<a href="http://batteryagency.com/">Battery</a>, the Los Angeles-based creative advertising agency, has launched the second marketing campaign to come out of the Battery initiative An Idea for L.A., a pro bono program that provides a marketing makeover for L.A. businesses struggling to stay open during the COVID-19 pandemic. After their first-round for Seoul Sausage, a popular L.A. food brand, Battery selected an equally deserving business among the hundreds of submissions: Rhythms of the Village, an African cultural center in Altadena that has been enriching the local community with a focus on African culture and education for over a decade.
Treating the ROTV campaign with the same attention and care a traditional brand client would receive, Battery highlighted the vital importance of a small business promoting a rich cultural heritage through a series of films featuring Onochie Chakura, who established the Rhythms of the Village (ROTV) cultural center in 2013 out of a storefront in Altadena.
At ROTV, the Chakura family sells handmade African clothing, art, and knickknacks. More than just a store, ROTV offers classes in African drumming and language courses on the Nigerian Igbo and Yoruba dialects. On the last Saturday of every month, ROTV distributes locally grown fruit to the local community. The center also periodically presents Tribal Nights, events in which L.A. artists, creatives, and vendors share their talents and art with the community to build a larger following and gain more exposure.
The upbeat centerpiece film “Welcome to the Village” illustrates the need to support and foster these grassroots, community-based endeavors that go beyond simply selling a product or a service. As Onochie Chakura explains,“Rhythms of the Village is a cultural center where our doors are always open to the community. Remember, it takes a village. So all are welcomed to be the light.”
In addition to the films, the Battery campaign also includes radio spots all donated through iHeartRadio, 9 digital OOH billboards spread across L.A., and a Los Angeles Magazine print ad.  For Onochie’s son Emeka, the generously donated media served as the cherry on top of what he called an incredible experience. “The team from Battery lifted our spirits and brought a lot of light to our business. We felt like a family by the time it was complete. They contributed to a resurgence here at Rhythm, with their presence alone, and within our community. People are already talking to me about the radio commercials that they have heard playing!&#8221;

Right now, countless Mom-and-Pop companies and local independent businesses that are crucial to the cultural fabric of L.A. are scrambling for survival. It is home to more minority and women-owned businesses than any other city in the country, and more than 90% of L.A. businesses employ fewer than 20 workers. The lucky few who were able to get small business emergency loans under the Paycheck Protection Program cannot spend it on marketing. That’s where An Idea For L.A. came in.
“At Battery, we’ve all staked our own careers and livelihoods on the power of creativity to solve big problems,” says Philip Khosid, Chief Creative Officer at Battery. “So we’re stepping up to pay it forward to the city that gave us the opportunity to build the business of our dreams, with the one thing we know works. Because we get it.”
Thanks to An Idea for L.A., ROTV is able to spread the word to the larger community that they are open and thriving. “Rhythms of the Village is a cornerstone for many in the Altadena and LA community,” says Battery Creative Director Drea Schneider. “It has served as a place where children have grown into adults and passed on their learning, acceptance, and understanding for African culture. During this pandemic, the center has had to dial down its operations and is struggling to stay open. Our campaign is designed to spread awareness of the center and help revive its business.”

More about the inaugural An Idea For L.A. campaign created for Seoul Sausage: 
The first campaign to come out of the Idea for L.A. initiative launched in November 2020. After coming off of their largest month of revenue, Seoul Sausage’s business plummeted in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to help the L.A. eatery recover and thrive, Battery envisioned a series of hilarious short films that will have you splitting your casing.
In the films, actor Donald Faison performs the voiceover of a turtleneck-clad talking Korean BBQ weiner. The saucy sausage has lost his pants but it&#8217;s our gain because what our hero lacks in appendages he more than makes up for in attitude.
The Seoul Sausage campaign films were created in partnership with Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, the studio behind the longest-running stop-motion show on television, and Emmy Award®-winning, Robot Chicken.
The series presents the eatery’s latest incarnation as a virtual outlet that sells their most popular menu items as food delivery kits via the reputable Goldbelly.com/seoul-sausage, which made the Seoul Sausage menu available for overnight shipping nationwide.
“This year, 2020, completely wiped us out,” said Yong Kim, Co-Owner of Seoul Sausage. “We gave ourselves one month to mope and feel sorry for ourselves. Since then, we have pivoted our business entirely, and rather than playing defense, we flipped the switch into offense mode. We’re hungrier than ever and at this point have nothing to lose. Watch out for us.”

Battery Announces Four New Senior Hires Amid Agency Growth

LOS ANGELES, March 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ &#8212; Nearing one year since its acquisition by global communications company Havas, <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2748007-1&amp;h=8657516&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fbatteryagency.com%2F&amp;a=Battery+Annex" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Battery Annex</a>, a marketing, advertising and design agency founded to create advertising that&#8217;s as sought-after as entertainment, today announced four senior hires as part of its recent growth. Three creative directors — Michelle Nam and Drea Schneider, both from 72andSunny, and Joe Sgro, formerly of RPA and DDB Chicago — join the agency to fortify its creative offering. In addition, Sean McNamara, who led strategic growth at Sid Lee, comes on as head of strategy.
Since becoming part of Havas&#8217; Annex network, Battery Annex has flourished. The agency has delivered on work and wins to double its billings. As a result of the revenue increase, it has also expanded headcount and office space within its Sunset Boulevard headquarters, located in Hollywood, California. This success comes on the heels of broadened relationships with clients, such as the Royal Bank of Canada (including multiple TV and digital campaigns across Canada and the U.S.), the L.A. Clippers, Epic Games and Netflix.
<div id="attachment_164" style="width: 730px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-164" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-164" src="https://admin.batteryagency.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/4newsrhires-1024x576.jpeg" alt="" width="720" height="405" srcset="https://admin.batteryagency.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/4newsrhires-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https://admin.batteryagency.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/4newsrhires-300x169.jpeg 300w, https://admin.batteryagency.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/4newsrhires-768x432.jpeg 768w, https://admin.batteryagency.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/4newsrhires.jpeg 1500w" sizes="(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px" />Top row: left &#8211; Joe Sgro, right &#8211; Michelle Nam; bottom row: left &#8211; Drea Schneider, right &#8211; Sean McNamara</div>
&#8220;The last year has been awesome and we&#8217;re lucky to have these incredible people joining us. We have continued delivering work that disrupts and makes a meaningful impact in culture while leveraging the global resources from Havas that have led us to new opportunities and exciting growth,&#8221; said Anson Sowby, CEO of Battery Annex. &#8220;As part of this growth, we&#8217;ve bolstered our Battery family with these world-class creative and strategic teams to continue the positive momentum and extend our footprint around the globe.&#8221;
With more than 12 years of experience each, Nam and Schneider have both created culturally impactful work for iconic brands including Target, Google, T-Mobile and Netflix. Nam most recently served as a creative consultant to help launch WAYB, a family travel gear company co-founded by a former Patagonia CEO. At 72andSunny, she helped innovate a first-of-its-kind immersive AR experience at Target stores with Google tech and led a mentorship program to expand and diversify the creative class with Da Vinci Schools.
Schneider helped launch the search engine Microsoft Bing at JWT NY. Following that, she spent the next four-and-a-half years at 72andSunny L.A. While there, she produced multiple campaigns for Activision&#8217;s Skylanders game and Target, including holiday, back-to-school, wedding and baby campaigns.
Sgro began his career at DDB Chicago, finding success working on Bud Light and Budweiser, and creating two top-ranked Super Bowl ads. He also wrote for the award-winning Real Men of Genius campaign. He then moved to Santa Monica, California, where he joined Secret Weapon and wrote Jack in the Box ads. In 2014, he joined RPA and co-created the walking snack monster Toomgis for AMPM. In 2016, Sgro went back to freelancing and helped BBH produce its Be Pop Cultured campaign for E! News.
McNamara has over 20 years of experience working with some of the world&#8217;s most respected brands. Prior to Battery, he led strategic growth at Sid Lee, where he expanded the agency&#8217;s West Coast presence and launched a practice dedicated to entertainment clients like Netflix and new media partners like Tik Tok. Previously, as chief strategy officer at Omelet, he led the agency through sixfold growth over five years, working with Microsoft, Walmart, Sony, and Whole Foods Market. That followed a detour into the startup world as CMO of venture-backed Brilliant Bicycle Co. and a leadership role at social impact agency enso, working with mission-driven brands like Google, social movements like the Equal Rights Amendment and nonprofits like Public Counsel.
&#8220;Michelle Nam, Drea Schneider and Joe Sgro are three of the top creative forces in the industry, and we&#8217;re thrilled to add their points of view to our dynamite team,&#8221; said Philip Khosid, CCO of Battery Annex. &#8220;Adding Sean McNamara to the mix perfects the ultimate combination of insights-based creativity and enhances our critical thinking — which is necessary for content to be successful and make a difference.&#8221;
&#8220;The Battery Annex team is creating some of the most exciting and coolest work in the Havas North America network,&#8221; said Paul Marobella, Chairman and CEO, Havas Creative North America. &#8220;This is translating into great client wins, recruitment of more top talent and a very bright future. We couldn&#8217;t be happier to have Battery Annex in the Havas family.&#8221;

Battery Announces New Hire Right Before the Year Ends

<div class="field field-name-field-newslocation field-type-text field-label-hidden">
<div class="field-items">
<div class="field-item even">LOS ANGELES &#8212; Battery, an agency which creates campaigns for such clients as Netflix, Activision, Royal Bank of Canada and the NBA’s L.A. Clippers, has hired Danielle Tarris as its head of production, a new position at the shop. Tarris reports directly to Battery co-founder and chief creative officer Philip Khosid.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden">
<div class="field-items">
<div class="field-item even">
Tarris comes to Battery by way of 72andSunny where she held roles as group EP in Los Angeles, and then head of production at 72andSunny Amsterdam where she started the agency’s in-house editorial and film studio, and oversaw production projects for Google, O’Neil, Smirnoff and various new business pitches.
Khosid said of Tarris, “She arrives at the perfect moment as Battery continues winning new business and launching campaigns for a wide range of consumer brands. Danielle is not only a proven leader but she is a fierce advocate for diversity and inclusion and we are thrilled to have her join the executive leadership team at Battery. ”
Tarris grew up in advertising at TBWA\Chiat\Day LA, starting as a print producer on Nissan, Sony PlayStation, and various other brands. She eventually migrated into the film department and produced films for Energizer, Visa, Gatorade, and Pepsi. After six years at Chiat, she jumped to 72andSunny and led productions on K-Swiss, Activision, Nike, Samsung, Target Back to School, Target Holiday, Totinos, LA24, Tillamook, and Starbucks. At 72andSunny Amsterdam, Tarris helped establish and build a far reaching, integrated production department, cultivating global collaboration between brands and production. She also has been an active supporter of industry initiatives and organizations that focus on the diversification of the advertising talent pool, such as AICP’s Double the Line Initiative.
“What I love about Battery is their confidence and philosophy of getting out of the way of their creative production partners, letting them innovate, challenge and run with ideas,” said Tarris. “That is so important for a creative company. It’s a culture of trust, and freedom. I am determined to keep that culture rolling along as we look to the future and the next wave of innovation in commercial production. I’m always looking for a great collaboration of progressive minds and the next challenge waiting around the corner.”

The acquisition gives the Annex a larger presence in the Los Angeles creative community and enhances its capabilities in gaming and streaming entertainment. Battery Annex brings an unparalleled understanding of Hollywood marketing to both Havas and Vivendi, providing more opportunity to create and deliver cutting-edge content and meaningful brand experiences as consultants of culture.
Battery Annex will remain headquartered in Los Angeles with Sowby as CEO, leading a team of more than 50 current employees. Battery has grown to more than $10 million in revenue and works with top gaming, entertainment and financial clients, including Activision Blizzard, 2K Games, Athlon Games, PUBG, Netflix, Warner Bros, CBS, Disney, NBCUniversal, and Royal Bank of Canada.
The Battery acquisition is part of a global strategic effort to expand the Annex network and fully leverage the cultural power of both Havas and Vivendi. As Havas continues to foster rapid growth of the Annex in the U.S., the Group has also announced the opening of a second international Annex location, Annex Bastille, in Paris, France. In addition, plans are in place to extend Battery into the Canadian market by becoming part of the Havas Village in Toronto.
Today, the Annex employs 200 people worldwide across its three U.S. offices in Chicago, New York City and Atlanta, and one office in Singapore. Annex clients include Adidas Originals, Coca-Cola, Sprite, Bloomingdales, Gushers, Clif Bar and Company, Mike’s Hard Lemonade and more.
Yannick Bolloré, Chairman &amp; CEO Havas Group, said: “Convergence of advertising, entertainment, music and gaming remains a priority of Havas and Vivendi, and the Annex is a main part of our evolution. It’s exciting to watch this truly unique client offering come to life through Havas’ acquisition of Battery, which continues to help set Havas apart from the other holding companies.”
“Our Annex model is focused on helping global brands tap into the business of culture,” added Paul Marobella, Chairman and CEO of Havas Creative North America, and co-founder of the Annex network. “Gaming, Hollywood and streaming entertainment are critical elements of modern culture, and we believe the Battery team is one of the best in the world at creating brand engagement through these passion points. We couldn’t be happier to welcome Battery to the Havas and Annex families.”
Battery co-founders Anson Sowby, CEO, and Philip Khosid, CCO, said: “When we founded Battery, we had no financial backing and one client. But we knew we’d be successful if we eliminated layers, championed early/fast client collaboration and understood the value of intuition. It’s the mutual love and passion for pushing boundaries that makes our partnership with the Annex the perfect fit. We know Battery will be able to keep doing what we do best, and that’s delivering simplicity, fearless creativity and relentless will—now with the support of additional resources to scale.”
Numerous Battery campaigns, events and experiences have received industry awards, including Cannes Lions, Grand Clios, Webbys, Addys, Promax, Tellys, The One Show, London International and D&amp;AD Pencils. The agency is most recently known for their standout campaign “Netflix is a Joke,” which won a Film Cannes Lion, Grand Entertainment Clios, D&amp;AD awards and Ad Age’s Small Agency Campaign of the Year. Battery collaborated with Netflix to launch this campaign with a disruptive strategy, firmly planting it’s comedic flag.
R&amp;D Venture Partners acted as financial advisors to Battery on the transaction.

Battery Launches Campaign for Seoul Sausage

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden">
<div class="field-items">
<div class="field-item even">
L.A. based creative advertising agency Battery teamed with animation house Stoopid Buddy Stoodios and actor/comedian Donald Faison to launch a marketing campaign free of charge for Seoul Sausage, a popular L.A. food brand that is struggling to stay open during the COVID-19 pandemic. The campaign was developed as part of the Battery initiative “An Idea for L.A.,” which called on local businesses in need of a marketing makeover to apply for help. Battery selected two of the most deserving companies among hundreds of submissions: Seoul Sausage and Rhythms of the Village, an African cultural center in Altadena that has been enriching the L.A .community for over a decade with a focus on African culture and education.
The Seoul Sausage campaign is the first of these pro-bono campaigns to launch.  It is a series of short comic spots created by Battery that has debuted online featuring Faison performing hilarious voiceovers as a talking Korean BBQ sausage. Best known for his leading role as Dr. Chris Turk in the ABC/NBC comedy-drama Scrubs, the role of Murray in both the film and TV series Clueless, and most recently as Alex Evans in ABC’s Emergence, Faison also has offered his services pro-bono for the Seoul Sausage project.
Right now, countless mom &amp; pop companies and local independent businesses that are critical to the cultural fabric of Los Angeles are scrambling for survival. More than 90% of L.A. businesses employ fewer than 20 workers. It’s home to more minority and women-owned businesses than any other city in the country. The lucky few who were able to get small business emergency loans under the Paycheck Protection Program cannot spend it on marketing. That’s where “An Idea For L.A.” came in.
“At Battery, we’ve all staked our own careers and livelihoods on the power of creativity to solve big problems,” said Philip Khosid, chief creative officer at Battery. “So we’re stepping up to pay it forward to Seoul Sausage and to the city that gave us the opportunity to build the business of our dreams, with the one thing we know works. Because we get it.”
“The pandemic has thrown up roadblocks for great businesses in so many ways,” said Stoopid Buddy Stoodios co-founder Matthew Senreich. “We were honored to help Seoul Sausage through the Idea For LA program with Battery to get their message of delicious Korean Sausage to the people. Through the help of Donald Faison and our crack Buddy Builds team, we were able to bring the Seoul Sausage to life.”
Winners of The Food Network’s Great Food Truck Race season 3, Seoul Sausage used the prize money to open a brick and mortar Seoul Sausage Company restaurant in Los Angeles’ Sawtelle area. They later expanded to an additional store in Oxnard and a location in L.A.’s Little Tokyo District. Besides their signature KBBQ wieners (The Kalbi Pork and The Sweet and Spicy Chicken), Seoul Sausage became widely known for a new take on a Korean classic, Kimchi Fried Rice (made into deep-fried balls) and for its unique Korean BBQ burger and Korean Fried Chicken. Seoul Sausage later morphed into a large-scale catering outfit.
In March 2020, after coming off of its largest month of revenue, the Kim brothers’ business disappeared due to the Covid 19 pandemic. Seoul Sausage pivoted to an online presence with a food-gifting concept called #foodequalsfamily that promoted families eating together at home by delivering “Korean Essentials” care packages. This ultimately evolved into their current venture: selling their most popular menu items as food delivery kits which overnight made the Seoul Sausage menu available for overnight shipping nationwide.
“This year, 2020, completely wiped us out,” said Yong Kim. “We gave ourselves one month to mope and feel sorry for ourselves. Since then, we have pivoted our business entirely and rather than playing defense, we flipped the switch into offense mode. We’re hungrier than ever and at this point have nothing to lose. Watch out for us.”

AgencySpy Features Battery's Latest Work With Jackbox Games

Los Angeles agency Battery debuted its first work for Chicago-based game developer Jackbox Games, promoting the company’s Jackbox Party Pack 7 (video above).
“We chose Battery to be our first advertising partner because of their deep expertise in gaming and streaming entertainment,” Jackbox Games CEO Mike Bilder said in a statement. “The work they are producing right out of the gate is heady, to say the least, and perfectly suited to targeting our core demographic and expanding our reach to new audiences.”
“The Jackbox Party Pack games are all about people coming together in person or over Zoom to laugh and have a good time,” Battery creative director Joe Sgro added. “The games themselves put everyday people into absurd situations, which makes for the best kind of memories…weird ones.”

AgencySpy covers Battery's work with Borjomi water

&nbsp;
If you think you’ve had mineral water, you may not have tried Borjomi, which comes from the rock layers of the Caucasus Mountains of Georgia (the country, not the state). Let’s go ahead and say that it’s an acquired taste, as the water is chock full of minerals (and over 45% of your daily sodium intake per bottle).
Agency Battery, with Exervus on media, created some tongue-in-cheek ads that show that Borjomi, based in Ukraine, is not for everyone. The position is “Tastes Like Nature,” and it certainly does, especially if it’s not refrigerated. When cold, though, it is pretty tasty. At least to half the people in the ads.
“Borjomi is originally the golden standard of natural mineral water in Eastern Europe,” said Nataliia Revika, IDS Borjomi International global brand portfolio director. “When we came to explore U.S. market opportunities about a year ago, we found out that despite very high competitive clutter, there are not many brands with such a high unique mineral content. That’s why it creates a special personalized taste experience for trialists: some consumers feel it’s like seawater and some say it’s a smooth taste with a hint of minerals.”

Activision Teams Up With Battery on New Campaign for Highly Anticipated Release of 'Crash Bandicoot™ 4: It's About Time'

LOS ANGELES, September 30, 2020 (Newswire.com) &#8211; Activision and Battery, the creative advertising agency that makes game-changing campaigns for a variety of top global consumer brands, have teamed up on the launch of a campaign for Crash Bandicoot™ 4: It’s About Time. The highly anticipated video game is the first original game to the Crash franchise in more than 12 years. The new campaign breaks today, the game will drop on Oct. 2, 2020.
“Crash is back with new levels, new moves, new powers and epic boss battles never seen before,” said Michelle Bresaw, VP of Product Management and Marketing. “To help give everyone a heads up and get Crash fans ready for what’s ahead, we are teaming up with Battery, our longtime advertising partner and a true creative leader in gaming entertainment marketing.”
“Fans are finally getting the all-new Crash game they’ve been waiting for, and it’s about time,” said Battery Creative Director Drea Schneider, who worked on the campaign with fellow Creative Director Michelle Nam Fischer. “Crash 4 picks up where the original trilogy left off in the ‘90s,” said Nam Fischer. “So we wanted to bring back some of what made those commercials so great, but through a modern lens.”
The popular rap artist and Crash fan Quavo makes a guest appearance in the “New Drop” trailer in which Crash crashes a sneaker drop at a sneaker store and encounters the rapper. Crash spots Quavo as a genuine fan, with his blinged-out Aku Aku chain, and starts to call out the new powers and features in Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time as Quavo responds back with his signature ad-libs.

<h1 class="article-headline">Epic Games Store Partners with Battery and Havas Media for Creative and Media Duties for “The Vault” Free Game Campaign</h1>
<h2 class="subheadline">Bold campaign pushes Epic Game Store to over 61 Million Monthly Active Users on PC</h2>
NEW YORK, June 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) &#8212; Battery and Havas Media announce today that the Epic Games Store joined forces with the Havas Group for creative and media duties on an unprecedented user acquisition campaign “The Vault”. The pair executed the media, strategy, and creative development for this global campaign through an integrated approach to increase global awareness and drive new user acquisition.
“The Vault” campaign, which ran from May 14th through June 18th, featured a major, top-secret free game giveaway each week that players could acquire and keep forever. Media focused on digital and got placed across 21 markets, including the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, and Russia, to name a few.
“Since launching the Epic Games Store, we’ve always wanted to create a huge event around our very successful Free Games weekly program to give something awesome to players worldwide, and we decided to go big. We invested in acquiring the rights to give four of the biggest games in the world away free. We needed an agency partner who could execute big for us globally. Battery’s deep experience in gaming plus Havas Group’s media capabilities fit the bill. The results have exceeded our expectations,” said Steve Allison, GM Epic Games Store. “In 2020, we’ve been growing at a historic rate. Epic Games Store partners have a huge audience of players to sell their games to and receive 88% of the revenue, instead of only 70% as on other platforms.”
As a result of “The Vault” campaign, the Epic Games Store set many new user milestones, including average Peak Concurrent Users (PCCU) on PC of 13 million and Monthly Active Users (MAU) on PC of over 61 million.
Battery led creative out of Los Angeles and Havas led Media out of Chicago through Havas Group’s Village approach. Through this integrated approach, Havas Media and Battery will continue to drive more meaningful moments for Epic Games’ legions of fans.
“We are incredibly proud of this launch and the opportunity to partner with Epic Games, a true paragon of the gaming industry,” said Lisa Evia, President, Havas Media overseeing Chicago and Canada. “By crafting a meaningful media experience, we were able to authentically connect the brand with gamers and drive extraordinary performance and growth for the Epic Games Store on a global scale.”
“Battery was thrilled to partner with the Epic Games Store during this time to deliver incredible free games and value to players worldwide. We’re honored to help the Epic Game Store with this global initiative,” said Mike Parseghian, Partner/Head of Brand Management.
