Roubaix

Client:
Specialized
  • Roubaix

    One of the crown jewels of Specialized Bicycle’s offerings is the Roubaix, a men’s bike built for the hellish one-day Paris–Roubaix race, which Philippe Gilbert won in 2019. But, in a momentous shift: the new Roubaix has been designed as a gender-neutral bike and will launch a category-defining departure from gendered frames altogether.

    To announce the news, Specialized released a powerful spot the week of the Paris–Roubaix itself. The spot is told from the point of view of the road—and not just any road, but the most grueling section of cobblestone in the race, the Trouée d’Arenberg.

    In the film we hear the menacing voice of the road explain how it lives to inflict pain on its riders, irrespective of gender. The film’s climax then reveals that the Roubaix riders are in fact women—a poignant act on this stage of the all-male race. 

    The equality-championing brand ends the film with a call to open up the Paris–Roubaix race to all genders, just as Specialized has done with the Roubaix bike.

Pavlovian-Response Scented Ad

    Research shows that most people wait until they’re actually buying a car before they think about getting a car insurance quote. Research also shows that smell is the sense most closely connected with memory formation.

    Those are the insights that inspired us to create ads scented with New Car Smell for Liberty Mutual Insurance. As people test-drive and buy cars, we figured the smell of new car would trigger subconscious memories about the Liberty Mutual ad they previously saw.

    To engage with a consumer during this specific moment where they’re making a decision about their insurance, we used a print ad that would give people a Pavlovian response to catch car buyers at the moment that matters most.

    One of the most talked-about movies this Halloween wasn’t in theaters; it was a first-of-its-kind live-interactive paranormal thriller from Xfinity—powered by xFi Pods.

    On October 16, with the help of an audience on Twitter, a team of paranormal investigators made their way through the largest haunted house in the US, the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose. But halfway through their journey, things suddenly went horribly, horribly wrong. The house appeared to become possessed. And one by one, the investigators went missing.

    Viewers lost it.

    #ProjectDeadZone garnered over 5 million views and still had Twitter buzzing days after it aired.
