This was a 1 month countdown campaign for McDonald’s Third Pound 100% Sirloin Burger, where a different spot would air each day for the month of June. It took a lot to convince the production company that we could shoot 37 spots in 1 day with actor Max Greenfield. With 3 writers on set, we did shoot 37 spots, and managed to finish 90 minutes early.

In 2021, Samsung and Halo/Xbox teamed up to create a 24-hour livestream gaming event on Twitch called “The Samsung Grappleshop”. The Samsung Grappleshop is a futuristic big box electronics store in outer space. The event coincided with the 20th anniversary of the Halo franchise and a new Halo game launching in December called “Halo Infinite”. Participants in the livestream team up in the chat and can control the “Grappleshot” – a new weapon introduced in Halo Infinite. The Grappleshot is attached to Master Chief’s forearm and fires a grappling harpoon. Players in the chat control the direction of the Grappleshot, moving it up, down, left and right in order to fire it and grapple various Samsung and Halo/Xbox prizes, such as 75”/ 65”/ 55” Samsung Neo QLED TV’s, Xbox consoles and Halo Infinite. The winner of the prize is determined by picking at random one of the participants in the chat. We partnered with Mediamonks to produce the event. The big box store was built on a stage in São Paulo, and we connected from Los Angeles and Chicago. We also partnered with members of RoosterTeeth in Austin, TX. RoosterTeeth is an entertainment company that creates various forms of content, including gaming events. They are also big Xbox/Halo fans and we hired them to host the livestream. We had over 45,000 participants and over 7 million viewers. This case study lays out just what a success this event was.

February 20, 2019, we set up the world’s largest scratcher ticket in the James R. Thompson Center in Chicago. It measured 16’ tall x 50’ wide. It had 109 x 10” diameter scratcher circles. The ticket was set up over the previous 2 nights when the TC was closed. Most prizes were cash, but we also gave away tickets to restaurants and the Shedd Aquarium, and items like scooters and snowblowers. We also had a cash cube where the winner went inside and had :30 to grab as much cash as they could. There were also 40 actual scratcher tickets as prizes. Grand Prize was $1,000. Some cash prizes were misdirects - like “Socks” or “Pizza” or “Luggage or “Chocolates” - which when presented - were what they were - but filled with cash. It was a very successful event. See the videos for broadcast that we created from the event in the Illinois Lottery section under WORK.

This was an activation that took place in Ghana, West Africa in 2019. Malaria is a big problem in this region, accounting for 33% of pediatric deaths. SC Johnson has a new Raid product that works in the home for 24 hours, and our task was to introduce it to the locals through an activation that took place over 2 days in Accra, the capital of Ghana. This is the case study we filmed for it.

We held a live event at Walgreens in downtown Chicago. It was to highlight P&G’s new Gillette Fusion Proglide Flexball Razor. The event was titled “Shave A Bear” and it featured NFL Chicago Bears Safety Charles “Peanut” Tillman. Charles demonstrated/shaved with the razor, and then he met with the fans - who took pictures with him and received free razors. There was also a raffle for football related prizes. The other important aspect of this event was P&G’s 50K donation to Charles personal charity - The Cornerstone Foundation - which helps to keep families out of homelessness and hopelessness due to insurmountable medical bills. We shot OLV tease and reveal videos posted here, and produced numerous OOH materials to publicize the event and to handout at the event. Posted below is the case study of the event.

OLV and Social Media work we created in-house at Leo Burnett for Kellogg’s.

These 3 OLV spots for Brooks Running were shot in L.A. over 2 days at 3 different locations plus one half day at a stage for web banners shot against green screen. The people in these spots are actual long distance runners, which was paramount for our client, as there is a huge difference between the running styles/gaits of long distance vs short distance runners. We also shot stills on one of our days for use in print. All in production cost: $188,000.

One more OOH we created for P&G/Gillette’s “Shave A Bear” event. P&G made a donation to Charles Tillman’s personal charity, so we made a giant check to honor the occasion. Along with this, we also made tent toppers, wobblers, product flyers and orange stress balls.
