AES is a leading global power company partnering with the world’s largest corporations and governments to transition from fossil fuel to clean, renewable energy.
To convince the investor community that AES was on the forefront of the renewable energy movement, this campaign features the innovative custom solutions AES creates for its clients as we ask the world’s toughest questions about renewable energy and answer them with an emphatic “Is it possible? YES AES.”
AES is de-carbonizing the internet! This TV and digital spot takes our spokeswoman Mercedes Cornett from Instagram reel to video game to the top of a wind turbine to demonstrate how AES is powering the internet with clean, reliable energy. Is it possible? Yes, AES.
Did you know that mobile phones and electric cars have a large carbon footprint? Because the materials needed to make them have to be mined. AES is powering the mining industry with clean renewable energy. Is it possible? Yes, AES.
Is it possible to de-carbonize a whole city? How about an entire state? Yes, AES.
We segmented different audiences: investors, thought leaders, and prospective clients and customized video messages for them on LinkedIn and other vertical sites.
We created a series of print ads for the Wall Street Journal and bus shelters in major financial districts featuring the testimonials of CEOs and CMOs of some of AES’s largest clients. We also featured notable thought leaders on energy and environmental issues posing the question “Is it possible?” And delivering the answer, “Yes, AES.”
Not only did we flex the new AES brand identity and “Yes AES” campaign with event domination messaging, we also arranged to have all the power consumed during the tournament offset with AES solar grids and batteries.
We proposed collaborating with the hit series “Ted Lasso” by leveraging the storyline of actor Toheeb Jimoh’s character who protests against the team’s sponsor, a fictitious oil company ruining Sam’s homeland with unscrupulous environmental practices.
“Yes AES” was a full-court press from our Baker Street SF creative team and our new Pinnacle parents led by head of strategy Chris Arkell: CWs: Bob Dorfman, Lesly Pyle, B2; ADs: Sara Ingles, Anne To, Ken Woodard; Agency Producer: Brody McHugh; Co-Film Directors: Brian Bacino & Nate Robinson of Ntropic, EP: Mark Dwyer, Editor: Alan Chimenti, FX: Ntropic, Music by Nightmare on Wax, Mix: One Union
Levi Strauss needed to create a whole new brand, different from its iconic Red Tab jeans, to introduce in Walmart and Target. Working with art director Eric Rindal and copy writer Clark Morgan, we dove into Levi’s archives to discover a value brand that Levi Strauss himself offered back in the mid 1870’s. The basis of that value brand formed our new Levi Strauss Signature introduction. We developed a whole new name, logo, identity, brand story, brand book, print, POS and the coolest in-store videos Walmart had ever seen. LSS was the most successful new product launch in company history.

Honda wanted to go beyond just touting its safety features and benefits, and make an emotional connection. We realized that nothing makes the promise of a safe reliable car more important than Family. Just ask anybody who drives a Honda.

This is the second spot in the Honda "Moments of Truth" campaign showcasing Honda's legendary reliability when you need it most.

Levi’s needed to reclaim its throne and become relevant to a new generation. This campaign originated by Suzanne Finnamore and Ken Woodard gave 501 reasons why Levi’s were the definitive American jean. We told cinematic stories to dramatize key product features with films that exploded into popular culture with the help of the world’s best directors. This was the most decorated campaign I’ve ever had the privilege to work on as a Writer and Creative Director.
"Reason No. 241: The button fly, an ounce of steel where you need it most." This epic (and quite controversial) spot, created by Brian Bacino and Steve Fong, stirred Lion-sized debate at Cannes and was eventually stripped of its Gold Lion. Nevertheless, it went on to achieve internet fame partially thanks to its up and coming female co-star, Jamie Pressly. Directed by Tarsem.
“Reason no. 50: The 5th pocket, overlooked since 1873.” This spot I created with Steve Fong was masterfully directed by Tarsem and won Best of Show at the SF ADDY’s, as well as a Clio, and a D&AD award.
"Reason Number 259: Those fashionable copper rivets." This spot created by Brian Bacino and Don Creed, and brilliantly directed by David Fincher, imagined a futuristic tattoo and piercing boutique to dramatize the 501’s copper rivets.

Working with the San Francisco Giants from 2008-2017 was one of the great thrills of my career. From all the amazing work we created to all the fun getting to know the players (with my whole family in tow) was as good as it gets for a baseball loving ad boy like me.

Sega Dreamcast was the first video game console with simple artificial intelligence that could learn a player’s tendencies. Playing off man’s inherent fear of machines taking over society, we created the “It’s thinking” campaign, which resulted in fan hysteria and a record shattering launch.
The campaign imagined that every Sega Dreamcast character from NFL2K to Sonic to Crazy Taxi to Ultimate Fighters and more, all lived together in a Dreamcast city complete with restaurants, DMV, and party houses. Pacific Data Images recreated the characters and athletes like Randy Moss and Jim McMahon so we could show the world how they lived, trained and played together inside the Dreamcast world.
This epic film, hailed by the gaming press as “the greatest video game commercial every made”, launched Sega Dreamcast with an insane adventure featuring a Play Station ninja spy trying to steal the very first Sega Dreamcast console, only to be thwarted by the machine that thinks and its inhabitants: Sonic the Hedgehog, Crazy Taxi Drivers, every athlete from NFL 2K, NBA 2K, MLB 2K, NHL 2K and every Ultimate Fighter from the Sega line up. Directed by John Moore (Behind Enemy Lines).
After the NHL Champion Detroit Redwings finished off a kid from the suburbs, Brendan Shanahan and Sergei Fedorov decide to call the kid on a pay phone and end up flirting with his mom.
Jim McMahon loses his cool at the local taqueria and has to be escorted out by Ultimate Fighters when talking to Randy Moss about how good he has it in Sega’s new NFL 2K video game.
This Crazy Taxi Driver is not making any friends at the DMV and the Ultimate Fighter working there isn’t having any of BD Joe’s antics.
These short :15 teasers dramatize how the Sega Dreamcast analyzes human players, planting the seed that this machine could think - man's ultimate fear.

“Nice Pants” was the longest running campaign Levi’s Dockers ever created. Art director, Steve Fong, and I conceived the idea when Dockers wanted to inject the brand with youthful energy and step away from a reputation as golf pants for old white guys. From Dockers Khakis to Mobile Pants to Dress Casuals, the semi-sarcastic always amusing “Nice Pants” campaign evolved year after year building the brand to record sales.

Levi’s wanted to take over the wide leg jean trend they almost missed. They needed a campaign that would give the late-to-the game brand some street credibility with teens. Oh we did that. We also scared the hell out corporate America and the letters flew in! Fortunately, what made adults nervous made kids buy in and the jeans flew out the door.
Beautifully directed by Jim Sonzero, this campaign launched Levi's Wide Leg Jeans. Man, check out the Trade Towers and the epically cool graphic branding by a young Brian Collins. Possibly my best written voice over copy, ever.
Maybe it’s time for the adults of this world to listen to the next generation. That’s the concept behind this campaign launching Levi’s Wide Leg Jeans, Directed by Jim Sonzero, graphic design by Brian Collins. Kids loved this campaign. It made adults nervous.
I was lucky enough to have worked with the finest directors, editors, and motion graphic artists in the industry, including Angus Wall, who created this type driven spot from a script that originally called for a voice over. Angus was so right.
eBay wanted to shift it’s reputation as an auction site and become known as a mobile shopping experience. We created video to demonstrate the new Go-shopping mobile app and placed QR codes on busses and bus shelters, where people could download the app and go directly to buy merchandise.

When Madison Bumgarner came out of the bullpen in Game 7 of the 2014 World Series, to lock down San Francisco’s 3rd Championship in 5 years, the Giants became forever the pride of the city. However, another champion from across the Bay, the Golden State Warriors, would be coming to SF soon, and the Giants wanted to cement their title as San Francisco’s team. So we gave credit for the colossal feat to the city with our “We are SF. We are Giant.” campaign that featured heart felt interviews with a band of very grateful Giant superstars as well as a Clio winning launch film.

When San Francisco shocked the baseball world to win it’s first World Series Championship we created a legacy campaign and brand line that gave credit to Giant fans and reflected the team’s make up of 25 guys, no super stars, each selflessly playing for their teammate. “Together We’re Giant” not only spoke to the team’s unity and how the fans motivate them to great heights, but also to the character of the entire organization and its involvement with the community.

We won the MTV account at FCB San Francisco in a pitch against NYC’s best agencies by reminding Viacom that while ratings, their very life line, may be tied to new lifestyle and reality shows like “The Real World”, the network’s soul had to remain about music first.
We boldly and unapologetically told their executives that it didn’t matter that the all music video segments came in last in the ratings. We convinced MTV to forgo tune in advertising for specific shows, and instead use the majority of their efforts to reinforce their place as the center of music. We told them its so integral their tag line should simply be, “Music Television” and every musician that visits their studios should be asked to say it in their own way.
I had such a talented crew, including my partner GCD/AD Steve Fong, CW Suzanne Finnamore, AD/Designer Sean Mullens, CW Ward Evans, AD John Benson, CW Jim DiPiazza, AD John Davis and great account people and planners like Patrick Kiss and Bonnie Wong. And none of this could have happened without an inspired client like Alan Broce from MTV.
Brian Singer (Usual Suspects) directed this spot starring Busta Rhymes at the NYC DMV. Then, Ajax has to jump into action when some kid gets ahold of some bad Music Television in a spot created by John Davis and Jim DiPiazza.
Can you identify the rock star from these intimate details? If you watch enough MTV you’d know this is Gwen and Sean. That’s the idea behind this remarkable poster series.
If it’s killing you, email me and I’ll give you all the answers.
This genius poster and outdoor idea from John Benson and Ward Evans invented language that would only make sense if you watched enough MTV

Michael Strahan doesn't care about embarrassing you on Sundays, as he tells me and Steve Fong in this candid interview. What's amazing about this whole campaign is how different athletes sound when you get the camera out of the room. I remember after our interview, Strahan asked Steve and I what we were getting up to later, which we played off as him just being cool and making conversation. It wasn't until we were in the Lincoln Tunnel heading back to our hotel that we realized he wanted to hang out. He’s just a cool dude, as the whole world knows now. Amazing when you realize superstar athletes are just people.
I thought it was pretty cool when Jerry Rice, arguably the NFL's greatest receiver, shut his eyes during our interview and shared this soulful account of what went through his head when the ball went in the air.
