Chillboards from Coors Light were billboards installed on Miami rooftops to lower the building temperature.

Ads that no one can see, but everyone can feel.

In Miami, there have been more 90-degree days than ever before.

Each roof was painted with a different message to raise awareness of the benefits of these reflective roofs – including reducing the need for AC & lowering cooling costs. More than 36,000 sq.ft. of roofs were painted helping cool down 96 apartments.

Amidst a national chicken wing shortage and skyrocketing chicken wing costs, Wingstop asked Leo Burnett how to switch gears and push people to eat more thighs, so we created Thighstop.

Rick Ross helped us launch Thighstop and all of our comms had to quickly be updated from Wingstop to Thighstop.

The campaign was featured on every major network and late night show.

Rather than spending time stressed in the kitchen, we created The Holiday Apron, a first-of-its kind wearable and technological marvel, loaded with intelligent features. It is meant to remind us all that we shouldn't focus on the stresses around making food, but on food's power to connect us and help today's holidays create tomorrow's memories.

Feeding America realized that people have misconceptions about what hunger looks like. Hunger can look like anyone, the next door neighbor, your friend at school, people you pass by every day.

To show this, we created a lifelike representation of hunger by creating an entirely new face using artificial intelligence.

Using images of 1,000 real people dealing with hunger and USDA report on people struggling with hunger, we used a GAN network to learn and create an entirely new face based on our data.

We then set out to create a film to bring this AI face to life. By our AI generated face encompassing some of the stories from the 40 million people dealing with hunger, we told those stories through the lens of the face created by Artificial Intelligence.

Tuesday is quite possibly the most predictable day of the week. To break up the monotony of Tuesday, Marshalls launched the first ever live sweepstakes. Every Tuesday for seven weeks, Marshalls broadcast a surprising stunt live on Facebook. Everyone who engaged during the live broadcast would be entered into winning the grand prize for that week.

To show our extreme dedication to cheese maturation, we showed viewers exactly what it took for our cheese to mature.  To do this we launched a Facebook live event. Not 24 hours, not 48 or 72 hours, but 1,350 hours straight.

In collaboration with Funny or Die, it is currently the longest branded Facebook live event, ever. 57 straight days of live streaming, starring our cast of maturation experts, who would come in each day and teach the cheese about subjects it needed to know to mature. Like philosophy, reading it War and Peace from start to finish or giving cheese, "The Talk" about where baby cheeses come from.

All of this tied to one lucky person who would win 5 million Cheez-it crackers (paid in form of a $50,000 check) if they were present when the cheese matured.

We produced the first ever live streaming assembly using Google+ Hangouts. Instead of the normal 10 people who joined a hangout, we invited hundreds of schools to join in the conversation, making it the Biggest. Assembly. Ever.

The event was shot live in California and broadcast on Meanstinks.com. Eight other host schools joined us and were featured in the hangout. Hundreds of other schools tuned in and watched.
