The iconoclastic global brand has a new division in Russia that’s an ongoing D/C client (it’s a long story). On the heels of its “punk rock opera,” David Comes to Life, the band Fucked Up came to Moscow for the first time for a VICE-promoted, Adidas-sponsored concert. The poster boy is singer Damian Abraham. The color palette is echt Russian. The show sold out.
Are you ready for some football (commercials)? Tune in to ESPN and elsewhere on your cable dial tonight to see the first post-NFL-lockout spot from the world’s largest ticket marketplace — and cherished Duncan/Channon client — StubHub. Print and out-of-home to come soon. Go, D/C Deamons!*
(*Inside joke. Refers to soccer team agency once sponsored that proceeded to misspell “Demons” on their jerseys.)
This past May the Brooklyn-based, world-dominating hipster brand VICE finally expanded into Russia. It turned out the Russian franchisee was an American expat with, let’s just say, Duncan/Channon connections. Here are a couple of the teaser videos D/C developed, one for the arrival of the brand, one for the brand’s big Moscow launch party (below), sponsored by Puma, styled as a Puma Social Club event (for “after-hours athletes”) and featuring bar sports. Like darts.
What do people want from their doctors? It starts with a little r-e-s-p-e-c-t. That’s what consumers told John Muir Health and, not coincidentally, what John Muir Health has delivered patients for decades. That insight is the basis for a comprehensive new campaign created by Duncan/Channon, JMH’s agency of record since July, 2010. The work is designed to reassure consumers, especially the moms who drive family healthcare decisions, that at John Muir Health patients are viewed as partners. Launching today, the effort ranges from TV, cinema and out-of-home to print, banners, mobile, Facebook and Pandora ads, and more. John Muir Health is one of California’s — and the nation’s — most highly-rated healthcare systems.

All seven new Esurance commercials are now in rotation on network TV, premium cable outlets and/or the web. Once again, “techies,” the company’s programmers, vie with “feelies,” the Esurance phone reps, over who can serve customers better. These latest :30s mostly feature the characters that were introduced last spring, including Frank the Saver. The spots were created and developed by Duncan/Channon – in partnership with the Esurance marketing team – and produced by Company Films of LA. The director was Fred Goss. (More spots after the jump.)
A new 60-second spot for Citrix GoToMeeting, launching today and created by D/C, points out that connection and collaboration can truly make a difference in the world. And, frankly, you might want to grab a tissue before watching. The commercial is part of a comprehensive national campaign across traditional and digital channels designed to both elevate the brand and drive trial.
“The work — much of it created while collaborating using GoToMeeting — champions the idea that a product can be both incredibly simple and powerful at the same time,” said ECD Parker Channon. D/C began collaborating with Citrix in early 2011 and has been working on strategy and brand story, in addition to TV, radio, print and interactive.
First: Creative Review, the prestigious British journal of “Advertising, design and visual culture,” selected D/C’s identity and packaging for Farrier for the magazine’s 2011 annual. Farrier is a division of Jackson Family Wines, the ultra-premium division of Kendall-Jackson.
Next: Farrier took Best of Show at the 2011 SF Addys.
Now: Last night, in the 2011 One Show, D/C (alone among SF agencies, if we may be so crass) grabbed a Bronze Pencil for Design for the mighty Farrier. Ups (again) to Patrick Nistler and the whole D/C wine team.

Though the work just launched, the SF Egotist has already said they’re some of the prettiest print ads since Gutenberg. And the banners pick up the same rich, allusive design and gorgeous photography. And every element of this multi-million-dollar campaign incorporates a refreshed brand identity and rests on a completely renovated brand platform — all authored by Duncan/Channon, in collaboration with agency-of-record client Blurb.
For those not among the 1.5 million who have already created a volume of their own photography, memoirs, wedding pictures or the like, Blurb is the leader in helping people make beautiful printed books via the web. Their service includes pro-level, yet easy-to-use, design tools and a fail-safe production process delivering budget-defying quality.
