(Click the image to read the Frank Holiday Chain Letter)

Here at Frank Creative we wanted to wish everyone on Earth a Happy Holiday Season. Unfortunately, we don't know everyone on Earth. But we wouldn't let a silly thing like that stop us from trying. So don't break the chain...or else! Happy Holidays to all.

And1.com Gets Flashy

The new And1.com combines old school wisdom with new school fresh. Frank created a layered homepage that invites you into the world of the Tai Chi Prophet, a new character that interacts with consumers and spreads the wisdom of ball.

You can discover the Tai Chi Mid, find a retail location, or follow the Prophet on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. At the very least, the Prophet allows you send smack talk messages or inspirational proverbs to your friends right from the site. Listen to his words and your game will follow.

My client's athlete can beat up your client's athlete...

Nate Quarry came into the office last week to pick up a framed canvas piece that depicted his recent AND1 Street 2 Elite ad, which ran in SLAM magazine. The artwork chronicles Nate’s journey from blue-collar worker to UFC ass-whooper.

Fresh off of the beat down he put on fellow UFC fighter Tim Credeur on September 16; Nate’s face was a testament to what success in MMA looks like – bruised. It was a fitting tribute to the truth behind his ad.

We just launched the Ryka - Kelly Ripa "Take Shape" Campaign in this month's Elle and WWD which is a rallying cry for women who workout to look good, feel good and get fabulous!

Thanks to Kelly and David Sacks who provided immense inspiration and made a 2-day shoot really super fun and exciting.

Namaste,

Sometimes #2 feels better than #1

After coming up a little short in a recent soccer pitch, Frank is packing away the voodoo dolls and pouring out the holy water. We’re not sore losers here. We don’t need to cast spells or wish ill will on the winners…Right?

We can forget about the multiple late night refinements that led to the early morning printing and binding session. We can laugh off the hours spent on three unique graphic executions and fully flushed out 18-month marketing plan. And we’ll simply digest the countless pots of coffee that kept the creative juices flowing because this is the life we chose.

Besides, we watched “The Bachelor” last season. We know what happens to #1s and #2s. You see, Melissa was picked #1 and offered a proposal while Molly was rejected and left asking “why?” on national TV. Of course a couple months later, #2 Molly was asked back and #1 Melissa was dumped, making her the actual #2 and Molly the new #1. And when “Dancing with the Stars” heard about the now #2 Melissa, they asked her to be on their #1 hit show where she made bank. And the first #2, who eventually became #1, is still in love, which is worth more than money - kind of like ideas. You can’t put a price on good one.

So sometimes #2 feels better than #1. And at the very least, 2 is twice as many as 1, which seems like a step up if you’re still doing the math. You know what I mean?

FFT Round 3

The 3rd Official FFT took place at Ready, Paint, Fire! Each Frankster chose a ceramic piece of their choice and took to painting and glazing. Here are a few pics, courtesy of Steve:

Post glazing, we headed over to PGE park where we enjoyed box seats and the action of Portland's minor league soccer team, the Timbers. Overall, it was an excellent FFT.
