To increase excitement and ticket sales for the upcoming classical season, Watson Creative’s strategy was to highlight local tastemakers and influencers in the city and connect them back to the creative spirit that courses through the symphony. This video, one of a three-part series, features former NFL quarterback and Oregon Duck hero, Dennis Dixon, as he connects the work ethic that drives him to the philosophy and music of German composer Gustav Mahler. Produced at Watson Creative.

Chown Hardware wanted to make a splash with the announcement of their new showroom located in the SoDo neighborhood of Seattle, WA, and although they already have a showroom in neighboring Bellevue, the clients wanted to show how this 140-year-old company was venturing into new territories to offer their services outside of the Portland metro area. To differentiate the announcement and generate buzz, we leaned into our shared love of Wes Anderson to tell the story, engaging in an extensive study of the cinematography, pacing, typography, music, and color palettes of one of the most profound auteurs in cinema today.

Isolated. Uncertain. Out of control. This is the everyday reality for thousands of kids and teens in the foster care system across the country. Without the stability of a home and family, having the right support and resources can be the difference in walking two opposite paths in life. Youth Villages provides this support and services to more than 25,000 young people every year. With an upcoming fundraiser, Youth Villages partnered with Watson Creative to produce a video telling the story of Donovan Ford, an Olympic weightlifter who grew up in foster care and found family in an unlikely place.

Riding the city’s excitement for the Blazer’s 2019 playoff push, I took my camera and a couple of co-workers and headed to a nearby park to shoot a little promo piece for our studio. While the Blazers were inspiring a city to hit the court, let’s just say we learned to stick with what we know… This video was shot and edited in an afternoon and was pushed out on our studio’s social channels.
