TROJAN—

RISING TIME COOKBOOK


It was week 8 of quarantine. Millions of couples were home together. 35% of whom decided to spend their time together baking bread. Only 9% of couples said they were being more intimate. You couldn’t go 2 minutes without seeing someone’s homemade sourdough or focaccia recipe on social media.

So to remind couples to have sex at home, we published a bread cook book on Amazon, with 69 pages of suggestive bread recipes, where each recipe's rising time was also a recipe for sex.

It reached #7 on Amazon’s E-Cookbooks in 5 days.

MAKING A HOLOGRAM


We teamed up with Digital Domain to create a hologram to perform the finale of his speech LIVE at the Super Bowl with the help of AI.

Digital Domain’s Charlatan program scoured the ends of the Internet to find every photo and video frame of Lombardi out there. And then the machine learning filled in the gaps to essentially mimic the angles and speech of our body double and map on Vince’s face.

RECREATING VINCE LOMBARDI’S VOICE


The speech was an amalgamation of things Lombardi had said essentially rearticulated for today. We worked with a Respeecher that used AI to recreate his iconic 60’s Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn accent.

BETMGM—
IT’S ON


When the bet’s in, it’s on. This year we leaned into MGM’s legacy of entertainment with series of spots built to feel more like mini episodes of a show featuring an ensemble of sport legends.
