Sparky the Wonder Dog

I recently had the opportunity to work with two different dogs while creating two different commercials. It was quite an experience. Although they are both trained, obedient animals, achieving the exact behaviors we wanted took a lot of time and patience. The end result was well worth it, and I look forward to sharing the new commercials with you once they’re ready to air.

One of the dogs, Sparky, is pictured here. He is a terrier mix with tons of spunk. He has so many different expressions, from happy and content to fierce and annoyed. He was very fun to work with once I learned to flow with him and wait for him to be ready to perform. I even persuaded him to speak over and over again. He must have thought I was crazy or just hard of hearing.

After all of this experience I have decided that the challenge of working with animals is well worth the time and effort. Not too surprising, since working with horses is one of my hobbies.

Lady Gecko is a character we created to help promote Elliott Insurance in Yakima. She’s a sassy but classy little gecko with a quick wit and a deep disdain for big call center insurance companies. Lady Gecko is a big fan of shopping locally for insurance whether it’s in person, over the phone, or online. She’s not a sell-out like her brother.

In this commercial, Lady Gecko is all about technology.

Lady Gecko Loves Technology

She is on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. So, if you want to see the latest about the Lady, you can just look her up.
