Papa John’s

After his now-famous hateful comments, the founder of Papa John’s was dismissed from the company. The brand then brought in new leadership and launched internal programs to promote diversity. But they needed a way to show the public that real change was being made. So, we leveraged a lifelong fan of the brand, Shaquille O’Neal, who became Papa John’s newest board member and franchisee, and helped spread our comeback message, “It’s a Better Day at Papa John’s.”

Papa Johns Brand - Better Day - Store :30

A better day at Papa John’s

We tapped into Shaq’s massive social following to get the word out, reveal new menu items, and share funny skits starring the Diesel himself.

Shaq Attacks Social

We sent Shaq undercover as a Papa John’s delivery driver to surprise real people and help the brand have fun again.

The turnaround campaign led to tons of press, the brand’s highest stock price in years, and the biggest sales day of 2019.

RE/MAX

RE/MAX agents sell more homes than anyone else, but potential clients were being lured away by discount and all-digital alternatives. We needed to remind homebuyers that there’s no replacement for years of experience, especially in those moments when you need a professional agent by your side.

They’ve done this a million times

To help their listings stand out, we built a tool that lets RE/MAX agents create customized videos for each and every listing they represent. Agents can upload their own photos, select which features they’d like to call out, and adjust every title to perfectly fit each listing.

Check it out [here](https://videotool.remaxhustle.com/listing/create/welcome).


A commercial for every listing

We also gave agents the opportunity to add their name, headshot, and contact information to the end of every RE/MAX commercial created in the campaign.

prAna

prAna wanted to reach a younger audience that was indifferent to traditional advertising. They needed a Conversationworthy idea that would make a bold statement and resonate with their audience. So we created the Dream Job initiative - a search for one brave person who was willing to publicly quit their day job, in order to chase their dream profession.

Energizer

Facing a decline in battery usage and struggling to stand out from the competition, the Energizer brand needed to reinvent. We started with a reboot of the company’s greatest asset, who happens to be one of the world’s most iconic mascots. Then we launched his new look across media channels where the brand had never appeared before. Within the first year, battery sales increased by 12.6%, solidifying Energizer as the top battery maker on the planet.

Even though people still loved him, the Bunny was starting to feel like a blast from the past. So we gave him a head to tail makeover for the high-def era.

Built from the paws up

To appeal to a new generation of fans, we brought the Bunny to platforms he’d never explored. We created the brand’s first global Snapchat Lens, iOS stickers, and YouTube :06 bumper ads.

Insurgent Brands

We helped launch a revolutionary food industry incubator, and the parent of RXBAR, with their first visual identity and website. Working closely with the Insurgent team, we also defined the brand voice and built the foundation for the company positioning.

Step inside a life-changing room

Stepping into one of our changing rooms challenged people to step out of their comfort zones. Using footage from the event, we created a social campaign that encouraged prAna followers to be more courageous in their own lives <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/lifeispractice/" target="_blank">#LifeIsPractice</a>

Try on something less comfortable

The team at Ugg wanted more men to give their shoes a try. But 65% of guys didn’t even know Ugg made shoes for men. And those who did, thought of Ugg as a female brand. To change their perception, we chose Ugg slippers as our Trojan horse, giving us a way to break into male closets and convince guys of the brand’s comfort appeal. To headline the campaign, we collaborated with two legends who earn their downtime: the Dude himself, and Ugg spokesman Tom Brady. Then we launched the campaign during Tom’s historic four-game NFL suspension, when he was famously sidelined on his couch.

Do Nothing in UGG

To support the launch, we integrated retail design, digital and social, and partnerships with NFL Redzone. We also created over fifty pairs of custom slippers for celebrity influencers, including Seth Rogen, Dwyane Wade, Rob Gronkowski, and others, earning thousands of free social impressions from those who posted their new kicks. After the launch, we saw a 20% rise in men’s sales and an 81% lift in conversation about the brand.

Partnerships and influencers

Finally, we partnered with stadiums across the NHL network to build the “Do Nothing Penalty Box,” a place where hockey players could kick back and put up their feet in the middle of a hockey game. The penalty box was mentioned continuously during broadcasts, as players entered and exited our branded Ugg experience.

Del Taco

While Del Taco isn’t number one in market share, they do have the freshest food in the category. To tell that story, we launched a campaign starring real employees, who mix, grill and slice around the clock to serve the freshest food you can buy from a drive thru. The campaign led to a 2.7% increase in overall sales in 2018—some of the strongest sales in the industry.

The hardest working hands in fast food

To support the launch, we gave Del Taco a bold new look that nods to their fifty-four-year history, with shapes and textures inspired by their SoCal heritage and Mexican roots.

A bold new look

To drive the campaign, we created the hashtag #FreshAsDel to let fans know exactly what Del Taco stands for in a tone that made people actually use it. We also doubled-down on our social media programs with Instagram contests, new Snapchat filters, and in-store activations inspired by the hashtag.

#Fresh As Del

Eau de French Fry is an artisan bar soap that smells just like Del Taco's world-famous fries. The bars sold out in just 11 minutes, and were listed on eBay shortly after for over $100. Eau de French Fry also got 310+ on-air TV mentions in less than a&nbsp;day.

DISH Network

In an industry ranked last in customer satisfaction, Dish Network was looking to regain America’s trust. So we turned category convention on its ear, introducing a new kind of spokesman inspired by the company’s foundation story. We called him the “Spokeslistener.” The work helped win 2017’s J.D. Power award for exactly what was broken in the industry: customer service.

The RE/MAX logo is recognized around the world. But the brand’s visual identity hadn’t changed since the 70s. Camp + King led a massive effort to reinvent the look without losing brand integrity. Spanning 100 countries and over 100,000 agents, the new identity integrates across every touchpoint, from office locations and collateral, to digital, social, and the most recognized yard sign in history.

Many Millennials think Amazon Prime’s only perk is free two-day shipping, making them less likely to pay for the service. So, we showed them that Prime offers much more than they think—from groceries, to movies, to music, to two-hour delivery—making it a one-stop shop that simplifies their busy lives.

TIG is a bold new snack food contradiction––a savory bar that pairs wholesome ingredients with unexpected junk food flavors. So to spread the word, we created a launch plan packed with as much flavor as a TIG bar.
