The crew of Apollo 11.

Celebrating in NYC at The One Show interactive awards. From left to right. Brian Williams, art director. Great designer, smart as he looks. No detail is too small. That is the sign of a world-class creative. Norma Kwee, producer. Her first major assignment, she digitized and transcribed over 150 hours of audio between Houston and the astronauts. Plus, sourced and found every image and video on the site. Amazing. Wade Alger, copywriter. Tweet man, fact finder, co-creator of the idea with Brian. Wade is one of the best copywriters working right now. Period. Darbi Fretwell, producer. Helped get this thing off the ground, helping secure our digital production company, Domani Studios. (This is much better looking crew than the original Apollo 11 guys, right?)

Mr. Rollback.

His name is Darrell Owens and he's a real associate at Walmart. Father of two, part time college student, working two jobs, we found Darrell on a scout at a local Walmart here in Richmond. A total natural, we've now filmed over 50 different scripts using the guy with no end in sight. I've directed most of spots with Marky at Trademark Films. The DP is Charlie Gueret. Thanks to all the teams at Walmart. But all the kudos go to Darrell. Thanks, big guy.



The camera loves Mr. Rollback.



We've shot over 50 scripts in the last 40 days. Nuts.

Over the moon.

Last night, the team won two gold pencils and one silver at One Show Interactive. Don't wake me up from this dream. We are so out of this world excited. Big kudos to Jon and his team at Domani. Huge hugs to Brain, Wade, Norms, Carrie, Mark, Dean and Darbi at Martin.


Norms, Wade and Brian in the Moon Room at the agency in Spring 2009. This is early on in the production of the site, planning the stages, collecting content, writing tweets, gathering facts. Took 6 months from concept to live event.

Still hard to believe.

That George W. Bush was the President of the United States for EIGHT years. When I came across this video we made for the Kelly Awards a couple years ago after we won for the JFK Library, I laughed again. But also felt the need to post it here as a reminder of how lucky we are to now have an articulate, intelligent, present, thoughtful and strong leader in Barack Obama. Wouldn't it be fun to work on his presidential library?
