Kona uses social media to get us off social media
Our Hawaiian brethren are back to help us hapless haoles sort out our skewed work/life balance. This time around, they take on the Mainland’s social media absorption among other questionable uses of time. The new vids will run on Facebook in conjunction with TV spots in select markets. The work’s already receiving some nice coverage on Creativity, The Drum and Adweek’s Agency Spy. The Dear Mainland campaign continues to be a great success for Kona Brewing with sales increases in excess of 30% and a coveted spot in the top ten of all craft beer.

This Golden Road work isn’t good
People always ask: You good? But that indicates a pretty baseline, “just okay” type of good. DC’s new campaign for Golden Road asks a question that aims a little higher from a city that does the same.
