DEEP DIVE
Making Marketing Funbelievable
Fun theory (it's a real thing, we didn't make it up) tells us that novelty makes things interesting and making something fun makes it feel good. When something is both novel and fun, it becomes intrinsically rewarding and we love experiencing it. What’s more, it can have a lasting effect, because when you do something fun you not only feel good about what you’re doing at the time but afterward you want to do it again. Fun can be mildly addictive which makes it powerful stuff.

“Creepy Treats” Halloween Design Promotion
It may be the Tooth Fairy's least favorite holiday, but we love it. This year we sent out a retro candy sampler to our subscribers in a package designed inspired by old 1950s-1970s Spook Show posters.

Pope for a Day
When the pope visits the US who doesn't get a little giddy? We took a standard manilla envelope, silk-screened a mitre design on it, added an illustrated instruction sheet, and voila! Now you can join in the festivities in style.

Featured in over 10 design awards annuals and publications. It also won Best of Show at Show South.

2018 Atlanta Jewish Film Festival
Branding and Design for Marketing and Event Materials
Inspired by a mash-up of classic Hollywood, nostalgic poster art, and old newspaper movie listings, we turned it up to 11 to get the word out for the 2018 Atlanta Jewish Film Festival.
From print ads to bus shelters. From digital billboards to promos on the big screen. We're bringing the festival to new audiences and keeping it connected to old ones across Atlanta with this unique, neo-nostalgic vibe.

Dinosaur Day
For 2019 Dinosaur Day we put together a b-movie-style clip to share on Instagram. Of course, when you have a side-hustle selling limited-edition dinosaur model kits you sculpt and cast yourself, every day is "Dinosaur Day".

Cartoon Network
“Adventure Time” Promotional DVD Packaging
To reward the fandom and celebrate the success of Cartoon Network's hit show "Adventure Time" (plus sell some DVDs), Cartoon Network created a limited-edition DVD that included a fleece hat like what the show's protagonist wears. We worked on developing and producing the packaging as well as the DVD title screens.
Rick and Morty
“Pickle Rick” Giveaway
We've all tried to turn ourselves into a pickle to get out of family counseling, right? OK, maybe just Rick and me. But the next best thing to being a pickle is having a hand-made, life-sized (pickle-sized, actually), Pickle Rick action figure to take on all your inter-dimensional adventures.
To make this possible, we put together an animated website for your chance at the big (once again, pickle-sized, actually) prize. We love you too.
