If you have a pest problem, the only way to nix it is to Terminix it. Right? Sure. With this campaign, we showed some of the random types of ineffective attempts people make to DIY their pest problem. Of course these attempts sort of rhyme with the word Terminix. And to sort of help make them sort of rhyme, we enlisted the talent of New Zealand’s own Rhys Darby.

The “Believe” spot was the centerpiece of the Halo 3 integrated campaign.

The idea was simple. If Master Chief was a real hero, how would he be memorialized?

Within this page are the main launch film and the case study for the entire campaign.

The end result was a massive, award-winning body of work that led to Halo 3 being the biggest launch in entertainment history (at the time).

A bunch of very talented people were involved in bringing this to life.

One of the defining features that set the Samsung Galaxy S7 apart from the iPhone was its powerful camera.

So we reached out through Instagram, asking people to send in their shitty photos taken on an iPhone, so that we could 'S7' their pic. In a matter of hours, we'd send them back our re-creation of their photo, taken on an actual S7 camera.

The photo quality was a lot better. And the photo content was a lot more entertaining.

We created some low budget social films for Sandisk and we had lots of fun combing through lots of fun photos of our coworkers. Here’s our favorite one of the bunch.

This section of work is devoted to editors and their amazing ability to make magic out of messes. We shot the first film but and sadly it was shelved. Which happens. But then we were tasked with creating a new campaign combining that footage…with game footage. Needless to say, it could’ve gone very badly. But thanks to our editorial maestros, we still made it sing.

The Gears of War story has changed over the years but one thing that has remained is the push to reflect the franchise’s unique angst and tone through an engaging mixture of visuals and music. For this one, we started with a wild visual narrative focused on our hero Kait’s backstory. And then we paired it with a signature Billie Eilish track that we really put through the audio blender.

I was fortunate enough to work on XBox for a few years and within that time, a number of different games in their ecosystem. Here are some of the spots I enjoyed the most.

“Just edit something together” can be a tricky brief but when you have NFL footage to work with and the scintillating sibling stylings of the Pointer Sisters to make it better then that brief quickly becomes…dare I say…exciting!? Ew, I know.

I enjoyed this project immensely and I wish more marketers would take chances like this.

I'd explain more but it would be best explained in the handy case study to the left.
