D/C keeps it real with new campaign for Ancestry.com
Posted in Ancestry.com, Broadcast, News | 21 December 2011 | by D/C
As anyone who has stayed up ’til 3 AM exploring it can attest (I’m looking at you, Bob Duncan), Ancestry.com is a fascinating and, yes, somewhat addictive experience. But while folks who’d gotten a taste were hooked, it seemed that the uninitiated didn’t know quite what was in store for them at the world’s largest online family history resource.
Enter a simple and compelling idea. Find people who are interested in their family history, but have never tried Ancestry.com, put them on camera and see what they discover. To bring their experiences to life, D/C enlisted the help of award-winning documentary filmmaker Sean Dunne. The result is sometimes poignant, sometimes funny and always totally real.
Look for D/C’s latest spots to roll out over the holiday break, complementing Ancestry’s existing work.

“Feel the Beat” album launches, Gary Wilson Day proclaimed
Posted in News, Tunes | 6 December 2011 | by D/C
Millions around the world are blowing off work today to stay home and groove on Gary Wilson’s new Tip Records album, Feel the Beat, available at iTunes, Amazon, eMusic, Spotify, Google Music and a digital outlet near you. Evidently, Gary Wilson Day was first proclaimed by the City Council of Escondido, CA, but the movement soon spread to El Cajon, Santee, Chula Vista, Elfin Forest and Pueblo Siding, among other San Diego area municipalities, as well everywhere else on the planet.
D/C gives Sonic and Mario the royal treatment
Posted in Broadcast, News, Sega | 9 November 2011 | by D/C
Sonic and Mario are gearing up to compete in the 2012 London Olympics next summer. Not sure if the Olympic committee is fully aware of it, but apparently a certain royal family is and recently hosted the mischievous duo at their palace. Or at least that’s the scenario sketched out in Duncan/Channon’s new spot for Sega’s upcoming Wii and Nintendo 3DS game “Sonic and Mario at the London 2012 Olympic Games.” Spot will run throughout North America, in Brazil and online in the EU. Both the game and commercial are aimed at the young and the young-at-heart. (But oldsters are welcome to watch, too.)

You were truly en fuego. Get a load of the pictures and video. Or see them on the handy-dandy Tip Records app you downloaded at the party. Or download the Tip Records app right now and then check ’em out. Way to bring it.
Tipmas 2011: Gary Wilson, Tip Records & a whole mess of wtf
Posted in News, Tunes | 14 October 2011 | by D/C
The year’s Tipmas finds devotees at Duncan/Channon celebrating the First Annual Tip Records Holiday Extravaganza on Friday, November 4. This solemn/utterly ridiculous day marks the official launch of Tip Records and official release of the new Gary Wilson album on Tip Records, as well as the official annual celebration of the entire Tip Records roster of superstars. It also marks the official release of a bunch of whoop-dee-do involving food, fire, booze, hotpants and rubber gloves. Due to overwhelming demand, 2011′s Tipmas observances will be taking place at the Public Works venue in San Francisco’s swingin’ Mission. A happy Tipmas in advance to all!
Actual fact: actual Gary Wilson, actual legend, signs with Tip Records
Posted in News, Tunes | 5 October 2011 | by D/C
For reals. The man about whom Beck sang, in “Where It’s At”: “My man Gary Wilson rocks the most.” The man whom the New York Times called “odd” and “wonderful.” The man about whom they made the documentary You Think You Really Know Me, which premiered at Lincoln Center. The man who performed on Jimmy Fallon last year because ?uestlove is one of his big fans (another one is Matt Groening).
Yeah, that Gary Wilson.
And on November 4, 2011, Tip Records — yeah, that Tip Records, an otherwise inexplicable division of Duncan/Channon — is going to release Gary’s next album, Feel the Beat, which happens to be the same day he headlines the First Annual Tip Records Holiday Extravaganza at Public Works in San Francisco. True story (unlike some of the stuff on this site).
