Kamp Grizzly teamed up with Saatchi & Saatchi New York to create a fun-filled spot that everyone can relate to.  A group of friends help their buddy out on the proverbial move.  Boxes and furniture are hefted into a moving truck, sweat is wiped from foreheads, and those awkward, larger pieces are deftly maneuvered in place.  To thank his friends for their help, our mover isn't just going to give them any old beer, but rather the Texas twelve-pack of Miller Lite - featuring twelve, sixteen-ounce cans - to quench their thirst.  A big job deserves a big beer.

DDB NY tapped the Kamp Grizzly team to bring their unique visual style to an Ad Council campaign for the US Tennis Association's College Fund and National Junior Tennis & Learning organization.
