Introducing Druski in an entirely new role with the company

Following the momentum of a stunt where Druski (actually) publicly switched carriers, we created an entirely new C-suite position built around his enthusiasm for becoming a T-Mobile member.

For this project, we were briefed on 12/23/25 to meet a live date of 1/11/26. I led a team that worked swiftly to concept net-new creative, script and approve 5 spots and turn around prep+production+post in just 3 weeks (straddling 2 holidays).

I even managed to write some jokes in that the new Chief Switching Officer, Druski a) found hilarious, b) didn’t rewrite and c) ran full steam at on set.

 
 

To make the most of his talents (and stretch production dollars), we had Druski play 5 distinct roles in a whirlwind 1-day shoot I co-directed, generating enough content for all 5 video deliverables along with statics/stills that rounded out the social campaign.

AQUÍ PA’ TI · HISPANIC AUDIENCE PLATFORM

THE PROBLEM

To Hispanic consumers, wireless carriers all looked the same: expensive, impersonal and interchangeable. T-Mobile had the best value and deepest investment in the Hispanic community, but it went unseen.

THE PLATFORM

Aquí Pa’ Ti. Here for you

Hispanic families are deeply connected: through love, obligation and an inborn desire to be here for each other. In honor of that, T-Mobile is here for you, to serve as the invisible network that powers the group chat that never sleeps and the video calls that are never optional.

A suite of assets (broadcast, social, stills, OOH) in both English and Spanish, firmly rooted in the culture in order to speak to it authentically and honestly.

FILMS · TVC + SOCIAL

Two flights of broadcast and social films, each produced at broadcast quality to give the client editorial flexibility across future campaigns and channels. Modular production for Flight 2 produced a bank of compelling library footage. I ran b-unit and co-directed the social spots, managing client, production and talent.
