WHEN YOUR NAME IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM

Overstock.com were facing an identity crisis - people were assuming they just sold overstock items when really they sell quality products for your home.

 

Getting judged on your name sucks, so that became my idea.

 

I created scenarios where everyday people were getting judged on their names and had fun writing ridiculous names like Cynthia McFaceCheese and Jeramiah Pillockwaffle.

 

Then, as this was a freelance job, I sent all my scripts off, and hoped some would get made. They did!

 

• The ads ran on national TV (US)

• 4 million views across YouTube

• High direct response

• Out-performed competitor creative in sentimental metrics (whatever that means)

• Improved purchasing consideration
