SNY / Joey 11204

The Joey 11204. Sure you can find out some of what’s going on in NY sports from Joey, but be warned, he doesn’t know very much, he’s got a penchant for fake news, he’s pretty opinionated and he’s a New Yorker, through and through. That’s why Joey is not nearly as good a place to get your New York sports news as SNY.

HPE Flexible Capacity

Introduction of HPE’s long awaited hybrid infrastructure, the first solution that delivers the best of the cloud and on premise IT in one completely flexible service. Yeah, we didn’t know what that meant either.

Entirely digital campaign featured some pretty weird hybrids on animated banners that clicked through to a long format video.

SNY / Infotainment

New York has more sports teams than any other city in the world which means more games, more gossip, more scores and more scandals. In this campaign, SNY takes on the World Wide Leader (ESPN) in a series of animated television spots that question the logic of getting your New York sports from anywhere but the network devoted entirely to it.

Midtown Athletic Clubs / Fit People are More Fun

A unique brand platform in the crowded athletic club arena was born from the belief that fit people lead happier lives. By trading the usual photos of ripped abs and sexy models for colorful graphics depicting the inner joy that comes from being fit, we gave Midtown an ownable visual language that carries through to all channels.

SNY / Disgruntled Sports Memorabilia

An integrated campaign with TV commercials, print and outdoor pitting SNY against other sports networks offering inferior New York sports coverage. Our print and television campaign starred disgruntled New York sports merchandise - those bummed out bobble heads, frustrated figurines and suicidal souvenirs whose owners betray them by not watching SNY. 

We also created a proprietary fan experience through the SNY Facebook page. A custom app allowed participants to record their own dialogue over any of SNY’s four TV commercials, instantly embedding their voice in the spots

SNY / Testosterone

SNY, comfortably seeded as the TV home of the New York Mets and Jets, needed to expand their viewership by letting New York sports fans know that they deliver more coverage of all nine New York teams than any other network on TV. Based on an actual study connecting watching sports to surges in testosterone levels, our television campaign challenged New York sports fans to “up their dose of New York sports” by tuning into SNY at their own risk. “Muscles” was one of TBS’s top ten funniest commercials of the year.

SNY / NY NY Sports Sports

On a limited budget, we created a multi-channel campaign starring Mandeep and Sharvarish, the proprietors of a sports merchandise store where they play SNY all day and deal with New York’s overly passionate sports fans. TV commercials, a microsite, personal appearances at Mets games, fake storefronts, plus a Facebook fan page helped secure SNY’s place as the premiere network for all things NY sports and made Mandeep and Sharvarish cult icons.

Mandeep and Sharvarish’s “store in the computer” is an intentionally low-tech microsite for the fictitious NY NY Sports Sports store. Visitors navigate through the proprietors’ personal laptop via a webcam on the front counter. It’s both a tribute to their ingenuity, and lack of it.

Fage / Ridiculously Thick Yogurt

Fage, the largest dairy company in Greece, came to us with a little known yogurt with a name that nobody could pronounce. Our creative platform centered around the product’s point of difference: a texture so thick it bordered on ridiculous. With a budget that limited us to print, we needed to make a lasting impression, which we did quite literally.

We partnered with Warner Brothers for an outdoor spectacular during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. An aviary mishap occurred when a fifty foot Tweety Bird float appeared to have careened off course and ran, headfirst, into a Fage billboard.
No one was hurt.

Capri Sun / Respect the pouch

Capri Sun had lost its cool, and wanted it back. For over three years, we created award-winning work across all channels that tapped into a kid’s desire to take what they’re told and do the exact opposite. After numerous TV campaigns and a ten episode cartoon series, Capri Sun became Kraft’s #1 selling brand (even besting Oreos) and our “Respect The Pouch” tagline became more recognizable to kids than “Just Do It."
