Get in on Getaround.

I don’t know about you, but I’m all about the sharing economy. I love the idea of a world that produces less stuff and creates more connections by following a lesson we all learned in kindergarten: share. Or in my case: “Damnit, Erin! Share with your sister!” With my now-matured love of the ol’ give-and-take, you can probably imagine my glee at the opportunity to write a series of email campaigns for Getaround, a peer-to-peer car-sharing service based in San Francisco and driving its way across the U.S.

Not only does Getaround make it super easy to rent a ride right in your own ‘hood (you unlock your rental on-demand from an app on your phone), but it also helps car owners earn extra cash on their wheels that are just taking up space parked somewhere.

Check out Getaround on their website or download the app to start car-sharing today. It’s perfect for everything from weekend getaways (fit your whole crew in a Jeep or SUV), commutes (sensible sedans aplenty), moving (pick-up trucks you don’t have to beg your friend to borrow), running errands (in a convertible…to look cool when you go pick up your prescriptions), or just going for a joyride (Tesla, anyone?). Thanks to the Getaround team for letting me write for your rad brand, and to designer Chad Morgan for bringing me onboard. Can’t wait to put the pedal to the metal on many more campaigns to come.

Lease a Boulder Legend.

Downtown Boulder is no stranger to change, but this radical renovation is history in the making. I’m talking about the property — nay, the legend — at the corner of 11^th and Walnut, former home to the iconic Walrus Saloon. As part of a massive overhaul that updated the now-four-story structure into a marvel of modern convenience, the hundred-year-old brick exterior has been preserved as an homage to the past. The building, now called 19eleven, is 100% legit grit with a modern twist: raw exposed brick walls…wood beams and steel bolts that scream with storied past and successful futures…bright, versatile spaces for startups, retail or co-working…the whole kit, kaboodle and a penthouse cherry on top. (Sorry kids, that floor’s already taken.)

My clients at Market Real Estate are now leasing the few spaces left on the gorgeous lower three floors, and we made a kickass website to promote the potential within. The site beautifully showcases what makes this building so different than much of Boulder’s hottest commercial real estate: it’s not a shiny white box. So, if you want perfectly polished walls or a contemporary all-glass building so shiny that birds fly into it and fall to their deaths, look elsewhere. Buuuuuut if you like a little history with your workplace, check out the property site and contact Market ASAP. It’s the kind of gem you just don’t find ’round these parts. Brooklyn maybe. But not Boulder.

Oh, and in case you’re wondering, I would for sure set up EBB Copywriting HQ at 19eleven if I could afford the ultra-premium price tag. But hey, at least I can visit during construction and ruin my hairdo with a hardhat.

A few sample headlines from the website and building promo materials:

BLOOD, SWEAT AND BRICKS

SURVIVAL OF THE HIPPEST

PAINT OVER THE PAST? NEVER.

CHARACTER NEVER DIES.

Five Senses Is Just the Start.

When it comes to our senses, hasn’t the number five had enough time in the spotlight? Sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell get all the attention, but what about the unsung sensorial heroes? From balance and breathlessness to correction and temperature, there are so many other senses we rely on every day.

Our Senses: Creating Your Reality brings them all together—inner and outer tools of detection and perception—into a hands-on (and nose-on, and eyes-on, and feels-on) exhibit for the whole family. The Denver Museum of Nature and Science wants everyone to make sense of their many senses, and you may be surprised at how much influence they have over how you experience the world.

I had all the feels (apparently I’m SUPER sensitive) working on this campaign with my buddies at Urban Canvas. The concept prompts viewers to question what they think they know and expand their “senses” definition outside the usual five.

Our Senses: Creating Your Reality opens in just a couple of weeks on April 12 and runs through August 4, so get it on the calendar and bring the whole family. The sight room reveals a visual explosion of ocular discovery. The balance room engulfs you in walls so wickedly wavy that you won’t know which way is up. The correction room blows your mind with the science behind why it deosn’t mttaer waht oredr the ltteers are in a wrod for you to be albe to raed it. So yeah. You don’t want to miss this one.

Trimble: In. Shackles: Off. Power: On.

Trimble’s unparalleled GNSS precision technology runs the gamut of industry applications—from agriculture and construction to driving schools, mines, marine ports and UAVs. Their receivers offer full triple-frequency support of all satellite constellations, so they work wherever positioning technology plays. Not to mention their accuracy is among the highest on the market, and they’re the only brand that puts everything you need at your fingertips for a flexible, hardworking setup without any gaps. That’s a whole lot of tech to fit on one tiny board, but fortunately, Trimble’s are robust enough to support infinity.

See? I can write all smart-like if I put my mind to it.

I had the honor of plugging in to all the right places to work on this Trimble Integrated Technologies advertising campaign with Urban Canvas, and I think the results speak for themselves. If you disagree, read the copy. That’ll explain it. Click ad above to enlarge, and refresh to reanimate banner below.

Welcome to Surreality.

With brilliance so blinding, it can be hard to hold the gaze of Salvador Dalí and René Magritte’s oracular works for more than a few minutes. But the longer you stare, the farther you fall into the depths of the subconscious. Like an impossible portal opening up to a blue sky abyss punctuated by pearly clouds, Magritte and Dalí will set your imagination free to accept impossibility and explore the immersive artistic dialogue shared by the two most recognized Surrealists of our era. What you think you see does not exist beyond the anti-existential environments they created. So, enter with your eyes and mind wide open—and for the love of avant-garde, try not to blink.

The Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida has done it again—this time, welcoming the works of fellow surrealist René Magritte as its latest temporary exhibition. With bowler hats, apples and a pipe (not really…smoking’s gross) to fuel our creativity, I created this advertising campaign with the design masters at Urban Canvas. The concept uses “Magrittian” themes and Dalí himself to eliminate the expected and create a striking, suggestive call to action for exhibition visitors.

In the Florida area? Don’t miss the exhibit, along with The Dalí’s extensive permanent collection. It’s definitely worth the trip, and Magritte & Dalí runs now through May 19.

Veggies Like WHOA.

Crunch now, or forever hold your carrots and hummus because never have you ever snacked veggies like this. Made In Nature’s new crazy crunchy, madly munchy Veggie Pops are debatably the best healthy snack you can get your hungry hands on, and now they’ve officially been unleashed into the wild.

Made In Nature Veggie Pops are zesty, oven-crisped snack bites made with nothing but whole foods like kale, carrots, chickpeas, broccoli, almonds and spices. They’re not puffed, faked or fried and come in three organically snacky flavors you won’t believe are 100% plant-based and dairy-free with names like ‘Sour Cream’ & Onion, Broccoli Chedda and Salt & Pepper.

I had the pleasure to creative direct and write this explosive campaign-slash-sampling-program for the Veggie Pops product launch, and the freebies are going fast. Like, too fast. Like, we’ve been hitting our daily limit in mere minutes, so our ads must be working…

Feeling the hunger? Enter the giveaway, buy them straight-up at madeinnature.com or head to a local retailer to get your veggie fix in awesomely snackable fashion. Sorry, baby carrots. You’re cute, but 7g of plant-based protein, 4g of fiber and boldly savory flavors baked into bite-sized balls are even cuter.

ADDENDUM: Guys! Hey, guys! We were on the Today Show, guys!

#CubaInDenver

Spirit, resilience and pride are some of Cuba’s most valuable natural resources. It’s an island that’s seen some things…a nation with hard-earned character and grit. The storied walls and boulevards share the wear of respected elders’ faces and prove why this is a place worth wandering. You may come to ¡Cuba!: The Exhibition at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science thinking of politics, but you’ll leave thinking of passion: a kaleidoscope of unique species, landscapes, communities and traditions that call Cuba home. So don’t just say it, shout it: ¡Viva Cuba! Long live this vibrant island nation and the deep-rooted rhythm that makes it unlike anywhere else on earth.

I had the opportunity to create this beautifully bright and colorful advertising campaign for the latest traveling exhibit to hit DMNS alongside my friends at Urban Canvas. The concept is designed to blend the Denver Cuban-American community’s desire for an authentic representation of their home country with the lighter energy and content of the exhibit. ¡Cuba! opens October 26, so come discover the culture, creatures, landscapes, locals and more vibrant life than you can imagine.

Get a Clue, Or a Few…

Do you dare? Do not beware. There are puzzles here and there.
Look to your brain, not what it lacks, and seek the secret code to crack.
Come to our door and you will meet a wacky gent named Mr. E.
Then come inside, enjoy the ride, and bring your master mind alive!

If you have kiddos (or just a grown-up obsession with puzzles), you don’t want to miss Mindbender Mansion at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Inside these doors, the whole family is invited to unleash their intellects on a dizzying display of brainteasers, mysteries and group activities.

From technology, science, arts and math, every answer lays the path…
to a coveted space for you and me in the Mindbender Society.

I got to dust off my rhyming shoes to create this cockamame campaign with a sort of brain-busters-meets-the-Mad-Hatter thing going on, and as per usual, Urban Canvas crushed it on the designs and custom illustration work. I even tried my own hand at the puzzles this past weekend when I visited Mindbender Mansion as well as Dead Sea Scrolls, which has sold out practically every day since opening. I like to think our campaign had a little something to do with that, but maaaaaybe it was the fact that they’re some of the rarest and most significant archaeological finds ever discovered on earth. Maybe.

Carpe Diem? Try Carpe Snackem.

To all the bold and brazen snackers who refuse to let a moment of life (or a morsel of real food) pass them by, this is the promo you’ve been waiting for. Supersnackers, meet the all-holy Made In Nature freebie. Freebies, meet the mouths who are about to seize your organic goodness and make the most of this delicious day.

I had more fun than the FDA, USDA or most likely the FBI would deem legal working on this single-serve Made In Nature giveaway with my pals at Urban Canvas. We came up with a range of hunger-conquering concepts, but destiny took hold and “Seize the Snack” reigned supreme. I’m pretty damn proud of the copy I wrote for each piece of this multifaceted campaign (landing page, emails, in-box card and on-box messaging), and the design is so on point, it’s almost embarrassing.

So please, for the love of all that is organic, don’t waste another minute reading this. Go forth and get your own Made In Nauture freebie. May you devour each bite as if it were your last. May you be proud of what you put in your body, and even prouder of what it empowers you to do. May you always answer when flavor calls, and may you live each day to EAT OUT LOUD. Snack on, brave ones. Snack on.
