Manly Bands
DTC men's rings · Direct response · Brand campaigns
A 4-minute ad that worked. A Lord of the Rings parody that led to an actual LOTR licensing deal. A collaboration with Chris Harrison shot at a Malibu mansion. Manly Bands gave us room to be genuinely funny — and we were.
Manly Bands Shopping
Back when long-form social advertising was at its peak, we made a 4-minute spot that somehow kept people watching — and buying. An absurdist comedy built around the experience of shopping for a wedding ring as a man. Incredibly effective for the brand.
The One Ring
A shot-for-shot parody of the Fellowship of the Ring — made as a 30-second ad for Manly Bands. It worked so well that it led to an actual Lord of the Rings licensing deal. Manly Bands now sells the One Ring.
Manly Bands
with Chris Harrison
Two spots with The Bachelor's Chris Harrison, shot at a proper Malibu mansion. The kind of production where everything has to look effortlessly expensive — and did.
