Rally Social Room is a new bar concept targeted at 18-24 year olds—combining party with ping pong. From blocks away on Whyte Ave, neons spelling RALLY drew people to the building—where they then saw a custom neon animation that brought Rally’s ping pong concept to life.

Most promotional items end up in the landfill. So, on the heels of a rebrand, ATB decided to do away with “trinkets and trash” for good. By working with local businesses (who also happen to be clients of ATB), we co-created a suite of high-quality branded products with names that support our promise to power possibility for our clients.

Offered exclusively on the ATB-owned LOOT store, these products support our brand, our clients and our environment.

There are few subjects less interesting yet more important than zoning. They’re a set of invisible rules that can affect everything from the housing crisis to economic inequality. When the City of Edmonton set out to rewrite their zoning bylaw, they needed a piece of media that could bring engaged citizens up to speed on the long history of zoning, what was working about it, and what needed to change. Making Space, a five part podcast series, was built on a belief that the only reason a podcast like this should even exist was if the City was willing to be open about how the old zoning bylaw had at times failed citizens. Asking people to listen to two plus hours of content that wasn’t being honest with them about those issues would be a disservice to both our client and the listener. Over five episodes, we conducted, edited, scored and sound designed dozens of hours of interviews, working with community members to help write narration that told stories revealing the invisible force that is zoning and urban planning in our city.

The Government of Alberta wanted to show off Alberta’s opportunities and attract young talent to the province—especially those living in the high-cost cities of Toronto and Vancouver. Our creative approach was to get people’s attention by showing them what they could have here that they’ll never have at home.
