Creativity at Play
Problem: During the 2012 Obama Presidential Campaign, we needed to media to cover negative stories about Mitt Romney.
Solution: Meet Mittnopoly, a board game created to highlight Romney's various flaws and foibles. "It's a game in which jobs are shipped overseas, millionaires and billionaires receive $250,000 tax breaks while middle-class families pay the price, students have to 'shop around' for affordable tuition, and corporations are people, my friend." Clicking on any square of the board took you to a different negative article about the GOP nominee.
Problem: In an attempt to carve out space and grab attention, the owner and brewer of Buffalo Creek Brewing needed help to grab attention.
Solution: Launch the small batch beer program with attention-grabbing flavors like Candy Corn Cream Ale (featured, right), Cream Soda Ale, Grandma’s Fruit Cake Ale, Jolly Rancher-infused Ale, and a Taylor Swift-inspired lavender blonde ale. They capture both media and social media’s attention and typically sell out within hours.
Problem: ABInBev needed to create an exciting event to invite government officials to attend in DC and showcase their new space.
Solution: A fall trip “around the world” event showcasing their worldwide portfolio of alcoholic beverages paired with seasonal foods.
Problem: Rise Gardens needed to capitalize on the gardening trend at the beginning of the pandemic, with little to no budget.
Solution: Instead of focusing on national press pitches, Jamie streamlined a topical pitch around growing your own food instead of heading to the grocery store to Scripps. The segment ran on 67 local TV news shows and their hydroponic garden sold out within a week.
Problem: No one wanted to be outside in Buffalo Creek Brewing’s biergarten in Chicago’s winter, but concerns around Covid still persisted and limited business at the taproom.
Solution: Market and brand the biergarten, which is picturesque and surrounded by trees and nature, as the Alpine Biergarten through social media and press. Featuring all of the elements of the biergarten that already existed like fire pits and a few decorative items, Jamie and the BCB team branded the biergarten with a theme that enticed thousands of Chicagoans to drink beer outdoors and drove sales through a traditionally difficult year for Chicago breweries.
