ADVERTISING - TV
What's in a name?
Agency Erich & Kallman were tasked with creating a campaign for Cupcake Vineyards - not a name you'd expect to see on a wine label.
They made three fun commercials shot at vineyards around the world.

PRINT'S NOT DEAD - Part 1
A world of creative collaboration.
The Two Pages sketchbook concept connects creative people worldwide via two blank pages.
It's Nice That has done a story on the 12-year-old project.
Here is a snippet.
It’s the kind of idea you have on a boring commute, and dare to dream will one day become an international beacon of creative spirit. But that’s exactly what Two Pages is – including the fact that it actually started as a way to pass time on the train. Started by designer and art director Konstantinos Trichas in 2012, and co-run since 2016 with creative director and brand consultant Dionysis Livanis, the concept is simple. They choose a city and a creative person in that city, and send them a blank sketchbook, with the brief to adorn just two pages of the book around a decided theme. When they’re done, they pass it on.
