RACING THE CLOCK

I spent about a decade helping clients across the country find creative solutions to problems when their backs were against the wall and resources like time and money were scarce.

Here are a few of my favorite examples of quick creative solves to client problems.

Wrigley Racing Launch

Wrigley was giving away a Dodge Charger SRT8 to celebrate the launch of the Wrigley Racing Team. But after their investment in the team, the prize pool, and the sweeps site build, they had scant resources left to build awareness. Their PR agency Dig (now OLSON PR) reached out to me for help.

With only a few days before the program was set to launch, I took advantage of an ESPN commercial shoot involving the Wrigley Racing drivers and set up a separate shoot next door... and in under three hours, I was able to generate content that drove over 900k people (according to the agency) to the program website.


Wild Justice Launch

Digital Kitchen's new client NatGeoTV needed a broadcast campaign to launch their new series Wild Justice "yesterday."

The executions needed to be SAG, and usable as :30s, :20s, and :15s... and there was no budget.

Initial brief to our air date took 14 days.


Western Union Ramadan

After Western Union's global agency dropped the ball on a Ramadan initiative, I was tasked with having to create/translate/produce/ship 6 different broadcast-ready :15 spots, in six different Middle Eastern languages in 6 different formats, in under two weeks, for under 40K. 

To avoid rights issues, all art (with the exception of the Western Union timeline) was handmade and photographed by director Steven Piet, and the project was produced by the amazing and talented Anna Jung.
