400 elves descend on Union Square Park and dance. Just another day in Manhattan?

The most successful online holiday card ever.

It took a choreographer, 3 composers, 410 elves, 2 double decker buses, 4 pedicabs, 13 cameras and an old elf on a Segway. All for 4 delightful minutes in Union Square Park to kick off the 5th OfficeMax Elf Yourself Holiday Card Season. From the Pom-Pom on the hats to the curly toes, no detail of this job was too small

Play the Melt Downs game. Tasty fun for Kraft Cheese.

A simple website and game for Kraft in 10 days.

Kraft Melt Downs had a very funny commercial but a small TV media budget. So moving the commercials online, creating a game and Facebook page, and premiering the exclusive “Coach Meltdown” video on the site was the answer. Of course there were only 10 days to do it all. Done.

The humble Post-it explains how 3M got serious about printing.

HP Enterprise Printing/3M Story

HP takes on Xerox, Canon and Ricoh. With predictable results: HP kicks their asses.
