Branding
The California brand is built on an attitude.
We uncovered that the people of California and their unique approach to life is what truly sets the state apart. We coined this ‘The California Attitude’ and it’s been the brand foundation ever since. In 2013, after extensive global research in 11 countries, a new creative platform was established to fuel the California brand and serve as an anchor for all marketing activities around the world. California is the land of boundless opportunity, a place where you don’t just dream, you dream big. The Dream Big creative platform has been activated across channels, compelling would-be travelers through an open invitation to chase their dreams in California.

Epic California backdrops combined with the power of celebrity and a dose of self-deprecating humor have proven a winning formula for Visit California’s iconic TV commercials.
Play
We applied this winning approach to a family-oriented TV spot built off the insight that parents want a vacation that works for the whole family. California is the ultimate family playground where kids rule, and parents have fun too.
Play
To reach content-hungry consumers, we brought California’s “if you can dream it, you can do it” spirit to life with video storytelling. The Dream365 Project launched with a 24-hour takeover of YouTube’s masthead featuring a new video each hour.
Play
Next, we built Dream365TV – an inspirational on-demand video network dedicated to California and the promise of dreaming big. Original series spanning a range of topics, invite viewers to find a dream, fuel a dream or just watch something awesome.

We moved people to overcome the agony of defeat.

We tapped into two key insights to drive post-season sign-ups: how personal Fantasy Football team names can be and the agony that comes with a losing record.

IMPACT
30% increase in sign-ups
In the first year, online
sign-ups increased by more than 30%.
5 seasons strong
Intended to be used for one season, the spot resonated so strongly with the audience that it ran for five consecutive seasons.
Emmy winner
The spot also won NFL.com an Emmy.
Opportunity
We reminded fans they have an opportunity to redeem themselves.
By participating in the NFL Fantasy Playoff game, players could once again become hopeful and sign up for more (potential agony). The success of this initial project led to additional promotional initiatives with NFL Network, including NFL philanthropic efforts and the creation of an Emmy-winning Super Bowl spot.
Play
For millions of NFL fans, fantasy football is more than a hobby — it’s a passion. But by season’s end, there is often more agony than ecstasy. Luckily, NFL.com’s Fantasy Playoff Challenge gives those who suffered a losing season a second chance.
Play
From the draft to the combine, training camp to opening weekend, NFL Network brings football to dedicated fans 365 days a year. This Super Bowl spot, featuring Darren McFadden, reminds fans that as one season ends, a brand new one is just beginnin
Play
Spend your day with the NFL. Some people will spend their Sunday playing golf, going to church or doing yard work. But true football fans will spend their Sunday with NFL Network’s flagship show — NFL GameDay.
