I teamed up with Director Adam Patch who I had previously worked with on our Starbucks Tweet-A-Coffee campaign. We chose animation to pull the viewer away from the "living room lifestyle" motif that dominates marketing today. We created a "fantastic-but-familiar" rhythm in the piece that focused on the connection of Comcast and Twitter - and less on details (which carrier, what DVR, which programming, etc.) From that starting point I wrote the script and began styleframes and storyboards.

Starbucks + Tweet-A-Coffee Partnership. For the launch I worked directly with Twitter's Brand Strategy and Starbucks Creative Team to produce a launch spot for the partnership. I worked with Ben Hughes and Adam Patch to write and direct the spot. The animated spot was so successful - Starbucks integrated it directly into their @replies and used the design language to influence their launch pages and iPhone 3.0 App launch.
