Special K Victory Chain

Done: December 2009 | Filed under: Application, Special K, Video, Website

The Special K Victory Chain connects people’s Twitter-length fitness and diet “victories” into an unbroken chain of support.

Inspired by President Obama’s campaign site which literally connected donors to one another and got them talking, I co-concepted the Victory Chain with a Leo Burnett art director.

The Chain lives on both Facebook and SpecialK.com.

Here’s a screenshot of the app on Facebook.

My Role: Conceptor, ACD

Ahh, healthful, flavorful, Beneful. I helped concept this site’s reason for being, up-sold the client on homepage video vignettes, and oversaw the copywriter.

Done: January 2007 | Filed under: Beneful, Website

My Role: Copywriter, Concepter, Salesman

How do you bring Beneful’s print magazine to life online? We added web-only articles as well as user comments – a tough sell to brands in early 2007 – to build a bit of community around the publication.

Here’s the site teaser trailer.
