- Developed a tongue-in-cheek approach to the legal document issue. The ads employed an “archeological” look to underscore the importance and historical significance of legal documents.

- Wrote copy in a whimsical tone, appealing to the verbal nature and dry humor of litigators.
Results: The client positioned itself as the preferred supplier (and in some cases the sole supplier) for legal document copying, organizing, and binding – particularly when accuracy is crucial.
