RACING EXTINCTION

For a conservation geek like me, it was a thrill to be the creative lead on Discovery’s campaign for the critically acclaimed documentary Racing Extinction. When the filmmakers asked for a compelling call-to-action, our #StartWith1Thing initiative gave them the rallying cry they needed to ignite a global movement for change. High-impact print, digital and social campaigns, influencer partnerships and large-scale event activations caught the world’s attention, resulting in one of the most-watched cable documentaries in years.
