Jon Glaser and Beth Dover Share a Goofy, Gory Moment in Ubisoft’s ‘Watch Dogs’ Lesson

There are only so many ways to market a dystopian action-adventure video game–at a certain point, live game-play trailers and trope-heavy end-of-the-world storylines can blur together. But for the launch of “Watch Dogs: Legion,” the third title in Ubisoft’s “Watch Dogs” series, agency Funworks zeroed in on an unusual aspect of the game. Rather than…

Hellmann's: The Restaurant With No Food


Media
Hellmann’s

Have you ever looked into a full fridge and thought “nothing to eat”? It’s a common problem. Because of it, millions of perfectly good ingredients end up in the bin. How can Hellmann’s tackle this? We created a unique dining experience: a gourmet restaurant with no food. Instead, we invited people to bring whatever’s left in their fridge to our restaurant. Our celebrity chefs then transformed their forgotten ingredients into five-star meals, proving how Hellmann’s can combine almost anything. And instead of the bill, we surprised people again with a recipe of their meal. But more than just an immersive installation, our restaurant saved thousands of ingredients, inspiring people to see the food in their fridge in an entirely new light.

TD Bank: Coin Poster

Direct Marketing, Design
TD Bank

78% of parents feel they aren’t successful at teaching their kids about money.

Let parents know that TD has the tools to help them spark money-related conversations with their kids.

In just over 5 hours we gave away 1,000 posters to parents and kids that targeted an item that the kids would specifically like to save for.

78% of parents feel they aren’t successful at teaching their kids about money. During Financial Literacy Month, TD Bank created a tool to help parents teach. The TD Poster Bank is a tactile savings account for kids. Along with their parents, kids could pick the item they wanted to save for and over time insert the coins needed to buy it. When all the slots were filled by the appropriate coins, the item could be bought. Each coin saved was an opportunity for parents to educate their kids about money.

We created a set of 21” x 36” esca board posters, each featuring a shape of an object that a kid would desire…like a musical instrument, video game, toy and electronic accessory.

We created the shape of each item on our posters using custom coin grids, then I-Cut the coin shapes to fit the different coins circulating in Canada.

We determined how much it would take to actually buy each object, then designed each poster to visually depicted the total number of coins a kid would need to insert in the poster to buy their chosen item.

1000 posters were handed out to parents and kids in just over five hours. Parents that initially refused to take a poster, came back to take one after considering the actual benefit for their kids. As a campaign, TD’s Financial Literacy initiative saw a 100% increase in web traffic to td.com/kidsandmoney.
