Outdoor Campaign

Whether you're sitting in traffic or doing the speed limit, while driving in the Chicagoland area you might have seen one of these billboards for Perma-Seal - The Proven Solution.  "Cleverly provocative" is how we would describe the approach..."Best in Category - Outdoor" is how the NJ Ad Club described it.

"Stream On" Blu-ray Player Campaign

Custom video content for POS and on-line product implementation. Also created ad templates for weekly retail specials. The challenge centered around non-availability of studio content, i.e. TV shows, movie clips, etc. which were vital in communicating the user experience with the device. The solution was to produce a generic short film, entitled "Shakedown Street" that the client would own for implementation in this piece, as well as others in the future.

"Appetite for Life" Tourism Video

The mission was simple. Portray the experience of what a vacation on St. Maarten would be like. However, the mission wasn’t without its challenges. The production crisscrossed the island for three days to capture the sights and sounds that exemplify St. Maarten, at all hours of the day and night. FORT also created transit ads and print ads to further promote the island.
