AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL

Some things aren’t as good as the original.

This mocumentary-style ad features our main character triying to replicate his world famous counterpart, but isn’t quite hitting the mark.

Thankfully, all is not lost. As some things ARE as good as the original.

Like Burger King's new plant-based range.

CLEAR YOUR SOLE        

Client: ASICS
Agency: We Are Social/Socialize
Art director: James Young
Copywriter: Jack Rogers/Jason Velasquez Burayag



Asics is all about sound mind, sound body and with mental health issues on the rise, we wanted to find a way to help people overcome their mental barriers by getting them to write these words down... onto the soles of their shoes. 

Everytime they go for a run or do some excersize the words will gradually wear away along with their negativity, leaving each person feeling more uplifted than before. 

The path to mental clarity, runs through the soles of our feet.

SONY ALWAYS ON      
Client: Sony
Agency: Socialize/We Are Social


Art Direction: James Young
Copywriter: Jack Rogers


Sony MEA asked us to give their social content an uplift. With such sterile naming across their entire product range–ZVE1 (camera), WF-C700N (headphones) and the A80L (TV), there was an opportunity to create a design language that Sony once used back in their earlier years. Large, bold product codes were complemented by block colours and shapes which were printed onto cassette cases and VCR sleeves, signifying a retro era that we looked to resurrect.

Using Sony’s existing product and photography assets, we combined these with our modern take on a retro design language, to create an ecosystem of visually engaging and distinctive social content.
