Brand Platform AT&T 2020

Lily Returns

As the world went into quarantine, AT&T needed to reinvent itself for a new reality. We had exactly the right idea sitting in the brand’s own history.

The idea

Bring back a friendly, funny, genuinely beloved face to give people a bit of familiarity when nothing else felt familiar. Simple, warm, and the opposite of what every other brand was doing with the piano‑and‑drone‑footage playbook.

The result

Record‑breaking sales, record media placements, and a pile of awards and recognitions. Lily is now the anchor of the AT&T brand — she’s carried the company through the holidays, iPhone launches, March Madness and the NBA Playoffs.

Currently open to creative leadership roles

Let’s make something worth arguing about.

If you’re looking for full‑time or consulting help to bring your team into the breakneck advertising future, drop me a line.
