“Florida the Emergency State” Gift Shop
In collaboration with Zubi Advertising and The CLEO Institute, we created a high-impact spot to demonstrate the effects of rising sea levels and chronic flooding in Florida. We redesigned a real gift shop in Miami Beach with custom climate crisis-related gift shop items and a shocking surprise: a flash flood with 5,600 gallons of water.
The CLEO Institute is a non-profit, non-partisan organization exclusively dedicated to climate crisis education and advocacy.
Pixar in Real Life
When Disney+ wanted an original hidden camera show on their new platform, they knew who to call. Pixar In Real Life brings iconic characters and moments from Pixar films into the real world with this collaboration marking Pixar’s first live-action series. Filmed on location in New York City, the 12-episode series surprises and delights real people in public places when they least expect it. Now streaming on Disney+.
The production was flawless, and you worked tirelessly to keep fascinated passers-by engaged and entertained for ten hours. Terrific work.

Grand Central Takeover with SmileDirectClub
To celebrate the release of SmileDirectClub's new Nighttime Clear Aligners, we built a bedroom in the middle of Grand Central Terminal and staged an epic 10-hour event.
Watch how commuters and tourists reacted to our ridiculous marathon of stunts, which featured Dancing With The Star's Jordan Fisher, the New York City Gay Men's Chorus, and way too many jumping sheep. The project won an Ex Award, the world’s largest recognition program for experiential marketing.
The Giant Boombox
We partnered with Target and custom built a giant boombox with a working plug and outlet and placed it on Pier 17 at the South Street Seaport. Unsuspecting New Yorkers who plugged it in were surprised by a massive holiday dance party with 100 acrobatic dancers, thousands of Christmas lights placed on historic ships, and 10 hidden snow machines. The project won an Ex Award, the world’s largest recognition program for experiential marketing. Check out our two previous Target holiday collaborations The Light Switch and Epic Christmas Caroling.
Thanks so much to the team for a fantastic video. It was our grandest production yet, and I couldn't be more proud of the work. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
-Travis Robertson, Senior Director, Creative at Target
I can't thank you guys enough for everything you did. From the timing of this project to the ability to roll with punches – you guys ran a top-notch production. It was an absolute pleasure working with you!

The Giant Card
After a successful 2017 holiday campaign where the brand saw year-over-year sales increase, Hallmark and FleishmanHillard came back a few months later and asked us to come up with something huge for Mother’s Day. We teamed with Modern Family’s Julie Bowen to surprise mom’s in Los Angeles with a massive reproduction of a Hallmark Signature card with a personalized note inside.
We’ve worked with DVRG on three projects on behalf of two different clients in just over a year’s time. They are incredible to work with and have blown past our expectations with each project. They think of every. little. detail. and create phenomenal, emotional storytelling videos that are inspiring and engaging for consumers
-Mandy Levings, FleishmanHillard
Big Ten Run
Fox Sports wanted to create a huge scene to announce that the Big Ten was coming to FS1. They partnered with us to get 100 football players to run through Times Square, surprising and delighting New Yorkers and tourists along the way.
The run happened in real time, starting with a live morning show TV hit and ending at the NASDAQ, where our performers rang the opening bell with Fox Sports executives.
