Coors Clone Machine

Coors Light – the beer that’s Made to Chill – was looking the right way to help during the pandemic. And with non-stop video conference calls making it hard for people to relax and enjoy an adult beverage, they found a new problem to solve: a phenomenon called Zoom Fatigue.

Enter: Coors Clone Machine

To help people take a meeting or two off, we offered beer-drinkers a tool to generate a digital version of themselves. Once created, we helped the user upload the clone to Zoom to serve as a meeting stand-in. With the Coors Light Clone Machine, people working from home finally found the time to enjoy a Coors Light when it was needed most.

Aldi: Get in and out quick

Simple briefs are always the most rewarding, which is why it was such a pleasure to work on this campaign for Aldi. Aldi is all about making grocery shopping a better experience for their customers; hence the tagline Everything we don’t do is for you. For this campaign, our brief was simple: Smaller stores = faster shopping.

Feeding America: The Face of Hunger

Most of the 1 in 8 people struggling with hunger don't fit the stereotypes: 64% own a home, 50% of them are Caucasian, and 66% are employed.

To show that hunger is all around us, Feeding America, a non-profit fighting to end the issue, used Data and AI to create an unbiased representation of it.

This living, breathing face gave a voice to the 40 million Americans struggling with hunger.

The film led to a 49% increase in passion for hunger and a 53% increase in intent to donate.

Brooks Rule40 Campaign: Fighting for All Olympic Athletes

To protest an Olympic rule that dictates what logos athletes can wear during the games (greatly limiting their sponsorship opportunities), Brooks Running created a generic sportswear line and supported it with a digital and outdoor campaign featuring generic messaging. The generic messaging shed light on how severely athletes and brands are silenced during the olympics.
