Over the arc of a career, if you're lucky you launch a few rockets. Here are a couple of our universally notable efforts. Each one of the commercials we created for Anheuser-Busch made it onto top-five lists in the Top 50 Super Bowl spots of all time by Advertising Age and USA Today One on the AdAge list and the other USA Today.

Above is a creative story about threading an emotional needle. This commercial ran just one time but lives on years later with multiple millions of YouTube views
A quote from AdAge:
"3. Budweiser, "Respect." Simple but spectacular: The Budweiser Clydesdales pay eloquent tribute to a country shattered by Sept. 11. The marketer and the creator of the spot, Hill, Holliday, Connors Cosmopulos took some heat for "commercializing" tragedy. But consumers loved the spot — and so do we."

"Respect" owns a permanent place in the 9/11 museum in New York City and has been remade twice for the tenth and twentieth anniversary of September 11.
Below is a small sample of what people still say on social media twenty years later.
"Replay" below was the top spot in the USAToday AdMeter.
No easy feat. Shot above 10,000 feet in Telluride Colorado with a real Zebra on scene. No special FX here my friends.
