Pickle juice, meet the Chicago Marathon.

We helped bring our client McDonald's’ Pickle Boost to life, launching a limited-edition pickle brine shot for runners who swear by the cramp remedy timed to the biggest race weekend in Chicago.

From a Lakefront Trail pop-up that brought run clubs together for Friday shakeout runs to Pickle Boost Pit Stops at McDonald’s restaurants along the course, our team put the product in runners’ and fans hands when it mattered most.

We work with McDonald’s year-round: reaching our fans in their communities by creating experiences that give them a reason to talk about the brand.

To launch Purina Tidy Cats+, our team opened the files on the Special Litter Unit, a crime procedural where every litter offense became a major investigation starring Kumail Nanjiani and Jordan Howlett.

From a three-part original social series to paid and earned media, we built the case far beyond the screen. We even opened Litter Crimes HQ in NYC, where fresh recruits could report for duty and train with the SLU.

The verdict? 323M+ earned impressions and counting. One killer idea became a fully integrated world that kept cat owners on the trail. Case closed? Not yet. Catch the full series on Tidy Cats today.

Case closed? Not quite. There’s more to come.
