The kind of love that lasts a lifetime. Blink and you'll miss the moment in our second “Locals Love the App” spot for McDonald's of Hawaii.

The Pele Awards 2026 are in, and we're thrilled to have been awarded Hawaii's highest creative honor — Best of Show, Advertising for our Living the Dream series with American Savings Bank and Robynne Maii, as well as the 2026 Lesly Pyle Judge's Award for "A Lei for L.A." with Hawaiʻi Visitors & Convention Bureau and the L.A. Rams! All in all, we are so proud to have taken home ten awards for four different clients (American Savings Bank, Hawaii Children's Action Network, Hawaii Visitors & Convention Bureau, and McDonald's of Hawaii) on Saturday night, including four Gold Awards, one Silver Award, and three Bronze Awards. A huge mahalo to everyone who made these wins possible, including our clients, our collaborators, and of course, our incredible team. We couldn't tell these stories without all of you.

The McDonald's app, all the way. Proud to debut our first of three "Locals Love the App" spots for @mcdonaldshawaii! 🌈🌈🌈 Mahalo to the McDonald's of Hawaii team and our amazing cast, crew, and post-production partners, including our friends at NMG Network.

We were thrilled to have Zeny Picone join us for our ChatMVNP speaker series to talk about AI at work. Zeny is a creative strategist, design thinker, and multidisciplinary marketer who has worked at Google for the past 11 years as a Creative Lead and Senior Marketing Manager. Best of all, she's homegrown and started her advertising career as an MVNP intern. Zeny worked with MVNP to develop an AI playbook, introduced us to Google's AI tools, and inspired us to use AI responsibly to nurture human connection in an increasingly digital world.

Wondering what the new year holds? The first three words you see will describe your Year of the Fire Horse. Kung Hee Fat Choy from MVNP, and here’s to a safe and happy year ahead.
