Angry Pilgrims

In our latest campaign for STOVE TOP Stuffing, we challenge the misconception that STOVE TOP can only be enjoyed on Thanksgiving.

For years, the Pilgrims have had a profound love for the taste of STOVE TOP Stuffing. To them, it’s what makes Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving. But times change. People are now enjoying STOVE TOP Stuffing year-round. The Pilgrims are not happy. They would prefer to keep STOVE TOP for Thanksgiving only. Because if people keep eating it all the time, they’re afraid the specialness of their favorite holiday will be diminished.

Stay tuned for more from this angry bunch of Pilgrims.

Relay for Life

Behind every cancer survivor is an army of friends and family. And when the armies march, cancer trembles.

This march is Relay for Life — the American Cancer Society's most important event where patients, survivors and supporters walk day and night to raise money and awareness. These relays are marked with luminaria bags that honor those who are fighting the good fight. 

In our newest work for The American Cancer Society, Francois Vogel helped us bring the beautiful luminaria experience to the world — with all animation created on luminaria bags and shot in-camera.

Hunter and Bubba

Hunter Mahan and Bubba Watson may be two of the best golfers in the world, but when they play together, they act just like two regular ol' golf buddies. Okay, so Bubba hits his driver 300+ yards and Hunter can curve shots around trees then stop them on a dime…but, yeah, other than that, they’re just a couple of normal dudes.

Robin’s Egg

When Robin Long, one of the most beloved employees of The Martin Agency, entered a no-holds-barred war with cancer, we wanted to arm her with as much love and beauty as is humanly possible. And app-ly possible.

Take a look at how an agency-wide call for voicemails became Robin’s Egg — the first app (developed 100% in-house) that turns your voice into an original work of art.

And Robin, we miss you so much. You better get back here soon!

Spider Swiper

In 2010, Mentos and BBH made a commercial featuring a spider that beats up a young guy who is attempting to crush him. People love the spider, so Mentos looked to us to take the Spider story into new territory.

With a young audience who's hooked to their mobile phones, we decided the best place for our Spider evolution was in an app. We were lucky to work with veteran game developer, Graeme Devine, to put together a an app-based battle where you fight some pretty intense spiders using only your thumbs. Spider Swiper reached #4 in the App Store the weekend it launched and is reaching record download levels.
