Nobody is happy going through tolls. They take forever. You fumble with your cash or credit card. It just makes you grumpy. Dare we say it can turn you into a bit of a troll. We wanted to show the physical embodiment of that feeling. Enter Lou, the toll troll that shows firsthand how frustrating tolls can be.
We launched a paid social campaign to bring awareness to the hassles of using tolls without GoToll, and Lou helped make that vision a reality. He connected with our audience emotionally resulting in increased installs. No one can be grumpy at that.
Just ok is not ok — AT&T’s brand platform revolves around the notion that if you’re not with America’s Best Network, you’re just getting ok service.
My contributions to this brand include digital work that adapts the core platform idea into concepts that thrive in a sound-off environment. This includes anything from short digital videos to interactive banners to Facebook/Instagram stories and Snapchat lenses/games. The tone of the brand is rooted in humour, which happens to be my favourite tone to write in — yay!

Every year, PC introduces their new summer Must Try product lineup. This year, they wanted to do so in a fun, shareable way that really puts the must in Must Try.
Using slight of hand tricks we created some fun Instagram videos that are a feast for the eyes.
Remember when pickleball was all the craze? You could hear those pops for miles. And the chatter, the laughter… Pickleball really is a different game. A mix of sport and hold my beer. A calling to rekindle what you once loved from yesteryear. To discover something new and something inside of you, maybe you didn’t think you had. No pressure. This is what makes it good.
This was a project to launch a new business venture from scratch. We were tasked with everything from coming up with the business name, logo, design, language, and overall tone. It’s one of my faves.
Most women have experimented with their hair and have run their strands through some torture tests all for the sake of beauty.
We wanted to inspire women to embrace their hair’s natural beauty, to be proud of the strands they were born with and rock what they got. I helped develop a new edgier tone for the brand, bringing it to life with an online video and revamped content for their social feed.

The Run has been going strong for the last 25+ years, but has seen a steady decline in fundraising in recent years. We needed to remind people that breast cancer hasn’t gone away and those who are going through the journey still need support.
We wanted to give the viewer a glimpse into the world of those who have been touched by this disease. To be moved by their strength and be empowered to make a promise to help change the future of breast cancer.

Along with this, we created a symbol that untied all who made their promise to run. Naturally, the pinky was perfect for this, which is why you see it throughout the creative as a way to gain traction for this initiative. As you’ll see below, the response on Run day was great with people proudly showing off their painted pinkies in support. To top it off, we also exceeded the client’s fundraising goal by one million dollars!

Parenting is hard work, and there is no formula for success - it’s an art. But when it comes to the nutrients kids need during every stage of their development - that’s science.
Cerebelly is founded on studying and creating the perfect blend of foods a brain needs as it grows. Our job was to help them get the word out to as many parents as possible.
You wouldn’t use a spritz of water to clean mud or dirt off the floor, why would you on your car? Bottom line is, if you don’t scrub it away you don’t get a complete clean. So why pay for almost clean with touchless?
We wanted to show people how touchless just doesn’t work in comparison to Petro-Canada’s friction based Soft Touch car wash, which is gentle on your car while giving it a complete clean.
We also anticipated people may have questions as to what exactly Soft Touch is and what makes it better. So instead of waiting for them to ask us about it, we went ahead and created some Soft Touch Q&As. As you’ll see below, we repurposed our car wash footage from the main spots and got our VO guy to have at it reading our answers.

We all know the drill when it comes to Christmas shopping - run around from store to store in a dash to get everything on our lists. What we may not know is Shoppers Drug Mart offers an array of gifts all in one convenient location.
With the help of a little Christmas magic, we brought the 'Jolly' back to the holidays.

When you’re going up against the number one cream cheese in the market you need to break through.
And when you know your product is legit yummier, healthier, creamier, spreadier… You wanna tell the world it tastes like more.
Just when you thought you lived through everything... a summer zombie apocalypse. It never ends.
But there was an even bigger problem. No one was ready for it. I mean look at us - we don’t even double-knot our shoes, so no way we’re ready to take on a zombie apocalypse. But we will be… Oh, you bet we will be.
That’s why we created a fun sense of urgency to really give people a reason to get up, get offline, grab their squad to physically head over to Sandbox VR and…
GET ZOMBOD READY!!!
