the law:

The masters is only for old stuffy white dudes.



As Creative Directors on the Masters, our goal was to expand viewership to new, golf-adjacent fans and elevate the tournament from a sporting event into a cultural one. Our strategy was simple, highlight the traditions of the Masters that had the most cultural relevance and then give those traditions a fresh coat of paint.

Pimento cheese poppers anyone? 









Road to the Masters Invitational.


An E-Sports tournament? At Augusta?!
We partnered with EA to host the first ever “Road to the Masters Invitational.” We designed the space, signage and even a new jacket for the winner.








Rae’s
Creek
Reserve.

What is a Masters party without the unofficial, official cocktail of the Masters, the Azalea? To drum up excitement for watch parties, we created a limited release vodka distilled from the most legendary water in golf, Rae’s Creek. After all, fans don’t just watch the Masters, they drink it.

the law:

In the real world, goliath kills david. 



OKRPWho?
A small talented team at a unknown midwest agency won the most storied account in advertising with one simple thought: The King Doesn’t Wear the Crown, Our Customers Do. That was the crux of our new ethos for BK - an evolution of their classic tagline that not only serves as a positive affirmation but injects new life into a brand that was struggling to resonate with today’s overlooked audience. This idea unlocked a relevant, self-aware brand spirit which reinvented Burger King’s advertising, reinvigorated employees, and re-established their place within the QSR universe. My partner and I served as the anchor CD team on the pitch, helping win the account.

that Sounds nice. But do you really mean it?

We truly made the customer king by inviting them to f*ck with our iconic sandwich, the Whopper, in our first  brand act under “You Rule.”

the law:

dads & grilling are uncool.



All dads have a pair of grilling shoes - they are kept at the door closest to the grill. They are normally a mashed down, over exhausted pair of sneakers. As the unoffical home of grilling, Ace thought it was time dads and grilling shoes got thier glory.
