Intuit Mailchimp | Leap of Fatih
In a dull, fluorescent-lit office, a stop-motion woman is drowning in paperwork. She stares blankly at her cubicle walls—until she notices a calm yoga practitioner outside.

We open on a man and a mannequin sitting at office desks, both hooked up to bright red puppet strings. The man types on an outdated computer, and the mannequin copies him.

His colleagues look bored and unimpressed. One employee reminds him they hired the agency to increase direct bookings—but after eight months, all they’ve seen is a doodle of a smiley face. The woman interrupts, […]
Iterable | Ditch the Cult!
A group of marketers gather in a storage room, dressed in homemade costumes made from office supplies.

She interrupts, suggesting a better way: “real one-to-one interactions” tailored to […]
Adobe Creative Cloud | Keep up with Hovering Art Directors
A designer is working on a ginger beer ad when his art director shows up. The feedback? Confusing and contradictory.

But not […]

Mailchimp | Mail Shrimp
