Pup-Peroni / GIPHY


Insight #1 —
I love branded content — said no one on the internet ever.
Insight #2 — But something the internet does love — dog content.
Insight #3 — And what the internet loves even more than dog content — their own dog.

So, we saw a paw-tunity to get people to share branded content by turning photos of their dogs into Pup-Peroni GIFs. With zero media dollars spent, these GIFs gained over 6.8 million views and launched a GIPHY channel that has over 16 million views to date.

Jeff Koons Studio / Artist


Years before I wanted to be an art director, I wanted to be an artist. And I worked as one — for Jeff Koons.

This was my my first and favorite job in NYC. I don’t miss working in the art world, but looking back it’s amazing that I was hired. I didn’t go to a fancy art school.

But then again… I didn’t go to a fancy ad school either.
