RICKY JUNQUERA

FLORIDA HOUSE DISTRICT 118

In collaboration with the Florida House Victory Campaign, Turn Florida Blue, we wrote, produced, and distributed a series of political ads to increase awareness and buzz around Democratic Candidates who needed a boost in the polls. Patrick Henry was one such candidate.

 

Ricky Junquera grew up in a Cuban American household right here in West Miami-Dade by his single mother and grandmother. Since early childhood, he saw the risks and sacrifices his family made to make sure he had education and personal improvement opportunities. In 2010, Ricky was attending law school and working on Joe Garcia’s 2010 bid for congress. That’s where he found his calling, helping communities through public service. After receiving a master’s degree in intercultural communications, he became the Communications Director for Congressman Henry Cuellar of San Antonio in 2015. He joined the campaign just as Donald Trump was beginning his own. This pushed Ricky forward and enabled him to work further to hone his communication skills to combat Trump’s anti-immigration rhetoric.

 

For the Florida House Victory Campaign, we distributed three ads for Ricky Junquera (30-second, 15-second, and 6-second versions) while using advanced SEO tactics to boost searchability and organic viewership.

A PROMISE TO DISTRICT 118

In conjunction with the three ads published in part by the Florida House Victory campaign, Ricky Junquera’s base commissioned us to write, produce, and distribute an independent collection of political advertisements.

 

In 2015, after witnessing the EPA’s attacks, Ricky accepted a position as the Regional Press Secretary for the Sierra Club. This began his start in shaping environmental communication strategies throughout the Midwest and Florida. Ultimately, Ricky chose to run for House Representative because he cared deeply about his community’s health outcomes and fought to balance working-class communities’ economic struggles. Vocalizing this in our media wasn’t difficult at all. We knew his words would meet the emotions of many in a community that had seen hardship after hardship, from the EPA to the current COVID-19 crisis. For this series, we highlighted Ricky Junquera’s focus on the issues that matter most to our communities: healthcare, unemployment, gun violence, clean water, public education, and viable transportation. These issues have been a part of Ricky’s life since childhood. He’d seen the hardships that crushing medical expenses have on a family. He’s personally been a part of the fight for clean water since early 2015. We see that many of these issues are still ones we face today. There’s much work still left to be done, and that’s why we banded together to give Ricky the media he needed to get his words and work in front of a larger audience.

 

The framework for these ads led to increased voter turnout for Ricky Junquera.

Florida House Victory Campaign

FLORIDA HOUSE VICTORY CAMPAIGN

A FULL SCALE PUSH TO TAKE THE HOUSE

The Florida House Victory Campaign, Turn Florida Blue, was a massive political effort funded by state Democrats in an effort to unite the Florida House of Representatives under democratic leadership. The idea for this campaign came in the wake of the 2018 election, where Florida Democrats flipped various seats in the House of Representatives. To build on this momentum, the Democratic party ran a Democratic candidate in every district election for the first time in our state’s history.

 

The Florida House of Representatives has been under Republican leadership for the past 20 years. They’ve controlled the legislator and have implemented biased policies, many of which directly or indirectly take advantage of hardworking Floridians and their families. The Florida House Victory Campaign was aimed to capitalize on the national momentum and shared interest for a “blue wave,” using the current political climate to drive democratic turnout and, ultimately, take control of the house.

 

Though the 2020 election results favored Republicans in Florida, our campaign stoked interest around important Democratic policies that we will continue to fight for in the elections to come. Among the most important topics discussed in this election, the Florida House Victory campaign advocated livable wage jobs, a healthy and well-guarded environment, equal state funding for public education, correcting our broken unemployment system, access to affordable healthcare, and the revitalization of our state economy.

 

We wrote the scripts, directed, produced and distributed the political ads for 13 Democratic Candidates running for office and re-election in districts as far south as Key West and as far north as Orlando.

ECONOMIC RECOVERY

Four candidates pushed the topic of economic recovery to bolster their status on the polls. Each video was tied to the COVID-19 pandemic considering it was one of the greatest concerns among voters in the Democratic base and those still undecided.

 

We wrote unique scripts for each candidate, drawing talking points from their political track-record and community’s status. We spoke predominantly to local business owners, unemployed workers, those who recognized the failures of leadership in Tallahassee.

BEACHES & WATERWAYS

Another important topic discussed by Democratic candidates in this year’s race was the importance of protecting and preserving our beaches and waterways. The framework for this argument was also tied to COVID-19, which enabled us to weave economic elements into these scripts.

 

The most impactful argument here was that Florida tourism is a $90 billion industry. It upholds our state and local economies, powers business, and ensures that thousands of workers are employed. Amid COVID-19, travel has been difficult for some and impossible for others. International travel has been greatly limited and these factors have been devastating to businesses that need tourist dollars to survive. 2020 has shown that when tourism dies, our communities suffer. This reinforced the importance and value of our waterways and beaches. These natural resources support our tourist industry and are, therefore, vital factors to our state’s economic health.

EDUCATION

Four candidates ran on a platform of correcting Florida’s biased public education funding system. The main point of contention is the fact that for the past 20 years, our state legislator has funneled tax dollars to support for-profit charter schools. This biased practice has completely hindered our public schooling institution’s ability to function; the cost of which is shared among teachers and students alike.

We wrote a collection of scripts to inform Florida voters of the situation while presenting real solutions that would benefit our communities, families, and children.

MINE BLASTING

Perhaps the most specific topic of conversation among our candidates was Mine Blasting to which Cindy Polo provided a voice. This issue is specific to business owners and homeowners in District 103. This mining practice is damaging and is at their expense. Since no other candidates were bringing this issue to light, Cindy Polo stepped in.

ENVIRONMENT

Protecting and preserving our environment is a growing topic of conversation. With the severity of climate change worsening every year, we expect that this conversation will remain at the center of political dialogue. Current trends aside, the environment has long been a primary concern among Florida voters. Our state’s economy is largely dependent on the health of our natural resources, as they are a major contributor to tourism.

 

For candidates Delores Hogan-Johnson and Geraldine Thompson, we wrote, produced, and distributed the following political ads centered around environmental stewardship and the importance of nature in our economy. We framed the conversation alongside covid-19 to reinforce the urgency and provide added framework to our case.

CINDY POLO

FLORIDA HOUSE DISTRICT 103

In collaboration with the Florida House Victory Campaign, Turn Florida Blue, we wrote, produced, and distributed a series of political ads to increase awareness and buzz around Democratic Candidates and bolster their ratings in the polls. Cindy Polo was one such candidate.

 

For the Florida House Victory Campaign, Cindy Polo wanted to address an issue specific to her district: mine blasting. While most candidates focused on COVID-19, economic hardships, unemployment, education, and the environment, Cindy Polo opted to pursue this route to speak to a distinct voter segment. By addressing local business owners and homeowners affected by mine blasting, she expanded her base and increased awareness around her campaign.

 

We distributed this campaign using advanced SEO tactics and ad spend to boost searchability and viewership.

FRANCCESCA CESTI-BROWNE

FLORIDA HOUSE DISTRICT 115

In collaboration with the Florida House Victory Campaign, Turn Florida Blue, we wrote, produced, and distributed a series of political ads to increase awareness and buzz around Democratic Candidates who needed a boost in the polls. Franccesca Cesti-Browne was one such candidate.

 

Franccesca Cesti-Browne ran on a platform of education. As a mother and businesswoman, she is vocal about advocating for the health of the communities of Florida. She believes that every community is only as strong as the opportunities they are given. Thus, she states that we must provide more opportunities to our present leaders and the young people to lead our future generations. She advocates heavily on correcting the imbalance and bias affecting public school funding throughout Florida. She is critical of the State Legislator, who contributed to the massive education gap that has been decades in the making.

 

This campaign was distributed via Facebook Advertising and was targeted at demographics based on their viewer history and language preference to garner the best results. For the Florida House Victory Campaign, we distributed three ads for Franccesca Cesti-Browne (30 second, 15 second, and 6 second versions) while using advanced SEO tactics to boost searchability and viewership organically.

PATRICK HENRY
FLORIDA HOUSE DISTRICT 26

In collaboration with the Florida House Victory Campaign, Turn Florida Blue, we wrote, produced, and distributed a series of political ads to increase awareness and buzz around Democratic Candidates who needed a boost in the polls. Patrick Henry was one such candidate.

 

Patrick Henry has been a proven leader for District 26 of Florida since first assuming office in 2016 and has always upheld his promise to voice real Floridians’ interests in the state capital. With so much at stake in the 2020 election, we got to work educating Florida voters on the importance of re-electing Patrick Henry. His platform was honest and straightforward: the COVID-19 pandemic has been devastating on our local businesses and our economic wellbeing; these hardships could have been and still can be avoided if we had real leadership in the State Capital. Now more than ever, we need real, commonsense solutions to put Florida back on track. Vocalizing these three crucial points was essential in increasing voter turnout for Patrick Henry in 2020.

 

For the Florida House Victory Campaign, we distributed three ads for Patrick Henry (30 second, 15 second, and 6 second versions) while using advanced SEO tactics to boost searchability and organic viewership.

In conjunction with the three ads published in part by the Florida House Victory campaign, Patrick Henry’s base commissioned us to write, produce, and distribute an independent collection of political advertisements.

 

For this series, we highlighted Patrick Henry’s promise for the future and the key areas that he would continue to advocate: livable wage jobs, a clean and healthy environment, access to healthcare, and quality public education. These social issues have long been the heart of Patrick Henry’s work in the State Capital. We can look around and see that his work is not yet complete. This is not a knock on Patrick Henry, but rather a call to action to unite the Florida House of Representatives under likeminded Democratic leadership so we can create real, functional policies to improve these areas.

 

The framework for these ads achieved many successes that led to increased voter turnout for Patrick Henry. Most importantly, it reinforced and drove traffic back to the Florida House Victory campaign ads, which, ultimately, contributed to Patrick Henry’s massive viewership in such a short timeframe. And it also helped focus organic viewership in Florida where a total of 108 watch hours were recorded.

GERALDINE THOMPSON

FLORIDA HOUSE DISTRICT 44

In collaboration with the Florida House Victory Campaign, Turn Florida Blue, we wrote, produced, and distributed a series of political ads to increase awareness and buzz around Democratic Candidates behind in the polls.

 

Geraldine Thompson was running for re-election for Florida House District 44 on the promise of reinvigorating opportunities for local businesses and hardworking Floridians as the means of getting our state economy back on track. Her opponent, Bruno Portigliatti, ran on a similar promise. However, his assurance was contradicted by his track record of taking advantage of vulnerable seniors, college students, and unemployed workers. We made a point of showcasing his harmful and volatile track record to further support Geraldine Thompson’s re-election bid.

 

We distributed three ads for the Florida House Victory Campaign (30 second, 15 second, and 6-second versions) while using advanced SEO tactics to boost searchability and viewership organically.

ATTACK AD

Operating in conjunction with the Florida House Victory Ad, we also produced an attack ad to aid Geraldine Thompson on her re-election bid further.

 

Her opponent, Bruno Portigliatti, ran on a similar campaign promise; however, his track-record was a complete contradiction to these claims. The idea for this ad was to show the disparities in the American Dream; how some people — people like Bruno Portigliatti — use their position to take advantage of people as a means of deepening their pockets. Educating Florida’s voters was imperative here. Some of the most affected demographics from the COVID-19 pandemic — seniors, students, and unemployed workers — deserved to know that a vote for Bruno Portigliatti would greatly affect their economic futures and physical health.

 

This ad was distributed primarily on social media using Facebook Advertising and greatly increased voter recognition for Geraldine Thompson as the ideal candidate to continue representing Florida House District 44.

The Florida Panthers

THE FLORIDA PANTHERS

MARKETING | ADVERTISING | GRAPHIC DESIGN | PHOTOGRAPHY

We started working with the Florida Panthers at a time when their reputation in the NHL was lacking. Game attendance was down. In fact, it was almost non-existent. According to game statistics, the Panthers’ 2014–2015 home opener set a team record for the lowest attendance at a home opener, with only 11,419 spectators in attendance. The team’s next game against the Ottawa Senators marked the team’s lowest attendance ever, with only 7,311 in attendance (and they were most likely Canadians!). This is what we were walking into and one of the main obstacles we face.

 

We got started working with Panthers in 2014 to help improve the franchise’s reputation locally as a means of increasing game attendance. We got started recreating Club Levels in the BB&T Center, which you will see below, as well, as creating food and beverage packaging for new product releases. As we contributed to the Florida Panthers’ marketing, the team started to win big time. We believe it was their winning streak combined with our constant marketing and advertising that helped increase game attendance and fan loyalty. Here is a look at all of the work we did for the Florida Panthers and how we helped involve the South Florida community.

This case study flows backward from the 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs to the redesign of the TruMoxy Entertainment Lounge in 2014. Here we go! 

"South Florida is Panthers' Territory!"

Our collaboration with the Florida Panthers came at a time when their popularity was at a low point. But in the time we worked with them, revamping their brand image and outfitting their arena with bold new graphics, we saw their popularity skyrocket. Game attendance was higher than ever. Their fanbase was loyal and ever-present. And best of all, the Panthers were dominating the 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs with a team that was loved locally and internationally!

 

Given our proven track record with the Panthers over the past two years, they asked us to lead their marketing efforts during the playoffs. Our main objectives were to spread the already heightened popularity of the team to extend their fanbase, and to help increase ticket sales for the 2016 playoff games and the seasons to follow. Our Graphic Design department again fulfilled the bulk of these marketing and advertising initiatives because of their ability to simplify complicated messaging with advanced design principles, strengthen sales language through colors and typography, and maintain a consistent and captivating brand image. Among the various tasks we spearheaded were developing ads for magazines, television, and online, promoting the BB&T Center’s amenities and decorating the arena with banners, informing on extracurricular Panthers events, engaging the die-hards via infographics and player updates, and creating food and beverage packaging for concession stands.

 

Our 2016 mission was straightforward: make the Florida Panthers’ name as recognizable as the Miami Heat, Florida Dolphins, and Florida Marlins.

2016 STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS

We tracked the progress of the 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs game-by-game, delivering updates to our fanbase and advertising ticket sales to hockey fans in the cities where the Florida Panthers traveled. 

 

As the playoffs progressed, we had to find ways to keep our content fresh and relevant. A major concern was limiting consumer fatigue, which can arise from increased ad frequency reaching the same demographics. To prevent this, we made many ads in GIF format, changing the imagery and language to appeal to users navigating various advertising landscapes.

 

In addition to advertising ticket sales and monitoring the progress of the tournament, our team designed massive banners to celebrate the athletes making this year’s season so exciting! These were draped on the BB&T Center and served to keep the local audience engaged in the events that were unfolding.

Panthers Pride runs the show!

This was perhaps one of the most fun aspects of our collaborations with the Florida Panthers in the 2 years we worked together. Highlighting player statistics and team milestones during the 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs had Panther’s Pride surging throughout the studio. We all became die-hard hockey fans in the process of creating these infographics and stat sheets… just another reward for a job well done. These media assets were used primarily to build a loyal following but also became extremely useful in converting prospective consumers into ticket sales. By sharing these milestones and hall-of-fame status statistics, we showed local sports fans that there was plenty of reason to follow the Florida Panthers and even more reason to come to the games. These infographics served many purposes for the overall marketing campaign. They were featured on social media, modified into banners to be displayed at the arena and on the jumbotrons, and were converted into ads to increase ticket sales and merchandise sales.

FOOD & BEVERAGE PACKAGING

Our early success with the TruMoxy entertainment lounge proposal earned us another contract: the design of the Florida Panthers Marco Bar and West Coast Energy Drink.

 

This was an exciting opportunity to provide their organization with such a valued piece of graphic design. But the pressure was on. With little artistic direction to go off of and an outdated logo to boot, we had to create timeless packaging that would appeal to athletes and fans alike. To achieve this, we had to merge two brands into something that looked cohesive and still emanated with Panthers’ energy.

 

For the Macro Bar, we hand drew illustrations that embodied elements of Florida and hockey, which ultimately defined the look and feel of the Macro Bar and informed the design elements of the West Coast Energy Drink. It was on this assignment that we created a new logo variation for the Florida Panthers that was so beloved it was adapted into a shirt and handed out to fans their games.

 

Our success in designing the Marco Bar and West Coast Energy Drink earned us yet another design contract… the redesign of their concession stand cups, which would be sold during games and as souvenirs! But that’s not all. This was the catalyst for something far bigger…

Our collaboration with the Florida Panthers came at a time when their popularity was at a low point. Game attendance was down. Really down. In fact, they ranked as one of the least-watched teams in the NHL. Something had to change.

 

The first phase in bringing immediate excitement to the franchise was to physically refurbish outdated club levels in the BB&T Center to give locals more incentive to buy tickets. We were tasked to submit a proposal for the redesign of the TruMoxy Gaming Center. Little did we know that our track record with the Panthers was about to get even more exciting.

 

The TruMoxy Entertainment and Gaming Center

The TruMoxy lounge was dated and did not properly focus crowds. The Panthers wanted to improve the function of the space while adding new entertainment elements. Our team got to work reimagining the space to create the BB&T Center’s next hottest hangout.

 

We revised the layout entirely, changing the boring rows of tables into an interactive lounge space where fans could watch Panthers games on new LED Flatscreens while drinking at the bar, play video games on built-in gaming systems, and listen to live music before the Panthers take to the ice. The vision would turn the Florida Panthers TruMoxy Gaming Center into the featured entertainment location for every Florida Panthers fan.

 

The final result of the TruMoxy Entertainment and Gaming Center would be an added revenue stream for the BB&T Center complete with new opportunities for advertising concerts and events outside of Panthers Hockey.

LaySee Pillow

The Eyeglass Pillow by LaySee Pillow is the answer to a longtime annoyance.

If you wear seeing eyeglasses, then you know how uncomfortable it is to lay on your side. Pillows simply do not agree with glasses. They shift your sight, press your glasses into your skull, or completely obstruct your view of the television! Well, not anymore.

 

LaySee Pillow invents comfortable, practical solutions for everyday people. Their innovations in the home goods retail department have been a great benefit for people of all ages, especially those who wear glasses. When they were ready to launch their latest product, the Eyeglass Pillow, they came to us because of the work we did for Ghostbed and the success of their ad campaign.

 

LaySee Pillow wanted to hit the market hard with a memorable and catchy piece of visual media that would encourage users to explore their brand and make a purchase. With this goal in mind, we created a straightforward ad with eclectic characters that is both fun and succinct. We included bite-sized pieces of information on the screen in the form of text to educate consumers on the benefit of their product and leave a lasting impression.
