Former McCann Creatives Reunite at SF-Based H&L

A trio of McCann ex-pats including Jacob Ford, David Swope and Rob Bagot, who worked at said agency during the mid-aughts, have once again joined forces at H&L Partners, the San Francisco-based shop formerly known as Hoffman/Lewis. Ford (pictured), who has spent the last four years as digital creative director at ATTIK (working of course on Scion), has joined in the same role at H&L while Swope, who’s served as ECD at TiVo for the last three years, has assumed the role of ACD. Bagot, meanwhile, leads the creative charge at H&L, where he’s already spent the last three months as partner/chief creative officer. Along with McCann, the creative head also served as group creative director at Eleven and had a senior creative role at BBDO.

Regarding H&L, which of course saw its co-founder Bob Hoffman leave earlier this year, Ford says in a statement, “I enjoy traditional agencies with digital sensibilities, like H&L Partners. They recognize that the most important thing is the idea, which can extend into any medium. Also, they are more of a tight knit group with everyone keen to learn new things.”  Along with the San Francisco office, H&L also has a space in St. Louis and counts clients including McDonald’s, Toyota, Slingbox and USC.

Time Out magazine: The Stolen Phone Tour

There are many sources for people to find things to see and do in Shanghai. But Time Out goes deeper than others, to find the hidden gems of the city. The challenge was to demonstrate this in a meaningful, attention-getting way. Doing so would help differentiate Time Out Shanghai, increasing its readers and users, and making it more attractive to advertisers.

The insight is really in the product itself: Time Out Shanghai digs deeper into the city to find hidden gems that might not otherwise be discovered.

To demonstrate this, we created the Stolen Phone Tour. We purposely “lost” Time Out Shanghai’s cell phone, and placed it on a random street in Shanghai, available for any passerby to pick up. Once someone did, they received a text: “Get in the London cab that just pulled up.”

The cab, a nod to Time Out’s London roots, would carry the phone snatchers around the city to discover places they would have never found on their own. The only communication was through text messages on the phone. Each stop along the way was captured by hidden camera.
