Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers are shocked to find out the “Patrick Price” & “Rodgers Rate” are for anyone.

What if you could fill your cart with life-changing stories instead of stuff? No more 2d blah blah blah product descriptions. No more mindless click, click, click, buy buy buy.

Why let 3 little numbers control your life, when the best way to tell how great you look is in your jeans.

Cottonelle wanted to normalize the routine of using normal TP and wet wipes together. We thought, why don’t we ask people to give a name to their bathroom routine. In print we suggested a few fun names and asked people to go online and give their routine a name. We created a facebook name generator that produced a very fun range of names.
