Monday marked the launch of a new global spot for our Harman client that promotes the Harman Kardon BDS home entertainment system. The campaign, called “Beautiful Sound,” features Jennifer Lopez and helps to increase awareness of the brand. In the :30 spot, J. Lo is seen using the Harman product to transform a dilapidated room into a beautiful living space.

The spot is currently airing in Europe and in the coming weeks will run in Asia and the United States.

‘Pass Out Cat’ Ranked Among Year’s Best

By Editor, December 2nd, 2011

We knew our “Kitty Massage” and “Pass Out Cat” spots to launch new Cat’s Pride® Fresh and Light™ would be popular among cat lovers.  But we’re pleased to announce that even months after the launch of the campaign, the spots are still getting recognition.

In September, “Pass Out Cat” was named “Spot of the Week” by Shoot Magazine.  Now, it has also been named no. 9 on Shoot’s 2011 Top 10 List for Post/Visual Effects Spots.

The spots were created through a partnership with the Moving Picture Company to create cats doing human-like activities.  The use of advanced CGI technology allowed us to tell stories that depict the bond between pet and owner. We’re honored that Shoot Magazine enjoys this work as much as we do!

Doner Volunteers With Forgotten Harvest

By Editor, November 28th, 2011

In the spirit of giving back to the community, 100 Doner employees donated their time and packing abilities to Forgotten Harvest, a non-profit food rescue distributor, over the course of two days in the month of November.

Working in groups of 25 across four shifts, the teams repackaged crates of tomatoes into 5-lb. bags that were then distributed to Metro Detroit families. It was a really great opportunity for us to get the chance to be active participants in the battle against hunger!

Check out some pictures from our volunteer effort below.
