T3 | The Think Tank

Video

We recognized the power of online video long before YouTube. As a result, we added a video group to our creative department. Led by an independent filmmaker, we bring concept and production together to create a remarkable effect. Our work includes online video ad units, informational videos, documentaries and viral videos. We have our own equipment and editing suite and access to the recognized independent film community in Austin.

Ford: Fiesta Dealer Training Program

The 2011 Ford Fiesta was introduced with an innovative social media program that started more than a year before the car hit showrooms. To get dealers ready in advance, T3 developed Countdown: Fiesta, a 14-part video series that combined training, entertainment and social media.

Our insight: Training is boring.

Our solution: Mix information, sketch comedy, online contests and mobile alerts to talk about the new Fiesta in a completely new way.

InkSM from Chase: JotSM

Small business owners are constantly on-the-go and often struggle with the financial pain points of running their own business. They love owning their own business, but don't love all the paperwork that comes with it. For this reason, Ink from Chase launched Jot—a free expense tracking app that allows Ink cardmembers to save time by organizing business expenses on-the-go.

To ensure Jot made a big splash for both cardmembers and prospects, Ink enlisted the help of T3. The integrated marketing campaign included several digital assets that T3 created, including: desktop site, mobile site, online advertising, mobile advertising, social videos and product demos. Shortly after launch, more than 15,000 Ink customers had already downloaded Jot and begun to save precious time tracking, categorizing and organizing business expenses on-the-go.

ConocoPhillips: Kendall Motor Oil

Born in 1881, Kendall Motor Oil has a performance heritage. An exclusive new technology, Liquid Titanium®, created an opportunity to reinvigorate this icon.

To start, we had to give skeptical customers proof. We worked with our clients to define and visualize the protective strength of the new oil at a molecular level. From there, we brought Kendall roaring back with a campaign that put smart thinking ahead of big spending.
