Dairy Queen

So what are you getting your S.O. for Valentine’s Day? Flowers? Chocolates? A giant teddy bear? I thought so. And so did your S.O. You’ve become the worst kind of lover: predictable. It’s okay because, according to a study, so was most of America. 

DQ, of all places, had a solution. They came out with an ice cream cake perfectly sized for two. To support the launch, we created a campaign that told people to break the cliche of lackluster vday gifts. We opened with a spot that skewered those jewelry commercials that are as uninspired as your attempts at romance. OOF. Ice (cream cake) for that burn?

As part of the campaign, we sent vday press kits to news team, for one anchor to give to another. And a few did, on air. Is it weird I got a kick out of hearing my words come out of news anchors? Because, technically, I made the news.
