Description

Ready for some good, *clean*, fun? This week’s brainstorm is from the vault (Fall 2020) where we performed a 10-minute sniff test (okay, brainstorm) for Native. This brainstorm video resulted in us landing a big project with them this January, so we wanted to revisit it and of course, record a game tape intro discussing what it was like hearing from the VP of Marketing after making jokes about ‘Brad Pit’s pits,’ and how the Native project is going so far—including a real-life embarrassing story from our work on their new tagline. The audio isn’t *perfect* because at the time we were just recording via Zoom, and the episode is a shorty because ten minutes go by really quickly. But nevertheless, we perspired, err, persisted. Here were our favorite ideas from the ‘storm: 1. Practice safe sweats. 2. Sorry, we’re fresh outta parabens. 3. Clear your conscience, not the room. 4. Aluminum deodorant is the pits. 5. Make a clean break from toxic deodorants. You can head to our Instagram@obedientagency [https://www.instagram.com/obedientagency/]to watch the Highlight Reel Video on our IGTV and see the spec graphics we designed of some of our favorite concepts. (There were 31 slogans in total!) OR head to the Trophy Case section of our website atwww.obedientagency.com [https://www.obedientagency.com/] Smell ya later! Other tidbits that made their way into our episode against all odds: —Marcel the Shell with Shoes On —Meow Mix —Outkast —Brad Pitt —Britney Spears —Pepe Le Pew As the world’s first humor marketing agency, Obedient has developed creative branding for industry darlings like Clif Bar, Native, Argent, JOI, The University of Chicago, Alleyoop, Roche, and The Dallas Cowboys. But they would never brag about it in their episode description.

Hair we go again. It’s new episode time and this week’s featured brand is Billie—who makes ‘razors designed for womankind’ as well as other everyday essentials.

Can They Brand Casper Mattress?

Wake up sleepyheads: this week’s new episode is the opposite of a snoozefest. It features a brainstorm from the vault (January 2021) where we performed a 10-minute slumber party (okay, real-time ideation) for Casper but with a freshly-recorded recap intro. If you’ve been following along with us for a bit, you likely saw the video and graphics roll through back then, but we wanted to revisit the brainstorm and share some insights on why we did what we did, what we liked/disliked, and how it landed us a fun naming project with a new ice cream brand. The audio isn’t *perfect* because at the time we were just recording via Zoom, and the episode is a shorty because ten minutes go by really quickly. But nevertheless, we podcasted. Here were our favorite ideas from ye olde brainstorm: —Suite dreams are made of sheets. —The kind of lie you’ll be happy to believe. —The good, the bed, and the snuggly. —Insomnia? I haven’t heard that name in years. —We’re named after a ghost because when you sleep on a Casper mattress, you’d rather die than get out of bed.

Can They Brand Burrow?

Are you sitting down? Are you comfortable? Good. Go ahead and put your feet up for an episode as relaxing as our featured brand itself. Okay, maybe the episode is more entertaining than relaxing but, just let us have this segue. This week we let our brains cozy up to Burrow—the ‘luxury for real life’ couch company. Per the rules of the game, we set the clock for 20 minutes, put on our game faces, and got to work on creative concepts for Burrow that are worthy of a standing (or seated in this case) ovation. The episode kicks off with our “game tape” recap & insights before we share the highlights from the real-time brainstorm (and a long riff about anklets for some reason). You can head to our Instagram @obedientagency [https://www.instagram.com/obedientagency/] to watch the highlight reel video and see the spec graphics we designed of some of our favorite concepts (pasted below for your leisure). Fun/alarming fact: we ideated 39 slogans in total during the 20-minute ‘storm. 1. We come together so you can come together. 2. “And when I get that feeling, I want sectional healing.” 3. Live on Burrowed time. 4. Proceed with cushion. 5. Sit in the lap of luxury.
