About the Work

For most Americans, crypto is for the few. It's at the intersection of too good to be real and too real to ignore. Subsequently, most people are still sitting on the sidelines waiting for the time to be right. We took their hesitation head-on by demonstrating just how idiotic it is to miss out on the next big thing. For our Super Bowl spot, we told the story of a person they DON’T want to be – someone who always passes up on the next big thing - as an invitation for viewers to avoid being that person. Who better to represent someone who'd pass up every good opportunity than Mr. Skeptic himself, Larry David? And what better backdrop to tell this story against than the defining inventions throughout human history. In our spot, we show Larry David passing up on ‘the next big thing’ throughout history -- Inventions that are now the backbone of our everyday existence (the wheel, the fork, the phone) -- to prove just how idiotic it is to miss out on something that is clearly the next big thing. Just like crypto. While the campaign launched shortly before the deadline, we can disclose coverage coming from a multitude of high-impact publications like USA Today, The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, late night shows and national broadcast entities—with lots of chatter while we kept all our Super Bowl details tight-lidded. According to FTX US’s Series A and operation update announcements made in late January 2022, its first year of marketing with creative AOR has been a force multiplier for growth: -Average daily trading volume grew 608% in 2021 -Total spot crypto traded in the first full year of operation eclipsed $67B -1.2M users are now on the exchange, an increase of 11,900% in 2021
