What is the scenario in 2024, the year of the dragon? For Cool King® Frozen Yogurt & Desserts, it’s the introduction of their Dragon Fruit (aka Pitaya) Sorbet.

Cool King® “Matcha Green Tea” Gelato
Cool King® contacted me and asked for marketing materials to promoted their new flavor “Matcha Green Tea” Gelato. The first asset I designed was the flavor card.

In celebration of Independence Day, I put together an advertisement and flavor card Cool King’s Non-dairy “Rocket Pop” Sorbet. In the video, the song sampled is “Rocket” by Def Leppard.

Do you know what “Yogilato” is? This amazing combination of frozen yogurt and gelato brings an added creaminess to already delightful flavor sensations.

With this project, I compiled audio samples from vintage Cap’n Crunch television ads into a golden goulash of gilded audible greatness guaranteed to grant a trip down memory lane for those who’s youth was spent being ritualistically mesmerized by the “Boob Tube” each Saturday morning. In my mind, this was the “heyday” of gripping advertising.…

Cool King® “Hawaiian Delight” Sorbet Advertisement
I definitely have an affinity for things related to island life. Something has always called me. Specifically how Hawaii was portrayed in mid-century popular culture.

Cool King® Rain or Shine, We’ve Got You Covered
I got the idea for this post after taking the photograph seen in the advertisement. I was raining, and I thought it might be funny to play on the fact that the “To Go” lid is actually a built in umbrella on days like these. With the sound design, I went with the classic “Singing…

Cool King® “Surf City’s Premier Dessert Destination” Advertisement & Post Dialogue
With this advertisement I wanted to show some hometown pride. I figured I’d give a shout-out to Huntington Beach’s deep roots in surf culture — it is known as “Surf City”. I took the photo of the shop the day after there was a big rain. I thought the cloud formations added a nice element…

Cool King® “Pistachio” Almond Milk Yogurt
For this ad, I was searching on the web to get inspired by something that shocased the word “Pistachio” and I stumbled across this comedian/musician named Tom McGovern. For the sound design I did a remix using the song he did in his skit about “Pista-CHEE-o” being “da’ best nut”. Please support Tom in all…

Cool King® “Totally Awesome Chocolate Overload” Ice Cream
This is the rebrand I did for Cool King’s “Chocolate Overload” Ice Cream. I can remember how much fun it was to show up at the local arcade with a pocket full of quarters. Upon entering the darkened den, you’d be bum rushed by a tidal wave of spazamatic digital boinks and binks, eruptions of…

No script, no direction, just document…

Cool King® “Snickerdoodle Ice Cream” Advertisement
By happenstance, I stumbled upon this 1960s French Pop song “Zou Bisou Bisou” by Gillian Hills. It inspired this advertisement for Cool King’s “Snickerdoodle” Ice Cream. For fits and giggles, I wrote the ad copy in a humours “sing-songy” nursery rhyme style.
