Jell-O “Mousse Temptations”

Me O’Clock time! Take a moment to indulge in a decadent new Jello spot for Draft FCB!

The final streamlined spot is a yummy reminder to take a little “me” time!

Director, Allen Martinez, ran into a problem after wrapping his shoot in Downtown Los Angeles.

He turned to Blind's Executive Creative Director and Art Center classmate, Chris Do for some help. Blind, happily agreed.

Syfy “Honey Nut Cheerios”

Syfy returned to Blind to bring this co-branded spot with Honey Nut Cheerios to life. The challenge was not only to integrate HNC's unique brand into the new look of Syfy, but also to find an engaging way to promote the new Honey Nut Cheerios Augmented Reality city.

PDFA: Partnership For A Drug Free America

When Ground Zero producer, Randy Morton, called about a cool PSA that required a unique type solution, Blind Executive Creative Director, Chris Do and the Blind team couldn't say no. 'Most of what we do is in service of large corporations. It's nice to work on something that might make a difference,' says Do. All companies involved including Go Film, Ashe and Spencer and Cut + Run contributed time and resources to building a memorable spot. The novel concept gives voice to drugs and alcohol. It's geared as much to teenagers as it is to parents.

Asgrow Delivers

Blind and St. Louis agency Osborn-Barr teamed up to promote Asgrow, a brand of soybean seed, developed to help growers maximize yield, productivity and profitability. With the concept entitled 'Midas Touch,' the viewer goes inside the lab where Asgrow researchers have developed the seed. We see the scientists working and witness as plants magically begin to grow. We move from the lab to the farm and meet a farmer. He's got the touch too! As he surveys his fields in the afternoon light, soybean plants grow behind him. After following our farmer into a vast field, verdant and thriving with healthy soybean plants, the spot resolves by revealing a featured plant holding the legendary five bean pod as the farmer looks on proudly.

Halo 3 Tourney

Last Saturday, 5 teams gathered at Blind for their shot at claiming the Halo 3 Championship title. After some intense gameplay, screaming and trash talking, Team Legz (Reza, Casey, Greg and Dylan) fell a little short of their dream of getting a 'Perfection', and instead, was the first team eliminated from round robin play. The bracket was set: it would be Team Blind (Chris D., Thai, Aaron and Anthony) vs. Team Neo (Mitch, Sunni, James and Brian), with Team FTW a.k.a For The Win (Brian, Erik, Riel and Chris P.) vs. Team Born (Matthew, Jiaren, Joseph and Gus). In bracket one, Team Blind took advantage of the newly formed Team Neo and won straight sets to advance into the semi-finals. In bracket two, Team FTW quickly dispatched Team Born, sending them into contention against Team Neo for the Bronze. A crowd formed to watch the ensuing battle. After the smoke cleared, it was Team Neo that snatched 3rd place.

Walgreens “Affordable Essentials”

America’s Next Top Model promo

This season's image campaign explored the idea of "folds" as a conceptual hook and aesthetic.

Jeep Patriot: International Web Campaign

Web Agency, Organic, Inc. approached us with an interesting challenge of creating an interactive web experience for the 2009 Jeep Patriot international campaign. The task was to create eight :10 second animations which could be interchangeably strung together, forming a "choose your own adventure" test drive. But, this wasn't your typical day behind the wheel. Conceptually, this was drawn from the imagination of one driver's recollection of the most amazing test drive experience. Ever see Sasquatch, a giant octopus, hundreds of colored frogs, and a cloud of singing locusts while on the road?

OppenheimerFunds Web

In these challenging economic times, it's hard to make sense of what's going on. That's why, now more than ever, agencies and their clients are looking for new ways to save money on production while not compromising on creative excellence. In light of the looming economic news, no one would fault a company like OppenheimerFunds for panicking. Instead, they did just the opposite. With the help of agency Euro RSCG, OppenheimerFunds proceeded with a bold new campaign that reaffirms audiences about their long-term, disciplined investment approach. However, they needed a prudent way to move forward.
