Awards mean a little more to us than we'd like, and a little less than they probably should. Thankful for brave clients who believe in us and the best crew in the business. We are honored to say that pound for pound, since we started in 2013, no one in Cleveland has won more Addys than Faction.

It was an honor to produce this new commercial for the United Way. They are doing important work and we hope you will consider joining the fight against systemic poverty in our community. Thanks to our friends at flourish for trusting us with this special opportunity!

It is no secret that Kevin DeOliveira loves science fiction. And TED Talks. Inspired by Heather Barnett's talk from a few years ago, "What humans can learn from semi-intelligent slime," he spent the past couple days creating this dark and evocative abstract animation. A swift personal work between commercial projects. While the enigmatic subject matter appears to have been born of the imagination for a sci-fi film, it isn't fiction at all. I could not be more proud of this piece; it oozes Kevin's passion and has stirred great intrigue in me - arguably the least “sciencey” guy on planet earth. With this, we give you Physarum Polycephalum. Enjoy. (and please God watch it in 1080p!)

Our last demo reel came out in the fall of 2012. A lot has changed since then, so we finally made a new one. We wanted to do something different than the standard rapid-fire montage, so we designed it to speak a little more to who we are and what we believe in. Thanks to all of the amazing people who made it possible. Please check it out!

We've always said that we want to do business in a way that turns clients into true friends. Last week we received an email from a client team we love that said, "We love you, miss you guys, and can't wait to work together again!" That was it. Today, from another client, we received a signed contract for a new project with a heart in the signature! Some pretty cool validation that we're on the right track!

New Work Wednesday!

The festivals are over and we're excited to finally share SELLING OUT with all of you... It's a journey into the wild and wacky world of artist David McDowell, where he explores striking a balance between making the art he loves... and making a living.

Last week at the Addys we were honored with a Judge's Choice Award for our animated piece "The Universal Field." Kevin had heard a fascinating talk from a particle physicist and had an awesome creative vision for bringing it to life in a way that showcased our motion design capabilities. We were humbled to have our work recognized by such a talented judge and wanted to share his short video presentation from the show, where he talks about why he loved the piece...

Congratulations to all who participated - the judging was tough this year, but there was some fantastic work! And thanks to American Advertising Federation Cleveland for putting on such a fun show. See you next year!
