartori Cheese

Sartori produces some delectable artisan cheeses. We created this print campaign to tout their reputation as a leader in creating award-winning cheeses.

Cousins Subs

Can a sub sandwich with fresh baked bread give you a better day? This campaign proves that a little goodness in your gut bucket goes a long way.
 

St. Joseph's/Candler

Healthcare advertising often feels monotonous. With this campaign, we aimed for authenticity and compassion by featuring a doctor's personal story about a specific patient and procedure.

Squatch Speaks

To launch the new Cousins Twisted Subs, we created a TV spot featuring a Sasquatch hunter being called out by Bigfoot for being twisted after seeing him steal a Twisted Sub from a fellow hunter. The spot was tagged with #SquatchSpeaks. When viewers went to #SquatchSpeaks on Twitter they could interact with Squatch and view a series of videos of him setting the story straight on all the misconceptions about his species. He also talked about his newly discovered love for Twisted Subs.

United Performing Arts

The United Performing Arts Fund (UPAF) supports the performing arts by providing funding and awareness. This print campaign shows what happens when the funding dissappears.

Wisconsin State Fair

People love state fairs. Sometimes they even try and recreate that "fair feeling” during the off-season.
 

Fencing Academy

We created a poster campaign for a fencing club that received attention not only from prospective members but also the cable channel TNT. The producers of Trust Me starring Eric McCormack (Will and Grace) requested use of one of the posters on the set of the fictional advertising agency.
