For the official reveal of FarCry 5 at E3, we created a number of different assets to get eyes on the game. From Snapchat ads and geofilters, to a themed food truck, we drove thousands of event attendees to play the game and generated millions of views worldwide.
Snapchat ads
Three Snapchat ads played on the official E3 Live Story and appeared in millions of User Stories throughout the three days of the event. Created on a shoestring budget and starring yours truly, the ads generated over 7 million views.
Food Truck
To reward the event attendees who waited hours to play the game, we created the FarCry 5 Meat Wagon food truck. All players had to do was show their completion stamp at the Meat Wagon to receive free authentic Montana fare—including Bison Burgers and Sheep Herder hors d'oeuvres.
Geofilters
Thousands used our exclusive geofilters to brag that they were at E3.
Instead of hiding behind faux holiday wishes and cheer, we did something unexpected for the Dodge Big Finish—we told the truth.

Sticking with the given year's theme of number two pencils, these are the videos my partner and I created.
"The Warlord Apollyon"
To announce For Honor's surprisingly deep single player experience, we launched the trailer, "The Warlord Apollyon." Limited to using only preexisting in-game cinematics, we were able to re-record VO with Apollyon's voice actor, creating a cohesive narrative.
"Who Will Reign?"
For the launch of For Honor, we created a short, one minute trailer showcasing the intensity that can only be felt at the heart of battle.
"Only One" was created to help elevate brand awareness and sales of Ram trucks in California. The commercial was successful, surpassing monthly sales projections by fifty-five percent.

Intel inside. Amazing experiences outside.
After years of declining brand awareness, Intel decided it was time to break out of being “locked inside” and appeal to a new generation by showcasing all of the amazing experiences they make possible outside.
So we created a video-led, fully integrated global campaign that showed a new generation a whole new Intel.
"Pickup" was originally created to run exclusively in the California market. But after a positive reception, the spot was chosen to run nationally.
