10 (with a bullet?)

Posted in News | 18 July 2011 | by D/C

The San Francisco Business Times has published its annual list of the biggest SF ad agencies (by staff, if not by moral standing) and, lo and behold, a familiar name has now arrived in the company of such Bay Area industry stalwarts as Goodby, Silverstein and DraftFCB and Publicis. And this seemed kind of cool and woo-hoo worthy.

All due respect from new John Muir Health campaign

Posted in Broadcast, News, Print, Digital, Outdoor | 31 May 2011 | by D/C

What do people want from their doctors? It starts with a little r-e-s-p-e-c-t. That’s what consumers told John Muir Health and, not coincidentally, what John Muir Health has delivered patients for decades. That insight is the basis for a comprehensive new campaign created by Duncan/Channon, JMH’s agency of record since July, 2010. The work is designed to reassure consumers, especially the moms who drive family healthcare decisions, that at John Muir Health patients are viewed as partners. Launching today, the effort ranges from TV, cinema and out-of-home to print, banners, mobile, Facebook and Pandora ads, and more. John Muir Health is one of California’s — and the nation’s — most highly-rated healthcare systems.

See more after the jump. Continue reading

These latest :30s mostly feature the characters that were introduced last spring, including Frank the Saver. The spots were created and developed by Duncan/Channon – in partnership with the Esurance marketing team – and produced by Company Films of LA. The director was Fred Goss. (More spots after the jump.)

New Citrix spot shows some meetings change the world

Posted in Broadcast, News | 10 May 2011 | by D/C

A new 60-second spot for Citrix GoToMeeting, launching today and created by D/C, points out that connection and collaboration can truly make a difference in the world. And, frankly, you might want to grab a tissue before watching. The commercial is part of a comprehensive national campaign across traditional and digital channels designed to both elevate the brand and drive trial.

“The work — much of it created while collaborating using GoToMeeting — champions the idea that a product can be both incredibly simple and powerful at the same time,” said ECD Parker Channon. D/C began collaborating with Citrix in early 2011 and has been working on strategy and brand story, in addition to TV, radio, print and interactive.
