		<description>Not just a new product, a new chapter.

TOMS was launching a brand new product line. The company that had been synonymous with shoes was growing into something bigger. This campaign became more than a new product launch. It repositioned the company from a shoe company to the One for One company. 


ANNOUNCING THE NEXT CHAPTER
&#60;img src="http://payload21.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/2730855/box2_2.jpg" width="670" height="377" width_o="670" height_o="377" src_o="http://payload21.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/2730855/box2_2_o.jpg" data-mid="13970378"  border="0" align="left"/&#62;
Blake Mycoskie, the founder of TOMS, announced the evolution of TOMS during his keynote speech at SXSW. Rather than talking about a new product, he spoke about the “next chapter” of TOMS.

A PHYSICAL TOTEM
&#60;img src="http://payload21.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/2730855/box1.jpg" width="670" height="377" width_o="670" height_o="377" src_o="http://payload21.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/2730855/box1_o.jpg" data-mid="13970354"  border="0" align="left"/&#62;
At SXSW, Blake introduced the Next Chapter box, a physical totem containing the new TOMS product.  It became the symbol of the company's evolution.

OUT INTO THE WORLD



After the Next Chapter box appeared at SXSW, Blake took the box out into the street and captured people's reactions. This video became a teaser for the next chapter of TOMS, shared online and avidly commented on by TOMS fans.

The mystery box started popping up all over the country, in high-traffic locations, as well as in participating stores, where the boxes were later unlocked during a live launch event. A QR code on the box played the video of Blake traveling with the box, giving people more context.

OPENING UP THE CONVERSATION


The next step was getting people talking. This video sparked the conversation and challenged people to think not about a new product, but about a new way they want to make an impact, One for One.

STAR POWER


Stars like Ben Affleck got involved to share their One for One.

LETTING THE FANS OWN IT

On Facebook, people could visualize and share their hopes for the future of One for One by creating their own Next Chapter box.

THE LIVE REVEAL


The highly anticipated launch took place in a live event streamed online and synchronized with the opening of Next Chapter boxes in stores around the country. The new product: TOMS Eyewear.

The announcement was followed by a 12-hour celebration with live music, live artwork, and a sale of sunglasses from a food truck.

Every detail of the product design and packaging helps educate buyers about the impact they're making. The campaign reimagined the existing TOMS branding of the three stripes in conjunction with the One for One mission, and gave each stripe, and each participant, a role in the story. 'Every stripe tells a story' became a theme throughout the campaign.

On the TOMS website, the new product was integrated modularly alongside the shoe section. People can seamlessly go from learning the story of TOMS Eyewear, to shopping and even trying on their own pair virtually.

		<description>Advertising shouldn't be the business of annoying people.
I teach one of the only media-agnostic classes at Miami Ad School. It’s called Never Annoy. I challenge my students to make ads worth spending time with. Many aren’t ads at all. We also present work to real clients. It’s a riot.
WHAT IT'S LIKE

The skills I teach are focused on creating an experience for customers. As a media-agnostic class, students have to decide in what ways they want to engage customers, and how they’re creating value both for the customer and for the brand. They also have to step outside the realm of traditional advertising and suggest ways to actually improve the way a brand does business. 

For their first big project, students have to tackle a major brand whose advertising annoys them. Then, for their final project, they work with a local brand or mom &#38; pop shop and present work to the actual client. Real world stuff. Here's some of it.

Took to heart the client’s desire to stay small and high-end. Created ways to maximize the retail opportunity at local markets and push beef jerky into a premium niche. Showcased the process by putting the actual recipe on the packaging and created a gift package for vegetarians just in time for the holiday season, building off the true story that the jerky once turned a vegetarian. The client LOVED it. Team: Josh Yeston &#38; Mike Grosso

Created awareness around the artistry of Casey’s handmade rubber stamps. Used other local businesses as a promotional opportunity, making custom flipbooks, tear-away posters and wrapping paper for those locations. Gave customers a personal timelapse video on Facebook to showcase how their stamp was handmade just for them. Casey gave us all rubber stamps as gifts. Team: Karen Bueno &#38; Drew Meiser

WHY I DO IT

I see advertising, at its best, as a very useful industry. It helps businesses do business better. Creates better experiences for their customers. Tells a more compelling story. Or, better yet, gives people a more compelling story to tell.

At its worst though, advertising is extremely annoying. Being able to buy people’s attention often replaces making something attention-worthy. To me, the fact that people can avoid ads is great news, because what they’re really avoiding is annoying ads. The good ones get sought out. And many of the good ones aren’t what you’d normally call ads anyway. So I push my students to make those.


HOW I OPENED MY FIRST CLASS

As people in this business (which granted you are not – yet) we sometimes get so wrapped up in doing our jobs that we forget what our job is. And what it’s not.

We are not in the business of annoying people.

But sometimes it feels that way. And the worst part is, we go along with it. I mean, who really thinks people say "Cool! A banner ad!"

Maybe someone says – well if I have to watch this preroll ad on hulu, at least make it somewhat entertaining. If I have to watch these TV ads, at least make them less annoying. 

Is that all we can aspire to, as an industry? “If we have to annoy people, let’s try to annoy them as little as possible?”

Well, at some point in your working lives, the answer might be ‘yes.’ And that’s if you’re one of the good ones, which I’m sure you would be. The ones who want to do work that people don’t HATE. Not to say anyone wants to do work people hate. Nobody goes out with that in mind. But it’s only the good ones who are constantly aware how easy it is to do that, and how important it is not to.

Not all fights will be won. You will, most likely, have to make a banner ad at some point in your career. And when you do, I hope you’re able to make it so it annoys people as little as possible. Who knows. Maybe it’ll even be interesting. For a banner ad.

But despite all that, and all the flaws in a system that may only get worse before they get better, if they ever get better at all, we are not in the business of annoying people.

We are in the business of helping others do business.

Helping them be better at what they do.
Better at making people happy.
Better. Smarter. More efficient. 
And ultimately, profitable.

Our job is to make other people successful.

It’s almost a selfless mission, if we ignore the realities of crazy egos and massive paychecks.

You know all this. I didn’t come up with it, and it’s hardly news. But like all simple truths, it easily gets forgotten. So this class is about bringing it back to the basics. How can we help a business do business better.

In this class, we will think of ourselves less as advertisers, and more as consultants. Some of our solutions might require advertising. Or not. It can be a big or a small plan of action. Whatever it is, it needs to be annoyance-free.

		<description>Let your audience own your message
&#60;img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/2705589/uw_header.jpg" width="670" height="377" width_o="670" height_o="377" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/2705589/uw_header_o.jpg" data-mid="13771157"  border="0" align="left"/&#62;
The Unwasted Weekend campaign was a first for Above the Influence. After historically promoting an anti-drugs-an-alcohol message to teens, the brand allowed teens to be the voice of the brand and actually inspire one another. Through a mix of high-profile media partnerships and grassroots social media tactics, the campaign got teens to make the most of their weekends by staying above negative pressures.


GETTING TEENS ON MTV




The campaign used innovative media partnerships to spread the message, and put real teens in the spotlight. In partnership with MTV, we helped real teens make their ultimate Unwasted Weekend a reality, documented their adventures, and aired them on MTV and MTV.com.


TEENS MADE THE SOUNDTRACK


Teens competed to create the Unwasted Weekend anthem. Five winning songs were then professionally produced and compiled into an album available to download.


SPOTLIGHT AT JINGLE BALL
&#60;img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/2705589/jingleball.jpg" width="670" height="377" width_o="670" height_o="377" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/2705589/jingleball_o.jpg" data-mid="13733371"  border="0" align="left"/&#62;
The winning anthems got premiered at NYC’s JingleBall, the ultimate teen concert, headlined by Lady Gaga, Kelly Clarkson, and LMFAO. Winners also got interviewed on national radio, becoming spokespeople for the campaign.


TAPPING INTO THEIR STARS


More than a dozen teen stars, like singer Greyson Chance and Aimee Teegarden of Friday Night Lights to YouTube sensations Karmin, became spokespeople for the campaign. Celebs launched weekend challenges that gave teens fun things to do on the weekend while staying above in influence.


AS SOCIAL AS TEENS ARE
&#60;img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/2705589/challenge.jpg" width="670" height="377" width_o="670" height_o="377" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/2705589/challenge_o.jpg" data-mid="13774032"  border="0" align="left"/&#62;&#60;img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/2705589/post.jpg" width="670" height="377" width_o="670" height_o="377" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/2705589/post_o.jpg" data-mid="13774038"  border="0" align="left"/&#62;
The challenges got teens to share content tagged #unwastedweekend all over Twitter, Tumblr, and YouTube, becoming brand advocates to their friends. 


LETTING TEENS CAUSE DRAMA
&#60;img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/2705589/event_fix.jpg" width="670" height="377" width_o="670" height_o="377" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/2705589/event_fix_o.jpg" data-mid="13770790"  border="0" align="left"/&#62;&#60;img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/2705589/statuses2.jpg" width="434" height="493" width_o="434" height_o="493" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/2705589/statuses2_o.jpg" data-mid="13729056"  border="0" align="left"/&#62;

Teens even spread the word about the campaign through a Facebook status that spread like wildfire, playing off teens’ love of all things drama.

HI-FIVES FROM THEIR STARS
&#60;img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/2705589/website.jpg" width="670" height="377" width_o="670" height_o="377" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/2705589/website_o.jpg" data-mid="13773469"  border="0" align="left"/&#62;&#60;img src="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/2705589/Screen shot 2012-01-30 at 7.05.03 PM.png" width="357" height="608" width_o="357" height_o="608" src_o="http://payload20.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/2705589/Screen shot 2012-01-30 at 7.05.03 PM_o.png" data-mid="13734738"  border="0" align="left"/&#62;
Recognition was the biggest motivator for ongoing participation, and it came from the people teens cared about - their stars. After every challenge, stars recognized teens on their own social media platforms, as well as on the Above the Influence site. 


TRAILERS FROM REAL WEEKENDS





Throughout the campaign, real teen weekends were featured in ads that played up the epic nature of an unwasted weekend by giving it the movie trailer treatment.</description>

Everyday, 83 Americans are killed by gun violence. 8 of them children and teenagers. The idea is simple, highlight the facts that contribute to the death counts in the form of an equation. The result is a powerful message that traces back to the loopholes in gun regulations in America. 

The message lives on one of the largest billboards in America, at a massive 252' X 20', in a high-traffic area of Boston. To increase the sense of urgency, a live digital counter within the billboard counts the children killed by guns under current gun regulations.

		<description>The Parks as birthright

CONCEPT

The National Parks belong not to the government, but to every American. This often forgotten fact is the basis of a campaign that echoes the constitutional rights and inspires a sense of pride and ownership. The simplest expression of this idea: The National Parks - For all.

MANIFESTO

The fundamental ideals this country was built upon come to life in the National Parks. 
All men are equal. 
All men are free. 
These ideals are not just hopes or aspirations. But inalienable rights that form the very fabric of this country, and its culture. 

Like the ideals they reflect, the Parks are a birthright for all Americans. They are our common ground. Our common heritage. And our common identity as people of this country.
Perhaps more than ever, it’s time to celebrate the National Parks. They give us tangible proof of something to believe in. The spirit that shaped this country.

One nation
Indivisible
With liberty
And justice
For all.

This is the simplest expression of our fundamental principles as Americans. Our values. Our rights. And all that is worth fighting for.

The National Parks.
For all.</description>

		<description>Politicians were children too

CONCEPT

This campaign flipped the script of traditional cause-marketing. Focusing on the world's most powerful individuals, it created messaging that was not a plea to them, but an empowering vision for the future, seemingly coming from their own perspective. As a pledge to the children of the world, the creative referenced how adults frequently communicate with children, through stories or songs.

Taking a page from Dr. Seuss
This local newspaper ad targeted some of the most powerful political leaders during a major political convention.

A LULLABY for Leaders
This lullaby was created for the Minerva conference, an assembly of influential women everywhere. Keeping with the childlike tone, it would play before Bono, an advocate of the cause, took the stage.

Lyrics
Hush little baby, don’t you cry 
We’re gonna make this world alright 
We’re your mothers, your sisters, and your friends 
We’ll lead this world to health again. 
We’ll reach the women by your side 
Help them give you reasons to smile 
And joined as one, from everywhere, 
We’ll craft a world that truly cares. 
We know you’re scared and losing faith 
We promise we won’t let you wait. 
Hush little baby, don’t you cry 
We’re gonna make this world alright.

		<description>What I do for funNOTHING LASTS FOREVER

A physical type installation using snow. I built the phrase “nothing lasts forever” out of snow the night before a massive snowstorm. The installation spanned half a block in between two traffic lanes on Massachusetts Avenue, a high-traffic street in downtown Boston.

TICKET TO ADVENTURE

Social experiment. I placed a prepaid roundtrip subway ticket in a ticket dispenser at Park St, one of the busiest subway stops in Boston, with the title “Ticket to Adventure.” I did not leave any way to contact me or share the adventure in an attempt to keep the gesture purely generous and force myself to experience unsatisfied curiosity.

The ticket read: “Here you have $4 to take you anywhere the MBTA goes, and back. Yours to use as you wish but I encourage you to make this trip an adventure. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Make friends with a stranger. Stop to listen to a busker. Or save this for a special occasion. Either way, thank you for riding on me. Love, Lorelei.”

THANK YOU NOTE

Typography experiment. To thank my friend for giving me this set of two pencils, I created a thank you note using the pencils themselves.

		<description>Planesense Print

This print campaign for PlaneSense, a low-cost approach to flying private, took on the press scandal that ensued when the top three auto execs traveled to bailout hearings in private jets. The message was simple: you don’t need a jet to fly private. Magazine and newspaper ads ran in relevant publications shortly after the hearings.

		<description>Flavor makes friends.


Food Should Taste Good makes delicious, all-natural tortilla chips. To raise awareness for the brand and encourage trial, the “Follow the Flavors” social media campaign capitalized on the fans’ loyalty to different flavors. The goal was to increase the brand’s Facebook fan base from less than 10,000 to 100,000 by the end of 10 weeks. We reached it in 48 hours. 


10 Weeks, 10 Flavors
&#60;img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/1138051/0000_AVATARS.jpg" width="670" height="377" width_o="750" height_o="423" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/1138051/0000_AVATARS_o.jpg" data-mid="5479492"  border="0" align="left"/&#62;
The Follow the Flavors campaign brought to life a different Food Should Taste Good flavor every week for 10 weeks. Fans could engage with the flavors through Facebook and a dedicated Wordpress blog, increasing the brand's social media following.


0 to 100,000

&#60;img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/1138051/fstg__0001_FLAVOR_TAB.jpg" width="670" height="377" width_o="852" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/1138051/fstg__0001_FLAVOR_TAB_o.jpg" data-mid="5479497"  border="0" align="left"/&#62;
At the start of the campaign, Food Should Taste Good offered a free bag of chips to the first 100,000 new Facebook fans. Despite only being promoted through grassroots tactics, this offer blew up — we reached the goal of 100,000 fans in less than 48 hours.


Exclusive Treats

As each flavor had its week in the spotlight, the Food Should Taste Good chef developed a unique dip to pair with that chip, and shared recipes and photos of the pairing.

Sharing fun content

The flavors gave fans fun, engaging content like simple games, sharable gifts, themed playlists, and fun quizzes, as well as themed contests, coupons and giveaways.

Keeping it fresh

&#60;img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/1138051/fstg__0003_PHOTO_HUNT.jpg" width="670" height="377" width_o="852" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/1138051/fstg__0003_PHOTO_HUNT_o.jpg" data-mid="5479518"  border="0" align="left"/&#62;
Each week’s content was relevant not only to the flavor, but to current events like Halloween.


Letting the fans in

The campaign embraced conversation, welcoming input from the fans. For instance, an odd yet humorous alien drawing invited caption from Facebook fans and received close to 400 responses.

Exceeding expectations

By the end of the campaign, Food Should Taste Good had close to 150,000 fans on Facebook, surpassing other more established competitors. This became an active, engaged community, generating more than 10,000 posts over the 10 weeks, and praising the brand’s fan-focused approach to social media.</description>

		<description>You own the Parks


When the Ken Burns documentary The National Parks: America’s Best Idea aired on PBS, the "This Is Your Land" campaign reinforced a sense of personal ownership to the Parks. This spot was part of that campaign and drove to a site where people could claim their favorite spot and contribute stories.


A personalized gift

&#60;img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/1138050/LapseSaver04.jpg" width="670" height="408" width_o="2048" height_o="1247" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/1138050/LapseSaver04_o.jpg" data-mid="5479449"  border="0" align="left"/&#62;&#60;img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/1138050/npfholidaygift_expanded.jpg" width="670" height="393" width_o="1242" height_o="729" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89103/1138050/npfholidaygift_expanded_o.jpg" data-mid="5479451"  border="0" align="left"/&#62;
The core idea of personal ownership manifested itself in even the smallest details. For the holidays, the NPF offered its supporters a digital gift in the form of a screensaver. The screensaver pulls user-submitted Flickr photos of the National Parks, and synched them so the time of the day in the photo coincides with that of the user.
