When we heard there was only one Blockbuster left in the world, we had a crazy thought: what if we became their Agency of Record?

We flew out to Bend, Oregon to meet with management. They liked our ideas, and we were signed. We were working on a campaign for them and then...

COVID hit. We pivoted and bought a billboard that showed off their core strength: personal recommendations. 



A Bend resident posted a picture of the billboard on Reddit, where it rocketed to the top of the front page, ending up with 51,000 upvotes. It even got a shout-out on NBC News. 

More importantly, Blockbuster’s phones rang off the hook, and their merchandise sold out online.
