I worked on MINI for a few years
We made a lot of fun stuff. We made the first RFID billboard.
When MINI owners drove by, a keychain talked to the board
And it displayed a custom message.



In one of the weirder media buys ever
We turned a magazine into a flipbook.



With Mad Magazine’s Sergio Aragones
We took over margins with tiny cartoons.



We made a website that allowed you to send messages
Written in burnt rubber.



We carefully bought up small space ads
To turn the back of a magazine into a racing flag.



And with Dwell Magazine, we created postcards
To take before you took the trip.



It was a blast.
If you ever get the chance to work on MINI
Do it.
