When the world’s largest retailer came to help modernize their aging bulk brand, Sam’s Club, we had to get unconventional. From quick-fire social plays to sharing a writer’s room with Kevin Hart , we were able to garner tangible results, impressions and most importantly, new memberships. I had the privilege of pitching and leading the creative push for Sam’s Club at VMLY&R since 2020.

Bring The Merry (Holiday ’21)
Not going to remind you of what 2020 did to the holidays. In 2021, we decided to double-down and BRING THE MERRY. It started as an innocent Kevin Hart cameo and turned into him renaming the store and bringing his friends along for the foolishness.
The holiday push led to 320M impressions, reached 57M across various channels and earned $1.13M in visit revenue.
