Featured on Dieline.

In the last few years, salmonella and related scares have increasingly made the news, Abbotsfords Farms, firmly believed that sunny side up eggs and cookie dough are too delicious to give up. They were looking to create a safe and worry-free egg option to consumers. Their answer was Pasteurization. The branding needed to be consumer friendly and memorable. Thus, the idea was to embrace the egg by giving it a unique personality that stood out from the rest of competitors in the market.

Wink Helps Second Harvest Provide 1.7 Million Meals

Press Release

Wink partnered with Second Harvest Heartland to create the brand identity and campaign called  “Give A Little, Feed A Lot“. Hunger has doubled in Minnesota in the past five years. Local communities’ families, children and seniors are in need, in fact 1 in 10 Minnesotans is at risk of hunger. The idea was to have a series of icons that would speak to each age and gender within the marketing communications. In addition, the food tray served as a perfect visual metaphor for food hunger. The bright, simple and impactful branding were included in PSA’s, microsites and in store posters. In terms of donations, the campaign provided more than 1.7 million meals to Minnesota Feeding America food banks and partner food pantries and over 12 million in media impressions.

Excuse Clock is the perfect trick for when you’re running late – just reset the clock and voila, you’re right on time. Or, say you want to get out of a boring meeting. Crank the time forward, get up and leave. Now that everyone uses their phone as a watch… and phones are automatically set for the right time, it’s amazing how people get faked out by Excuse Clock. This version of Excuse Clock allows you to re-set the time from a minute to sixty minutes behind or ahead, then displays your fake time in a totally convincing lock screen. Excuse Clock was made by Best Buy Mobile for members of their Happy 24 program – just for the fun of it.

Its available for both iPhone and Android.
