The real brief underneath the brief: how do you make people give a damn about recycling while they're drinking beer?
A beer from Golden, Colorado — clean air, green land, mountain water. The sustainability angle was obvious. Making it land in-market was not.
In the brainstorm, something clicked. Can is what you drink from. Can is what you do when you're all in. And sustainability only works when everyone participates.
Hence: EVERYONE CAN.
One word. Two meanings. A platform that made recycling feel like a rally cry, not a reminder. It translated from POS to display to in-store footprint — and it won the business.
I came in freelance. I left with an ACD title.

Kraft Singles is made from 2% milk. Real milk. The kind that comes from a cow. Hence:
Cow. Milk. Cheese.
Sometimes the idea is already on the brief. It just needs someone to say it out loud — with enough conviction that the room stops and goes, yes, that.
The New Business Team called it the most exciting work they'd seen in a while. The Creative EVP agreed. We didn't win the pitch. But in agency terms, that kind of response travels.

The client wanted a static post. My answer was a GIF — internally, the response was "cool, makes sense." The client called it a grand slam.
From there, the :30 wrote itself. Not a highlights reel. Coors Light's tag was Climb On — and Chipper Jones had a climb worth telling. PVC pipes in the backyard. Switch-hitting by choice. A Hall of Fame career built on decisions nobody made for him.
Bobby Cox and John Schuerholz knew that story. We put them on camera and I found #10’s climb in the transcripts.
The client liked it enough to take it to broadcast.

In Texas, Miller Lite is brewed by Texans for the uniquely Texan way of doing things — football, BBQ, music. It has to come from the ground up or the BS is called.
Made for TX was that idea made plain. Not "hey Texas, we see you." More like: this beer was always yours.
United in Taste had to carry Miller Lite's existing Great Taste equity and still mean something local. The insight was simple — Texans have the strongest state identity in the country. Taste was the bridge.
But the real work was in the POS headlines. East Texas is not West Texas. The Panhandle is not the Hill Country. I did the regional research and wrote to each one specifically — because slapping a lone star on a can and calling it local is the amateur move.

The name wrote itself. Getting the CEO to notice it in a wall of competitive ads was the plan — it worked.

I love golf. Which probably helped.
But the moment It's Your HHonors clicked, I walked straight to the CD — no meeting, no deck — and said it out loud with enough r's that he couldn't not get it.
It's Your HHonorrrrrs.
The visual was mine too. A golfer asleep on a dreamy tee box — because that's what the ultimate golf vacation should feel like.
The program ran. 50k entries expected. 200k+ delivered. 10% membership lift targeted. 20%+ achieved.
Sometimes the name is the idea. You just have to hear it.

Writing within constraints still leaves room to move.
Eighty days. Eighty prizes. The kind of gear that assumes you know how to use it.
My job: lead every headline with WIN, name the prize, and make it sound like Skoal said it. Writing within a constraint that specific either fits or it doesn't.
I wanted to call it Saturdaily. Because if every day has something to win, every day feels like a Saturday.
