Chevy Silverado

It’s the Official Truck of Real People.

Chevy Cinema Integration

The strongest, most advanced Silverado ever was built to tow. This first-ever media placement in movie theaters ran just prior to the coming attractions on 14,878 screens in 2,346 theaters across the country.

Jimmie Johnson Tribute

We gave fans a way to be there for Jimmie Johnson during his final NASCAR season, because retiring during a pandemic year meant he wouldn’t get the farewell tour he deserved from his fanbase. We put out the call for #JimmieTributes on Instagram and Twitter, then created micrography art from those heartfelt words. The art made its way onto a full-page USA Today ad, a billboard, a video, multiple social executions and a NASCAR.com takeover. All of this work will be displayed soon.

Nanoblock

The smaller the blocks, the better the detail. Nanoblock is the David to LEGO's Goliath in popularity. But they are 1/8th the size, which makes a huge difference when it comes to detail.  This campaign made the Communication Arts Advertising Annual, won Best of Show at the D Show in Detroit and was runner-up in the USA Today $1,000,000 Print Challenge.

Corvette Coffee

In a 24-hour long race, humans need fuel, too. The caffeinated kind. We engineered a supercharged blend called Corvette Coffee for Corvette Racing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Chevrolet

Real people. Not actors. This campaign is part experiential, part experimental. It's also ranged from long-form cinema to 30-second spots, and from pre-roll to social videos and more. So far, surprising real people with fun scenarios and impressive Chevy vehicles has increased sales steadily since the campaign began.

Etch A Sketch

Shake It Up, America! When a senior advisor to a presidential candidate slipped up, we were there to catch the attention with an intelligent response campaign. Feeding the media frenzy resulted in coverage by every major news outlet for our clients, as well as a Silver EFFIE.

EV

EVs (electric vehicles) are what’s next for Chevy. But they’ve always been a big part of who Chevy is. This smart, simple demonstration can be seen on Chevy.com and elsewhere, but will soon roll out in a bigger way as proof of Chevy’s commitment to an all-electric future. 

GMC Yukon Pitch

My partner Dave Muller and I went to Dubai to work on a pitch for GMC Yukon in the Middle East. With the help of the talented team at FP7 McCann, we came up with the two directions that went to clients, one of which won the account. Classical Arabic Poetry is an art form practiced by many in the Middle East. The subject of poems is sometimes the writer's automobile. We found that GMC Yukon devotees had written many odes to its power and luxury. This inspired us to use that truth, those words, as the basis for our campaign idea. Below you'll find the pitch video that won the account followed by what it evolved into when the FP7 McCann team produced the launch spot.

Chevy Sonic TV

We were asked to brand Chevy Sonic on a global level. This spot is running almost everywhere, including Canada, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Peru, Russia, Argentina, Thailand, Colombia, Chile, Korea and a few other countries. Hence the lack of dialogue. Because while youthfulness translates easily, language doesn't always.

Dale Jr. Retirement

Dale Earnhardt, Jr. will go down as the most beloved athlete to his sport. More than Jordan, Gretzky or anyone else. That's not up for debate. He's been loyal to Chevy his entire racing career and deserved a fitting sendoff for taking us along for the ride.

Marvin Bolo Tie Pasta

The pasta isn’t real, but the original thinking behind it is. This self-promo social campaign on LinkedIn and Facebook introduced me as a new freelancer to the Austin ad community in an appropriately quirky way. And it worked, resulting in new connections and a long-term gig right away. AgencySpy even wrote a tasteful article about it.
