For an in-flagship-store experience, we designed a branded VR world where every Hershey’s fan could use the iconic Hershey’s Kiss as a blank canvas to create their own piece of pop art within season-inspired fantastical worlds. The individual worlds had their own special sense of physics, and even the way sound moved the environments were custom-designed to give each participant a distinct feeling for each. In addition to spending time inside these magical virtual worlds, each participant received a sticker or a temporary tattoo of their own unique creation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5418832be4b0d214a5aaebdc/1597520472295-ULBEVFY1ZNMZUQKLJWOX/rpr_pin.jpg HOME https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5418832be4b0d214a5aaebdc/1467128278944-G414BTEE3V5JN91SDEBG/image-asset.jpeg HOME - Brands at the Speed of Culture Teaser Event branding and promotional content for Cannes 2016 with Havas Worldwide + Atom Factory : "BRANDS AT THE SPEED OF CULTURE" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5418832be4b0d214a5aaebdc/1592847746569-IZ0LE0YE5IT60KI3ILYN/image-asset.png HOME - HBO MAX - Introduction An introduction to HBO’s newest, boldest product, HBO MAX. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5418832be4b0d214a5aaebdc/1467128385278-PSEKTX89M5B55PXJA0XN/image-asset.jpeg HOME - Studio A Revisited - Bob Dylan (Case Study) Awards: + Cannes Lions - 2 silver in UX interface and user journey & sound design, 1 bronze in the microsite category + The One Show - silver pencil in G26: sound design + Clio Awards - 2 bronze in audio website + Clio Music - 1 gold website, 1 silver in use of music + Adweek - best use of social + IAB MIXX Awards - 1 bronze in branded site + NY Festivals - 3rd prize in music / sound design + TDC Communication Design - certificate of typographic excellence My team and I at Studio6 were commissioned by Sony Legacy to create an immersive online experience that brought fans into the recording studio with a 24 year old Bob Dylan.

Shouting rebellion from the rooftops, Grace Mitchell's lyric video for her new single: “Kids (Ain't All Right),” powers the counterculture youth of today. Grace is bold and unconventional - a brave antidote to the fluffy churn of output today - the mouthpiece of the socially conscious. Younger generations from decades past could discover new communities and feel like they belonged for maybe the first time in their lives through the format of a Zine: this analog, grungy, DIY booklet filled with art, politics, music and culture. Our team instantly took to this medium for Grace. This was her sound in picture form. So we handmade our own Zine specifically tailored to the video. We constructed a pastiche of photographs, vintage magazines and handwritten notes - a beautiful chaos - and disrupted it with an ultra-modern, graphic iconography. Filmed overhead on Hi8 for the lyric video, we let the gritty narrative unfold with each turn of the page. The result was something genuine and authentic for today’s youth in revolt. It conveyed a fearlessness, an intentional life, filled with the subversion and provocation that has always driven the most persuasive of subcultures. Our friends at Republic Records printed copies of the Zine and distributed them to fans at her concerts. Moving forward, this aesthetic will be implemented as her signature style. The video, which lives on her Vevo account, and the Zine emphasize Grace Mitchell’s true nature - authentically young, fully woke and audacious. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5418832be4b0d214a5aaebdc/t/64e4b88ae6c0904b3276d550/1467328247755/ HOME https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5418832be4b0d214a5aaebdc/1410986282470-LFOZFXD4YDYKDN5V9ZEZ/image-asset.jpeg HOME - "Side Launch" - The Story of a Debut by MANNER It's been a couple of years since the gears have started turning.
