Carmichael Lynch: Jack Link's 'Workin’ Out With Sasquatch'

Agency: Carmichael Lynch
Client: Jack Link's
Date: February 2017
Beef jerky maker Jack Link’s has released a series of ads that feature Minnesota Timberwolves player Karl-Anthony Towns working out alongside the brand’s longtime Sasquatch mascot.
Created by Minneapolis-based Carmichael Lynch, the ads are an extension of Jack Link’s “Workin’ Out With Sasquatch” campaign, which the brand launched last year in an effort to position itself as the go-to protein snack for athletes. Last year’s spots featured NFL stars Odell Beckham Jr. and Clay Matthews.
The latest round of ‘80s-esque ads star Towns as he jumps over a porcupine, deadlifts a log and fights off a swarm of bees. Another features the basketball player explaining whythe socks, moisturizer, “fully grown North American badger” and VHS version of “Workin’ Out With Sasquatch” are all essential parts of his workout routine.
“Building on the success we’ve seen with Workin’ Out With Sasquatch, we’re expanding the integrated campaign as Jack Link’s jerky continues to protein-power the lives of all types of athletes,” said TD Dixon, chief marketing officer at Jack Link’s, in a statement. “Featuring Karl-Anthony Towns alongside Sasquatch was an obvious choice for Jack Link’s. They’re both tall and share the same shoe size, so naturally we knew they’d get along great.”
The ads are slated to run on channels including TNT, Adult Swim and FX as well as YouTube, Hulu and Funny or Die.

Droga5: MailChimp 'Did You Mean MailChimp?'

Agency: Droga5
Client: MailChimp
Date: February 2017
Despite having a name that's pretty easy to pronounce, MailChimp claims that the e-mail marketing platform has a history of people mispronouncing it (a claim that stems from an audio ad that ran in 2014 before the hit podcast "Serial" in which someone mispronounces the brand as "MailKimp").
The company's oddball name is now the basis of an elaborate marketing campaign that the brand recently launched in partnership with Droga5. Over the past few months, MailChimp has been creating all sorts products, events and videos that play off of its name but don't directly reference the brand in any significant way. For example, the brand recently created three eccentric short films called "JailBlimp,""MailShrimp" and "KaleLimp" that screened in select theaters in cities including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and Atlanta. It also created a line of chips called "FailChips" and an anti-aging beauty treatment called "SnailPrimp." 
One of the largest activations that MailChimp created for the campaign was a song called "Hymn" by Dev Hynes (aka Blood Orange) and Bryndon Cook. The collaboration between the two artists, dubbed "VeilHymn," features an interactive music video that fans can check out at a dedicated website. The song's release received media coverage in publications including Rolling Stone and Pitchfork.
While the eclectic activations spanned categories including food, film, fashion and beauty, the one thing that tied them all together was that they all directed people to MailChimp's website. When people typed in things like "MailShrimp" or "FailChips" into Google, the search engine would ask if they meant "MailChimp."
To commemorate the many activations that have made up "Did You Mean MailChimp?" over the past few months, the brand has released a short video that details why it created a "massive search campaign featuring nine mysterious projects" for its first major marketing effort. 
"We used mispronunciation as a creative device to inspire all kinds of different executions, knowing that people would be curious about what they were seeing and search for more information," said Mark DiCristina, senior director of brand marketing at MailChimp, in a statement. “We have a history of not taking ourselves too seriously and having fun with our name, and this felt like a perfect way to introduce ourselves to potential new customers in a big and creative way.”

La Comunidad: Argentina’s Presidency of the Nation 'Jubilados' and 'Places'

Agency: La Comunidad
Client: Argentina’s Presidency of the Nation
Date: February 2017
Argentina's government has launched a fun campaign to promote the country's many beautiful locations and tourist destinations. Created by La Comunidad, the Buenos Aires office of Miami-based cross-cultural agency The Community, the campaign features couples as they explore what Argentina has to offer. In one spot, a young man and woman try to prove their love for one another by completing feats like mountain climbing, bareback horseback riding and crocodile hypnotizing. In another spot, an older man can't stop yelling "F^#%...it’s good to be alive" while on an adventurous trip with his wife in Argentina.

Zambezi: Autotrader 'Save the Cars'

Agency: Zambezi
Client: Autotrader
Date: February 2017
Zambezi has created a cheeky, PSA-style spot for Autotrader, a platform for car sellers and buyers. Called "Save the Cars," the spot encourages people who are in the market for a new car to consider using Autotrader since every year, thousands of cars "go driverless, with no garages to call their own." The spot promotes Autotrader's "Save Car" tool on its app, which lets users bookmark cars they like so they can receive deal alerts.

VMG Creative: Ripple 'Not Milk?'

Agency: VMG Creative
Client: Ripple
Date: February 2017
Pea-based milk brand Ripple has been on a mission to brand itself as the crème de la crème of the non-dairy milk category. To try and prove its superior status, the brand has created an 8-bit game that it hopes will give players a fun and retro way to learn about the health benefits of milk that is made from peas.
Created in partnership with agency VMG Creative, the game prompts players to answer questions like “Should milk shower you in sugar?” and “Should milk be a good source of protein?” After each question, the game serves up facts that explain why Ripple’s products are healthier than the likes of almond, coconut and cashew milk. Digital and social ads, seen below, are directing people to the game. 
While the game is largely focused around cementing Ripple’s status as a flavorful and healthier alternative to other non-dairy milks, it also takes a swipe at dairy milk. In the game, Ripple says that its milk has “half the sugar” and “a whopping 50% more calcium” than dairy milk (a claim that’s substantiated when compared to Dean’s – one cup of Dean’s Whole Milk contains 11 grams of sugar and 30% calcium).
Ripple’s criticism of dairy milk is largely in response to a recently proposed bill called the “Dairy Pride Act” that some members of Congress are trying to pass. The lawmakers involved with the bill are arguing that plant-based beverages like coconut and almond milk shouldn’t be allowed to call themselves “milk” since the Food and Drug Administration defines the drink as a “lacteal secretion” that is “obtained by the complete milking of one or more healthy cows.”

360i: Oreo 'Space Dunk'

Agency: 360i
Client: Oreo
Date: February 2017
Mondelez’s Oreo has rolled out a mobile game that lets fans of the cookie brand launch Oreos into space and watch them fall into glasses of milk all over the world.
The game, which is part of the brand’s new “Oreo Dunk Challenge”campaign, begins by asking players to take a photo of an actual Oreo cookie. Once the photo has been taken and “cookie recognition” has taken place, the Oreo transforms into a digital version of itself. Players can then swing their phones to determine how far they want their Oreo to go; the faster the swing, the further the Oreo will “travel” before descending and dunking into a virtual glass of milk somewhere across the world.
After the swing, players can watch their digital Oreo’s travels on Google Earth via a short video. In an example video shared by the brand, an Oreo is seen traveling past an airplane and clouds as it ascends into space before falling into a glass of milk that’s situated in front of Stonehenge.
According to 360i, the agency behind the game, the “integration of motion detection technology and geo-location ensures a personalized dunk for each user.” The game, which is launching in the US today and will roll out internationally down the line, was also created in partnership with Google’s in-house agency The Zoo, Carat and Jam3.
The game is the latest installment of the brand’s “Oreo Dunk Challenge” campaign, which launched earlier this month. According to Oreo, the effort is a “global celebration of the brand’s iconic dunking ritual” and is slated to roll out in more than 50 countries. Christina Aguilera, Shaquille O’Neal and Neymar da Silva Santos Jr. are serving as spokespeople for the “Oreo Dunk Challenge," and are all appearing in TV spots for the brand in which they “put spectacular spins on the Oreo cookie dunking ritual.”
