On January 30, 2016, at 7:25 p.m., just in time for Super Bowl 50, The Bay Lights were relit and became a permanent part of the western span of the Bay Bridge.

In partnership with ILLUMINATE, we created a 30-second video to celebrate the relighting and welcome back the iconic light sculpture. The entire commercial was created in-house at GS&P, including the music, logo, sound design, visuals and editing. “There is a lot of love for The Bay Lights project,” said PJ Koll, director of GS&P’s internal production studio. 

“The commercial … is not only respectful of The Bay Lights art but is a true love letter to the entire city of San Francisco,” said Ben Davis, founder and chief visionary officer of ILLUMINATE, the nonprofit presenting organization for The Bay Lights.

It's an idea that took us 100 years to think of. 

You can’t have cookies without milk. And yet for almost 100 years, the Girl Scouts have been selling cookies, but milk has been nowhere in sight. Those delicious cookies were being dunked into nothing. 

In 2016 the penny finally dropped. We made sure the Boy Scouts were right next to the Girl Scouts, selling milk.

We launched our idea during Girl Scouts Week. We followed with Twitter hashtags so that whenever people were talking about how much they love #girlscoutcookies, we popped up, reminding them that you can’t have cookies without milk. A short film recapped our stunt to inspire Scouts groups all over the country to follow suit. 

Official “got milk?” patches were earned; cash was raised for the Boy Scouts; milk and cookies were enjoyed together; and all was right with the world.

Read about it on Creativity, where it was named Ad of the Day.

“Are you my grandma?” 

That’s the big question in our new campaign for GRANDMA’S Cookies. GRANDMA’S Cookies are fortunate to have the best name a cookie could hope for. However, with the exception of the grandma pictured on the package, they’ve never done anything to connect the brand to the nostalgia, warmth and coziness that grandmas make us feel. After GRANDMA’S 100 years of making cookies, we thought it was high time they did.

In each commercial, someone is eating a GRANDMA’S Cookie—a cookie that smells so delicious and looks so homemade that an onlooker becomes convinced that this person must be their grandma. Like, their actual grandma. And absolutely nothing will convince them otherwise.

Released: April 2016
