Google—Star Wars

When a couple of our favorite Creative Directors asked Caspian and I to team up on a dream project—help 72andSunny and Google launch 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens'—we jumped in.

After months of concepting and selling to Google, to Disney, and to JJ Abrams, the final idea was born.

Dark vs Light. Choose wisely and watch as your entire Google universe is transformed. The work unfurled in a series of phases leading up to the launch of the film. The results got people talking.

The whole thing culminated in a second-screen experience that gives people everywhere the power to battle stormtroopers with their own lightsabers, their smartphones. It garnered loads of press and accolades.

The experience spanned the entire Google product universe. Here are just a few.

Our Role
We were part of a core team that developed ideas for presentation to the Star Wars and Google clients. Shortly after the final concepts were chosen, Caspian and I left to help build the Agency Inside at Intel. The talented teams at 72andSunny and Google picked up where we left off and took the concepts to the finish line.
