Wuthering Heights

Before romance went mainstream and Heated Rivalry penetrated the hearts of millions, Warner Bros saw that yearning was starting to have a moment and tapped us to help them go all in. We created boundary pushing social content that paired romance with provocation, all through the lens of “the greatest love story ever told.”

By mixing romantic moments, trending formats, feed-breaking elements and just the right amount of steaminess, we sought to quench the thirst of every fangirl (gender neutral) on the internet while inspiring a whole lot of good ol’ fashioned blushing (and ticket buying, of course).

It Ends With Us

While most romantic dramas are straight-streaming releases these days, Sony came to us with a major theatrical assignment: create a digital campaign for a super popular Colleen Hoover book starring Blake Lively and turn it into a box office hit. Challenge accepted.

We mined deep into BookTok to analyze the most ardent of fans and combined it with broad strokes to reel in the newbies. The result? Social-first content that touched the hearts of even the most judgmental fans while appealing to audiences who were aching to see this type of movie back on the big screen. Because sometimes we just need a communal cry, you know?

Smile 2

For Smile 2, we were tasked with re-establishing the franchise’s core storyline and mythology while evolving it for a fresh new audience. The campaign needed to communicate the concept while also expanding upon the larger scale and tapping into cultural conversation among horror fans.

We delivered social-first creative including meme-driven content, TikTok trends, and tension building scene lifts that grabbed viewers’ attention and left them wanting more. Our approach reintroduced the themes of the first film while spotlighting the new stakes: greater exposure, heightened gore, and the ability to replicate the film’s curse at scale. The result was a dynamic campaign that clarified the concept for new audiences, reignited interest in the franchise, and positioned Smile 2 as a must-watch horror event.

Companion

As an original film without any existing IP to rest on, WB was looking to get wild. They asked for truly social-first thinking; if it was just editorial in vertical or square form, they didn’t want it. We were challenged to ditch the traditional business-as-usual campaign formats and create content that broke through your phone in the weirdest, eye-catchiest, and most trendy ways possible.

We created campaign assets that not only celebrated the originality of the film but also played into trends and concepts super specific to this story. From shooting a faux influencer commercial and creating a fake dating app UI piece, to explaining the plot like a zoomer and mimicking a full-blown TradWife narration, we approached this campaign fully charged up.

Minx - S2

When STARZ gave Minx a new home for Season 2, they wanted to create a social campaign that positioned the period piece’s bold, raunchy tone for modern audiences. So we focused on highlighting sexual libration, female empowerment, workplace comedy and 70s style to create a campaign as unforgettable as the show itself.

The result was a campaign that felt fresh, clever, fun and unapologetically sexy.
