Writer/Producer

USA Network teamed up with Toyota to be the exclusive sponsor of Royal Pains' season 5 premiere episode.

BET Real Husbands of Hollywood and Ride Along 2 Integration

Creative Director

This pod buster content was produced to feel like short (or Kevin Hart sized) episodes of BET’s original series and fake reality show “The Real Husbands of Hollywood.” 

With the in-theater premiere of Ride Along 2 and season premiere of Real Husbands both in January 2016 it was pitched to studio a plot thread to leverage is now that Kevin and Ice Cube are done filming Ride Along 2, Kevin expects Ice Cube to join his merry band of Real Husbands. To Kevin’s surprise Ice Cube has a very different opinion on the offer. 

BET and Centric "Old School Cool” Black Music Month Campaign

Creative Director

This Promax Awards nominated campaign focused on artist's who live and breathe the old school style in their music be it jazz, R&B even all the way to 90's Hip-Hop.

Each talent was a given a short form poetic manifesto to voice over which was then matched over a classic style visual indicative of the feelings expressed by them.

Singers featured were Adrian Marcel, Antonique Smith, H.E.R. (Gabi Wilson) and Stacy Barthe.

Sponsors included Budweiser, U.S. Air Force, Nivea and Toyota.

BET Shaft "The Truths About Shaft"

Creative Director

What better way to find out more about John Shaft II than through the lens of his “family.” In this concept BET shot the cast individually, getting each to answer the question “Who is John Shaft?”

Intercut with John Shaft’s own answers (and with supporting film footage) we quickly discover that each cast member has a very unique point of view on John that doesn’t exactly match with what John Shaft thinks.

Get Hard “Hart to Hart”

Creative Director

Aside from the :30 tune-in, these vignettes appeared during a marathon stunt for The Real Husbands of Hollywood as part of a promotion for the film "Get Hard." They feature Kevin Hart engaging in a "Hart to Hart" interview with his prison expert character from the movie “Darnell."

Kevin, to his embarrassment, quickly learns that Darnell is not the thug he has made himself out to be.

Creative Director

The stars of “Girls Trip” Regina Hall, Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Tiffany Haddish went on another “Girls Trip.” This time to the BET Awards where they presented a Lifetime Achievement Award to their teen idols New Edition.

In this candid and fun integration the ladies spilled the tea on what they were wearing on the red carpet and even their favorite New Edition members.  

Comedy Central McDonald’s “Angus Third Pounder Private Eye”

Writer/Producer/Director

What was the best way to highlight McDonalds new product launch of the Angus Third Pounder during National Hamburger Month in May? With puppets of course! 

USA Character Album “Moen STo”

Writer/Producer/Director

This co-branded spot tied the story of a young woman's love of great form, function and beauty to the Moen STo faucet, which by its unique design epitomizes all those qualities. 

Comedy Central KFC “Hometown Heroes”

Writer/Producer/Director

To highlight the launch of KFC's $2.99 "Real Deal" lunch meals, this spot celebrated the story of a "real" absolutely ridiculous everyday hero who went way above and beyond the call of duty to help a person in distress. 

BET Being Mary Jane and Star Wars: The Force Awakens Integration

Creative Director

The stressful world of a successful news anchor and a galaxy far, far away don't scream synergy but there are themes that cross over between "Being Mary Jane" and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. For example both universes feature a powerful, strong female lead on a journey of discovery.

As featured, Gabrielle Union spoke candidly about this and other intersecting themes as well as her love for the Star Wars mythology. 

USA 137th Westminister Kennel Club Dog Show “Dream”

Writer/Producer

This promo sponsored by Purina Pro Plan helped the 2013 Westminister Kennel Club Dog Show fetch the best Tuesday night performance on USA Network since 2008 with +32% P18-49 and +21% P25-54 over 2012's Tuesday night coverage, and up double-digits with all key adult and women demos.

Writer/Producer

USA's Character Backstory franchise takes viewers inside the stories behind the world's most memorable and beloved advertising icons.

This spot showed viewers how a little white duck with little to say, but a lot of personality, transformed Aflac Insurance into an international powerhouse. 

USA Character Gallery “Hershey’s S’mores”

Writer/Producer/Director

As you'll see, quality family time killers like mobile devices, computers and yes, even sibling rivalry don't stand a chance against the deliciousness of S'mores. 

Comedy Central Dominos “A Sandwich Story”

Writer/Producer/Director

Think TLC's "A Baby Story" but with sandwiches! 

USA Character Gallery “Geico Maxwell the Pig”

Writer/Producer

Geico's Maxwell the Pig is an iconic piece of work so of course it made sense he'd be featured in a USA Character Gallery. "Boots and pants and boots and pants and boots and pants..."
