Gravity, space, luxury, performance were the simple words we took to drive our concept to executing

Samsung Tab S7 Lite

We started with a simple yet powerful insight: Study is better with play.

Then, we brought our story to life with a twist.

As universities around the world reopened, we launched Samsung Galaxy Tab S7FE with an explosive film celebrating the return to campus life.

And as a not-so-subtle “FUCK YOU” to competing brands, we made the included S-PEN our star.

From reuniting with your crew to cramming in the library. From pools and courts to daydreams defying gravity.From sharing study tips to bringing it all back to the quad.

This is our anthem to the student experience, made better with Samsung.

My gratitude to everyone it took to make this little film the best it could be.

Mamba Mentality

KOBE 8/24

To explain to the world what the Mamba Mentality is really about, we created a highly energized film, launched at exactly 8:24 AM on 8/24.

During the 2017 NBA playoffs, Kobe was quoted as saying "My phone line's always open to have a conversation and talk about basketball”, when being asked about his mentorship of NBA players such as Isaiah Thomas and Kyrie Irving.

On 8/24, we opened Kobe’s line to athletes all over the world. 

We set up a special Mamba Hotline phone number that Kobe messaged out across social. Fans who called were greeted by a voicemail from Kobe asking them to leave messages of their questions on the Mamba Mentality. Kobe would then select a few to answer later that day on Facebook live.

The hotline immediately exploded, within 8 hours we had:
35,000 phone calls
12,500 voicemails left
34,900 minutes of messages

We got some coverage.

Samsung QLED TV | Global Campaign
 

As a global campaign, our challenge was creating TV spots that could be understood visually, with little to no copy. I helped with concept development and campaign ideation - identifying everyday scenarios that capture the telling reactions people get from watching TV. I also helped with script writing - finding a perfect balance of comedy and quality.

Great Stuff Pro

There are some things that only construction pros know. One is what goes down at the job site. The other is that there’s no foam sealant quite like Great Stuff Pro.

Scream Through Earth

Have you ever dreamt of digging a hole from America to China? Well we did it!

A physical installation allowed us to create an illusion of a real hole which let people speak to each other from Hong Kong to Los Angeles.
