When legendary candymaker Mars sought to steal share from York Peppermint Patty, the idea was to create iconography that lived beyond mere bite and smile. Both :30 TVCs “Fairytale” and “Perfect Match” drove sales and outpaced the company’s ability to keep the product stocked, contributing to a brand share increase of .3 points in 2007. The commercials were taken off the air in advance of the 12-week media buy as demand outstripped supply of the product. This was solely attributed to the work created by the agency. As a result, UniWorld was named Mars Agency of the Year in 2008.

In African American women, hormone-receptor positive breast cancer often assumes a more virulent and aggressive form. The model shot for the campaign was an actual breast cancer sufferer and used the medication at one point. Research revealed that effective communication to this target would necessarily include direct and unequivocal messaging around core spirituality and inner strength. The Arimidex "I AM" targeted campaign positioning became the universal platform for all brand communications. During the run of the print campaign, the number of scripts written increased dramatically leading to the PhAME Award for best multicultural campaign 2008.
