Bloomberg Television - Smart moneymen prefer the profitable truth


Everyday, the dynamic growth and cannibalism of man, market, and manufacturer starts and stops at the glow and fade of the green and red arrows of the LED tickers around the world. At whose expense is this eternal parry and risposte made? Why, those who don't watch Bloomberg Television, of course.

What's the weather like in Miami? And more importantly, is grandma's wide brim hat back in style? The H&M Widget tracks the latest and the greatest trends in fashion and weather so you'll never get caught with your pants down without a cute bikini that says "Best Granddaughter in the World."

Reasons Not to Own a Car - by Zipcar


I get it. Your mom gets it. You get it. Cars are fun to have, make grocery shopping bearable, and let you practice your karaoke debut of Burning Flame by Vitamin Z.

Which, once you're made aware, you never forget.



Chan Family Choy Lee Fut School of Martial Arts


Learn the art of self-defense so authentic that by the time you understand what your kung-fu master has been saying, your hands and feet will be fluent in the language of pain.


Midas Brake Center - Print and Interactive Campaign


Scout's honor! Though I always put the highest octane fuel into my car, I can't for the life of me remember having the brake pads checked or replaced. After all, stopping ain't half as fun as going, but neither is plowing through a parade of pretty paraplegics or purple-plumed pigeons. Mimes, on the other hand, should never forget: "accidents" happen.





This campaign is accompanied by a flash game, called Careen. It's an out-of-control race against dropping brake fluid pressure and time. Resurrecting print campaign characters Mimey, the UPS guy, and Bambi, your objective is to get to the Midas Brake Center without careening into them. Do so without raising your insurance premiums and your wallet, loved one, and pet deer will love you forever. And so will Midas. Because it's better to think ahead than to think fast.
