Campfire
Creative Director 9/07 - 10/08
Created multi-layer branded entertainment campaigns and Web phenomena. Our campaign for Verizon FiOS, My Home 2.0, combined an original technology makeover TV show, live events, and a series of bizarro how-to Web videos. I led a creative team and wrote and co-directed DIYs by the show's "techno-guru" hosts, including a Twittering Teddy Bear and Ryan Howard's Hack-a-Bat. The campaign generated over 300 blog articles and outperformed all sales targets.
