Throwing it back to a hot summer day at the iconic Universal City Walk. The day before this shoot I was in Cabo. I believe I rode a Sea-Doo if I don’t recall. It was as gnar gnar as you’d think. Two days before, I was on a creative call with a margarita in one hand and a button-up shirt buttoned all the way down. I fully engaged work hard, play hard mode that day. Suns out guns out style. Side note – I like to deep dive into hedonism before tiptoeing back into reality, but I had to dial it back the next day because I had work the following morning in Los Angeles. Work with a new client from an old friend of mine, Ben Winston. He and I grew up playing baseball together. He hit dingers and so did I. Boom. We landed later than we should have, but the trip was fun.

It was cool working with my best friend and seeing the client be happy. I am so very thankful that Ben connected me with Mike TeeVee and their amazing team. Mike TeeVee is an amazing decoupled production company that is more than a tribe of geniuses, it’s the first creative group of people I work for who I call my friends. I feel part of a team and I want to continue to see them succeed as they did with this testimonial campaign.
Mike TeeVee’s latest work with Experian is a series of commercials with John Cena.

Here’s an example of the testimonials we shot for Experian.
