Welcome to Exhibit B.
Our “Discovery” phase of campaign development for the 2017 SF Giants revealed two key findings:
We introduced this year’s campaign with “Together in SF” :30, featuring fans experiencing the ultimate SF backed with a dramatic read by legendary skipper, Bruce Bochy.
“Together In SF” :30 TV Spot
Our post house Ntropic, under the masterful eyes of FX director Aaron Vasquez, and editor Alan Chimenti, created cinemagraphs from the photography and video expertly captured by SFG Productions.
Alternate-Ending Interactive Films
Recognizing the importance of the Giants digital community, particularly the 3.2 million Facebook followers, we created a series of interactive films showing the experience of going to Giants games on Sundays, on date nights, during the work week, and the fun of Orange Fridays. Each of these four spots give viewers a critical decision to make at the peak of the story. The viewer’s choice will determine the ending of the stories.
“We Are Sundays” Interactive Film
“Two for Tuesdays” Interactive Film
“Day Baseball” Interactive Film
“Orange Fridays” Interactive Film
Introducing Mark Melancon
We also introduced the Giants new closer, Mark Melancon, with this fun spot that seems to be the fan’s favorite spot of the year. In a hilarious exchange on Twitter, Lou Seal called out Melancon for slamming the door on him. Mark responded, “I was just trying to ‘seal the deal.’” This guy’s going to be fun to watch all year.

Out-of-Home
If you live and drive in the Bay Area, you are also sure to run into our outdoor campaign featuring the photography of Andy Kuno. He has really raised the photography game of the Giants in-house staff and Baker Street gobbled up the good work to create the elegant designs you’ll see on trains, busses, street banners, and electronic outdoor throughout the Bay Area.

Despite “probiotics” being a buzzword, there’s been a lot of confusion in the category. So when Mariani asked BSA to help launch the world’s first Probiotic Prunes, we strove for transparency.
We challenged consumer notions of probiotics by directly addressing our two biggest competitors — yogurt & pills. Creating several online videos, we demonstrated why Mariani’s Probiotic Prunes offered a better route to good digestive & immune health — one that didn’t include yogurt’s high sugar content or add to consumer pill fatigue. And to pique viewers’ curiosity, we leveraged a few bizarre visuals and injected some humor into the messaging.
Here’s our launch spot:
And two shorter spots that narrowed in on our major probiotic competition. In this version, Mariani warns against a Pillpocalypse:
And here, Mariani takes a swing at probiotic yogurt:
The videos led to a landing page with more in-depth explanations of the product benefits:

Human truths have a universal language.
Brand truths are the ultimate message.
These two principals are the cornerstones of one of Baker Street’s most powerful and influential campaigns ever imagined for our NorCal Honda client. It also happens to be our Hispanic effort, “Siempre Contigo,” which means “Always with You.”
This year’s campaign features four new stories that proclaim with emotion and authenticity that Honda is always there for life’s special moments, thanks to its legendary dependability.

“Did you hear the Presidents’ news?”
“Ya. It’s Unprecedented.”
That’s the premise of our new TV commercial and internet films for NorCal Honda’s Unprecedented Presidents Day Sale.
:30 Unprecedented Presidents Day TV Spot
Our Honda Presidential Icons are back by popular demand and this time find themselves talking politics in a diner. At least that’s what it seems like they are discussing in this surreal spot that begins like a scene out of Pulp Fiction before revealing George Washington and Abe Lincoln having pancakes and bacon and chewing the fat about the unprecedented president news. Of course, the news turns out to be unprecedented deals on new Hondas.
Subsequent internet films drop in on the First and Sixteenth Presidents as they get their groove on in a new Civic and see how many Potuses they can put in the back of a CR-V. Fun stuff created on the fly at our TV shoot by our in-house crew, Lesly Pyle and Harrison Chapman.
