The best advertising
welcome to guesthouse.
Hello, MotorDayz.
You’re sorting through dozens of eager pitches right now. Thanks for finding ours.
We’re Guesthouse. We keep things simple.
We’ve done famous work for some huge brands, and left big agency life to help brands do fun creative work people care about.
MotorDayz couldn’t be more exactly who we had in mind.
We specialize in concepting creative content, and then producing it ourselves with our own commercial director to get it done right, and quickly. No handoffs.
It’s something we’re currently doing for fun brands like yours, including Every Man Jack and Magic Spoon Cereal. You can read all about it in Adweek.
We’ve helped brands like Every Man Jack and Gaia Herbs with their Amazon Premium A+ Content and other e-retail content, and would love to do the same for you.
We embrace AI, used creatively & responsibly, and will show you a video we made using 100% prompt-generated scenes.
We also specialize in creating perfect teams of UGC creators who can create content quickly and native to social. So we’d be interested in discussing the other scope as well.
Below are some examples of our work, experience with your category and audience, and approaches for how we might handle content creation, having not met you yet.
Hope to chat and collaborate soon.
SOME CURRENT CLIENTS
R E M I N D E R
EVERYONE HATES advertising.
BUT THEY LOVE INTERESTING THINGS.
LET’S MAKE INTERESTING THINGS TOGETHER.
FUN WITH BIG TOYS
We have experience selling a very different fleet of cars - “flying car” eVTOL brand Pivotal, the first personal eVTOL ever sold. We created videos like this one to spark people’s imagination, make them feel that the car is safe, and drive to the e-commerce site we designed to sell D2C online. If you have $200,000 laying around, one can be yours today at pivotal.aero. We built the site, including the video on the main page, all copy and images, and the entire purchase process.
PIVOTAL
GOODYEAR
We love cars. Cars going fast. Cars tearing through mud. Cars leaving skidmarks. Cars on the moon. Cars in a car chase.
You’re about to do a huge launch. We helped Volvo Trucks do the same, grabbing attention by hiding their top secret new truck in plain sight.
VOLVO TRUCKS
FUN WITH KID-LIKE WONDER
MAGIC SPOON
Magic Spoon, the people who brought us a childhood cereal grownups can eat, created a totally new category. Instead of a protein bar - which wait a second, aren’t any fun at all! - they created a low-sugar, protein-packed rice crispy treat for adults. They asked Guesthouse to create two campaigns for live, in-the-wild A/B testing of :30s, :15s, and 8 :06s.
The first shows Magic Spoon founders Gabi and Greg wondering if a protein treat could work. They then see grown-ups trying them - and instantly being thrust into a 90’s Xtreme cereal commercial from when they were kids.
We also shot their products, and used our AI & motion graphics team to create some magical swirling in these high-performing product videos.
COCA-COLA
Coca-Cola doesn’t market to kids, but we have tons of experience showing teens how it can bring them together. This spot that took place at the high-action world of Six Flags, was one of Ad Age’s Ads of the Year.
FUN WITH RACING
COCA-COLA
For years, we ran Coke’s partnership with NASCAR and the Coca-Cola Racing Family.
KIOTI TRACTOR
We helped KIOTI use their NASCAR Sponsorship as a tribute to the small town dirt tracks that unpave the way to the big time.
FUN WITH AI
“CAVIAR EYES” VIDEO
We created this music video for the rock band Megayacht using nothing but AI tools and some well-phrased prompts.
FUN WITH E-RETAIL
GAIA HERBS
We helped this herbal supplent brand balance their campaign voice, brand partner Gisele, great product photography, and smart use of premium modules to drive the sale.
EVERY MAN JACK
We work alongside their in-house team to bring the brand tone, look, and feel to all e-retail. We’re currently working on updating their Amazon PDP with new ways to use modules. And we’re also doing a photo and video shoot of all their deodorant and body wash SKUs, with and without models using them.
Mitch and Wes have worked as a creative team and executive creative directors at top agencies across the country. Their work has a way of getting talked about in the press and social, earning many millions in free media, winning global creative awards you probably don’t care about, and global effectiveness awards you might. They’re most proud of the results they’ve helped their clients achieve, and the excitement it can create in an organization. They do their most famous work by turning known brand briefs into quick, fun, timely content. They both love teaching students, mentoring creatives, and training teams on how to get to big ideas. They’re able to write in third person like it’s no big deal.
Mitch Bennett & Wes Whitener, Creative Directors, founders
Guesthouse has shot campaigns for brands like Five Guys, Checkers & Rally’s, Magic Spoon, Citizens Trust Bank, and Blue Cross Blue Shield. The same people shaping the work with you bring it to life as well. No handoffs, nothing lost in translation from kickoff to going live. Our Guesthouse roster also includes great agency producers and experienced line producers to make sure the job goes off without a hitch.
(We’re anti-hitch.)
Thanks for looking.
We literally built Guesthouse to help brands like MotorDayz do big, bold creative in a smarter, more nimble way, working collaboratively with you and your team. As high-level creatives at perennial agencies-of-the-year, we are the people agencies hire to do this exact kind of work, and then charge much much more to do it. We’d love to help you get everything you need to successfully launch the brand.
Here’s to kids holding a controller that doesn’t connect to a screen. Let’s tear up some yards.
