A Cautionary Tale
How a simple website can turn a passion into a nightmare.
For Squarespace’s 2019 Holiday campaign, we partnered with the grouchiest New Yorker, Oscar the Grouch whose obsession with trash takes him on a nightmarish journey.
Oscar’s Trash Art (Set Props)
Oscar’s Customer Page
In addition to the film, we created Oscar’s limited edition trash art and his very own customer page. Oscar’s Fine Trash Art was sold on his website with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the Sesame Street Workshop. Every piece sold within hours of the launch.
