D4 also won 2 gold awards for “Video Branded Content” for our Lincoln Logs social media campaign. Lincoln Logs (distributed by K’NEX) had no Facebook or social media presence. In the last quarter of 2014, we created over a dozen animated short films featuring Lincoln Log characters. Those films supported by D4’s social media efforts drove over 100,000 likes and hundreds of thousands more interactions with the toy company in less than three months all in time for the holiday season.

D4’s Executive Creative Director Rich Wakefield brought the “Torn Apart” campaign, which included TV spots and out-of-home, to life with the idea of making collage-style art directly out of the shreds of actual case files documents, medical forms, insurance bills, and other records of real life people that the law firm represented in life altering work-related injuries. D4 contracted renowned collage artist, Ian Wright from the United Kingdom, to bring the concept to fruition. Rich commented, “It was powerful to see the art blown up to over 12’ by 8’ on the walls of our client’s new offices. Will inspire future employees as well as give hope to their clients.”

Kurt Shore, D4 President commented, “Imbuing law advertising with highly emotive authenticity and artfulness is quite groundbreaking. The truth is most people hate advertising- so do we- unless the work makes you feel something be it a tear or a smile or both. When we can connect such emotion to the brands we work with, then we’re doing our job.”
