Boom Beach Integrated – Dr. T vs Everybody
2015-2016
We worked with the game team to give Dr. T, the game’s main villain, a brand new super weapon to take over Boom Beach.
Then we made a campaign where Dr. T took over the real world, and challenged everybody to come to the game and stop him.
Out-of-home takeover:
Influencer package (winner of a One Show Merit Award):
Boom Beach Started Its New Campaign on TV and Will End It in the Game This Friday –Adweek
A Mad Scientist Took Over the Airwaves to Announce a Super Weapon He’s Dropping Next Week –AdAge
Made with Chris Sheldon and Chase Kimball. Creative direction by Matty Smith, Joey Ianno, Ian Reichenthal (ECD), and Gerry Graf (CCO). Design by Matt Egan and April McMullan. Produced by Cameron Farrell, Daniela Contreras, Wayne Treptow, and Josh Morse.
Clash Royale – 3 Minute Friends Forever
2017
We made a campaign where partners describe what it's like to play a 3 minute match of Clash Royale 2v2 together, in the way that only 2v2 partners can do – collaborating, fixing each other's mistakes, and building off of one another just like they're playing the game.

Clash of Clans – April Fools’ Day
2017
Problem:
Every Clash of Clans player knows there’s a time and place where you shouldn’t be playing.
April Fools’ Day Solution:
Gigantic phone cases shaped like weapons from Clash of Clans, so that no one will ever figure out you’re playing Clash of Clans.
We launched the phone cases on the official Clash of Clans blog at midnight on April 1st. Individual videos came out later that morning on all social channels in local markets.
To amp up the ridiculousness, we made it so you could actually get one of these cases – if you had a 3D printer. 3D printer files and instruction manuals for each case were hosted on the blog.
Made with Christian Chico. Creative direction by Matty Smith, Jeff Benjamin (ECD), and Ian Reichenthal (ECD). Produced by Theresa Reyes. Films directed by Robert Boocheck. Additional photography by Saul Metnick.

Little Caesars – Bacon Social
2015
Little Caesars wrapped a pizza in 42 inches (3½ feet) of bacon.
We made a website that let you wrap your Twitter Timeline in 42 inches (3½ feet) of bacon.
...using precisely 42 image Tweets, each representing an inch of one long strip of bacon.
In just a few weeks, over 5,000 people happily wrapped their individual timelines in bacon. Which worked out to just over 3.3 miles of Little Caesars bacon on Twitter, all without any media spending.
Some of them said that Little Caesars should own the hashtag #bacon.
Some simply thanked us for the bacon we put on their Timelines.
One guy told us we finally figured out how to do marketing on Twitter.
A few even called it genius.
A few were simply confused...
And there was even a point when a staff member accidentally baconed the timeline of the Xbox Support Twitter account.
After a month, the promotion was ending, the pizza was gone, and we took the site down.
Thanks, Taylorisa. Good times indeed.
(P.S. It was more than a day☺)
