With the Super Bowl around the corner, football and showing up for your team is top of mind. That’s the thinking behind our latest “Seat Belts Save Lives” campaign with the Ohio Department of Transportation and Ohio Traffic Safety Office, featuring Ohio Lt. Gov. Jim Tressel reminding drivers to buckle up, every trip.

Traffic safety campaigns work best when they’re emotionally grounded in real-world behavior and statistics. That’s where our team thrives! Our goal is to develop campaigns that cut through, resonate with audiences, and ultimately change habits.

As millions of fans tune in for the big game, we’re proud to be doing our part to remind drivers that the most important win happens when everyone gets home safely.

Now that the holidays are over, here’s a behind-the-scenes moment you didn’t ask for (and neither did we!).

We’ve been exploring how AI tools can support our processes and where they fit within the work we do. What we’ve learned is simple: AI can be a powerful tool, but it's still just a tool!

The real value comes from human imagination, judgment, and creative intent. It takes the right people to ask the right questions, shape the ideas, and fine-tune raw outputs into work that’s meaningful, thoughtful, and effective. Just ask our creative team how much extra work goes into making anything worthwhile with AI (after they're done banging their heads against the wall).
