DICK’S — The Backyard

It was the first holiday after the pandemic closure. Dick’s was eager to speak to the moment. Our insight was that one of the hardest parts of the pandemic was being away from your loved ones. Creating memories together. Especially ones at a Grandparent’s house. So we told the story of a Grandparent’s backyard, a place that was dormant during the pandemic but could now come back to life during the holiday this year.

This project also had a proud dad moment for me. My 6-year-old daughter drew the picture for the fridge. She was so stoked to see it in a commercial.
