A viral NFT project that took all 880 Olive Gardens out of the meatspace and into the metaverse. wyhyf!
TD Ameritrade – Tiktoks
Made at Havas with Brian Clifford, Ia Balbuena, , Lindsey Rock, and produced by friends at Studio Sabia
Some pretty silly Tiktoks for the large financial entity known as TD Ameritrade. Made with friends at Havas and Studio Sabia.
The NFT market has been extra spooky this year. Trading volumes have tanked, leaving us saddled with the ghastly remains of abandoned jpegs that might not turn into shares of private islands after all.
In the flesh-bound world, there is a savior in situations like these. When Blockbusters are boarded up and Circuit Cities sell their shelving, the merciful reaper of Spirit Halloween appears to resurrect their rotting corpses into costume carnivals that brighten the dusky firmament of fallen strip malls.
So we’re bringing their macabre miracle to the blockchain. Give us a dead NFT—we’ll burn it—and give you a new version that’s been graced by Spirit Halloween. It’s free, and all you have to lose is a token that gave up the ghost months ago anyway.
Weezer hit up my favorite creative partner—Brian Moore—to help them release their new single “Records.” So we made a site that makes it so that the only way to listen to the track is to spin yourself around in a circle. Like a human record. Scan that little QR code to try it out.
Doni and Nick, this came out good if you’re reading this.
Oikos Cryceps
Made at Lightning Orchard with Grady Linnihan, Perry Morton, Conor Dooley, Jim Lasser, and Jeff Kling
I thought it would be cool to do a supercut of all the draftees letting the waterworks flow after getting that draft call. Made with friends at Lightning Orchard.

Normally you’d see celebs deepfaked into porn. I thought the opposite would be funny. Just playing around with Deep Fake github shit.
Dear Fitness Industry
Made with Jesse Suchmann and Jesse Snyder. It's Jesses all the way down.
Degree wanted to make some noise in the industry about inclusivity, so we decided to craftily call out companies like Peloton with ads and stunts right in front of their main offices. Three bronze Clios, and a few other PR awards. Made with friends while freelancing at Edelman.
USDTea is the first stablecoin backed by cans of AriZona Iced Tea. To stabilize the troubled cryptocurrency ecosystem, we’ve introduced a new token backed by a hard asset that has maintained the same price for over 30 years: AriZona Iced Tea.
While other stablecoins attempt to peg to dollar amounts through questionable algorithms or opaque investment strategies, we guarantee our liquidity with sweet, delicious liquid.
Lots of press
Late capitalism meets neoliberal sneakerhead kitsch on Tiktok—with a wifi enabled e-ink price tag for your shoes that automatically updates with its latest price from StockX.

Build Beyond Words
Made with friends at Havas
A real-time climate rhetoric tracker that worked across all 12 days of the #COP26 conference—including delegate speeches, climate panels, Zooms, Twitter, and more. The data was mined by a blend of manual and automatic entry—to show how meaningless the terms have become.
For discerning trolls, getting blocked on Twitter is a badge of honor. But the only way to brag about it is by posting a screenshot. Enter the revolutionary, world-saving magic of Web3.
Blockedchain is a new kind of NFT that commemorates notable blocks on Twitter. Log in with Twitter, prove that you’re blocked by one of our chosen accounts, and we’ll mint you a commemorative NFT free of charge. With this cryptographically verified token, distributed across a ledger maintained by millions of computers consuming gigawatts of electricity, you can finally prove you’ve reached the hallowed echelon of people Gary Vaynerchuck doesn’t want to hear from.
The supply of these tokens is unknown. We can verify whether someone has been blocked by an account, but we have no way to tell how many people in total an account has blocked. Is Wendy’s more rare than Smash Mouth? Does the CIA even block? Could Elon Musk go on a blocking spree tomorrow and cause a rapid and catastrophic inflationary event triggering disastrous fluctuations in the worldwide price of grain? Only future economists will know, shaking their heads as they toss their copies of The Wealth of Nations atop the smoldering slag heap.
So log in. Mint your block. And be immortalized.
