This holiday season, we’re celebrating with a few familiar faces: John Legend, Emma Chamberlain & the Grinch. Because Walmart isn’t just the store that has everything. It’s the store that has YOUR thing.

A shocking 90% of young women report using filters because they feel pressured to look a certain way on social media.
So CVS created a movement for transparency online. Because knowing what’s real can change how we feel.
This campaign was part of a larger CVS initiative surrounding women’s health, called Here for Her. This case study outlines the incredible results the entire body of work garnered.

CVS realized their partner brands were pricing women’s products higher than men’s, for no real reason. So they decided to take a stand against gender inequity.
This social campaign invited people to join the celebration as CVS removed this “pink tax” from all their stores, for good.

We created a variety of social posts to tell the world what CVS was up to.
CVS is also working to eliminate tax on period products nationwide. We created posts like these to spread the word.

After two long years of remote learning, students’ tech obsession had turned into tech burnout. So for Lenovo’s Back To School campaign, we had to bring the joy back to tech.
Instead of leading with discounts like everyone else, our campaign celebrated kids’ individuality and reminded them that their PCs can power their schoolwork… and their imaginations.

BCBS of MN champions those living life to the fullest at every age. So we helped them tell the remarkable stories of real senior athletes throughout the state. Because aging into Medicare should be celebrated, not dreaded or feared.
This two-year campaign included two 30-minute documentaries—which ran on every major TV network in the state—nine :30 TV spots, a print campaign, a series of social videos, and 11 long-form online videos.

We created the “Celebrating You” campaign to show families, employers and Medicare members that SHP truly cares about them and is here to meet all of their special and unique needs. (Unlike the big name insurance companies, where you’re really just a number.)
And wow, we definitely didn’t make production easy on ourselves—with match cuts, child actors, a dog, a sunrise shoot and real people in the mix.
