vitaminwater is an incubator of pop culture. when we set out to engage vitaminwater’s target demo, we strive to bring breakthough content. by creating this spot, we aligned a breaking story (how david wright put on so much muscles in the off-season), a seasonally relevant partner (david wright), and a current pop culture phenomenon (“the situation”).  and of course we delivered the story in our irreverent, witty, youthful brand voice.  The video was featured on ESPN, E! and on various sports/entertainment blogs. Total views are currently over 1.2 million.

50 Cent and vitaminwater have an incredible partnership. Everyone knows his relationship with the brand and his very own flavor, forumula 50.  The concept for the Liquid Assets campaign was to show that 50 cent was not just an investor in vitaminwater, but that he actually created and formulated his flavor himself. Showing 50 Cent in a humorous lifestyle campaign, we showed his involvement with the brand starts in the lab.</description>

The objective of the champs rebranding project was to enhance or redesign the logo identity for mega sports retailer Champs Sports. This new mark scored well in testing and was intended to be extended across multiple categories (store signage, online, mobile, apparel, etc). The goal of the branding was to be modern and progressive, as well as reflect the brand characteristics of Champs Sports. My goal was to create a new branding that targeted the high school male athlete who’s style is defined by the sports he loves.</description>
