"“Creativity - our competitive advantage,” according to the agency. But is there more to it than that? Well, yes: while the industry spent much of the past 12 months retreating into mergers and existential dread about AI, Mother quietly yet purposefully set its course by the three-pointed north star that has guided the company since its foundation in 1996. “Do the best work we possibly can, have fun, make a living. Always in that order.”"
"Let’s start with Anthropic, where the agency developed Keep Thinking, a brand platform that confronts the anxieties surrounding AI head-on, positioning Claude as a collaborator rather than a replacement for human thought. In a category often dominated by dystopian narratives, its campaign struck a different tone, aiming to define a more optimistic vision for AI's role in everyday life."
"Elsewhere, Mother proved it can just as easily command attention at scale. For Coinbase, it created Everything is Fine, a full-blown musical that turned crypto's volatility into a national talking point, racking up more than 300 million views and even prompting a debate in Parliament. EA Games' launch of Battlefield 6 became the franchise's most successful ever thanks to Mother, reaching 32 million views in its first week."
"Meanwhile, several campaigns for Uber helped deliver the brand's most effective mobility work to date, and StreetEasy's Never Become a Former New Yorker drove a 32% increase in site traffic, becoming the brand's most socially engaging campaign ever. The Mother Family even branched out into luxury perfume, devising the name, visual identity and tone of voice for deodorant brand Rollr through Mother Design."
Creativity serves as a competitive advantage and supports continued success through a guiding priority order: do the best work possible, have fun, and make a living. While the industry focused on mergers and concerns about AI, the agency pursued a three-pointed north star established since 1996. A brand platform for Anthropic positions Claude as a collaborator to address anxieties about AI with an optimistic vision. For Coinbase, a musical campaign turned crypto volatility into a widely discussed national topic, generating over 300 million views and reaching political debate. For EA Games, Battlefield 6 achieved record performance with 32 million views in its first week. Uber mobility work delivered effective results, and StreetEasy’s campaign increased site traffic by 32% and became the most socially engaging. The agency also expanded into luxury perfume by creating naming, visual identity, and tone of voice for Rollr deodorant.
