My partner Nick Schmidt and I wrote these back in 2015, while freelancing at Grey. They were produced in 2017, while we were not freelancing at Grey. Go figure. But, our CDs (Justin Levine & John Sayegh) brought them to life just the way we drew them up.

For these films, I collaborated with the Germany agency known as, Kittel, writing each script together with their team.

Walmart sells everything. So, every couple of months, they make quick spots advertising individual products. Here's a few I wrote. 

The famous Rollbacks mascot, Smiley, is back. And, he's got help this time.

Snacking doesn't mean you're cheating on your diet. Especially if you're eating vegetables. High time we get the word out. 

American Express needed to describe a complex set of offerings in a simple way for Wall Street Journal readers. So, we took to sharp, concise headlines, with a little explanatory body copy. Classic ad approach, really. 

While launching the flagship product of a hi-tech Danish company in the US, it seemed only natural to feature a bad ass trumpet player. We found this guy and decided, well, we're just not as cool as him.

There were other personalities we highlighted, which you can see on the Widex site or in the print example below.
