To help fans get over the fact the cast of GIRLS were leaving them, we created GIRLS Break Up Ice Cream. Three special ice cream flavors were created, and given suitably scathing heart-broken names.

Then on the back of the packaging, we also included something ...
The commercial begins on a hallway at night. We see lightning flash and hear thunder in the distance. The camera moves down on a little girl during storm, who was never allowed to sleep in Mum’s bed. The camera pulls wide and we see a big dog snuggled up to mum in bed. Cut to an endframe where a picture frame of the grown up kid is knocked over and replaced by a picture of the dog. The young woman ...
Most people think they’re skilled enough to drive a little over the limit. The NZ Transport Agency asked us to reframe the way people thought about their own speed.

Tinnyvision was in breach of Snapchat’s terms of use on two fronts. Firstly our snaps were not live. We shot in advance and sent the series of snaps to each new viewer on the day they followed. To appear authentic, snaps were cued to send at a time that matched the time of day in the video. Secondly, we were using Snapchat to hold a branded message. At the time of launch, this was not something th ...
