A brave entrepreneur invented a cool device that allows kids to exercise and watch TV at the same time. We originally created a :60 second spot to introduce this new product to the world, and we followed it up with user testimonials to verify the storytelling of the spot.

Sales of the device quadrupled in the first week. Click here to check out the campaign.
We redesigned the website with a dynamic slideshow tasked to both sell the product and tell a compelling story.
