Keep it Oscar

Oscar Mayer was struggling to connect with modern audiences. We launched 'Keep it Oscar': the brand's largest campaign in 50 years, a complete brand evolution that made Oscar Mayer one of Ad Age's #4 Marketers of the Year. I helped establish the visual platform by defining what 'Keep It Oscar' meant: unexpected, meat-centric content inspired by pop art and designed for modern audiences. We collaborated with diverse creators to bring the platform to life across digital, social, and OOH.

Digital Out-of-Home

A strong visual story allowed us to stretch our ads for use in sound-off placements.
