HollandWest in collaboration with 5to60 produced a fun spot for the North Carolina Education Lottery called “Neighbors”.

Ancestry sponsored a three-part miniseries that will accompany the Lincoln work, which debuts February 20, the latest in A+E’s efforts to craft bespoke programming segments that burnish ad messages while at the same time keeping viewers tuned to the programing for which they originally came.

 

Each of the content segments accompanying the “Lincoln” project will be introduced by Christy Coleman, executive director of the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation in Williamsburg, VA, and a contributor to the documentary. In each vignette, descendants of formerly enslaved people in the U.S. discover family connections using recently added Freedman’s Bureau records on Ancestry. They discuss these findings with Nicka Sewell-Smith, a professional genealogist.

 

HollandWest was tasked with directing and crafting the stories which were written and produced by Jenile Brooks.

As part of the league’s “NBA Lane” campaign, the NBA has unveiled “Imagine,” a spot that honours the life and legacy of Dr. King ahead of MLK Day, which falls on Monday, Jan. 17. The 30-second video features @dwyanewade , whose presence and voice are interpolated with footage from the Civil Rights Movement as well as some of the most powerful sound bites from Dr. King’s “The American Dream” speech, given on July 4, 1965. HollandWest served as the production arm for this campaign.

Walmart is an American multinational retail corporation that operates discount department stores, hypermarkets, and grocery stores. This retail giant established an unparalleled reputation for every low pricing, but wanted to increase consumer awareness about their fresh groceries.

 In order to expand Walmart’s branding to include fresh groceries, our team collaborated with Global Hue to direct and produce a Walmart holiday cooking themed commercial. We feature celebrity icon and baking mogul Patti Labelle as she cooks an Easter meal with her family from start to finish using Walmart’s fresh groceries. We feature one stop grocery shopping for Easter ingredients at Walmart, and follow Patti as she bonds with her family cooking groceries at home. We watch Patti’s holiday party come together with whole and fresh foods. Find low prices on the food that brings us together for Easter; Walmart. #SaveMoneyLiveBetter
