Coffee jolts the life into you. So why does the coffee industry talk like a gentle hug overlooking a sunset? Kicking Horse was game to change that with their first-ever campaign.
The campaign was recognized in LLB’s Work of the Year Canada 2024, has 2.3M views on YouTube AND just as importantly was featured in Horse Canada Magazine. Yeehaw.

To remind parents how deliciously therapeutic hot chocolate can be, we invented Melt Therapy: an activation where Canadians can melt away the thing we all hate the most - the last couple of years.
We also built a website so anyone in Canada could order a free kit and do some melting at home.
They sold out faster than you can say “Nestle Carnation Hot Chocolate.”

Throughout our lives, women are surrounded with language that tells us we’re bad with money. It’s time to change that conversation.
We launched with a short film then followed with a petition to eliminate gender bias in dictionaries.
It sparked some great conversation. And even better texts from friends.

Scarborough and the Scarborough Health Network are underestimated, underfunded, and the underdogs of Toronto. In their hospitals, they work twice as hard and get half the funding. But it doesn’t slow them down. If you know Scarborough, you know they have this intangible grit, this quiet superpower that helps them defy the odds and jump the barriers.
We successfully raised $168 million.

Romance is overrated, but bromance? It's a beautiful untapped well of awkwardness.
For Valentine's Day, we turned Pizza Hut boxes into cheesy cards and got bros to send them to their significant bros.
