The 3rd Annual Concussion Halloween Contest was a success! Never lacking in creativity, the Concussionites pulled out all the stops to win this year’s coveted costume contest. First Place, and $100 went to Nick Bendian and Charlie Howlett, who portrayed life-like Toy Soldiers, complete with poses. The winner of 2nd Place and $75 was Celine Hubler, who hand-sewed her orange grenade costume, the Concussion mascot! Rodeo rider Courtney Crummel took 3rd Place and $50, with the help of her “buckin’ bronco” Kit Kat.
Honorable mentions went to May Rashid for her Aunt Sam get-up, and Anna Routh as Nancy Kerrigan, who committed to the role with rollerblades and mascara stains down her face. Other costume favorites were Max from Where the Wild Things Are, a Boom Box, a Traffic Cop, Nurse, “As Seen on TV” complete with a Snuggie, and a Wal-Mart shopper. We can’t wait to see what next year will bring!
To coincide with their centennial celebration, the Fort Worth Zoo enlisted the help of Concussion to mark this milestone. The Concussion team of Andrew Yanez, Nick Bendian and Alex Arellano has launched a campaign including billboards, print ads, TV and radio commercials, and social media strategies that promote the sharing of memories made over the past century and to help drive traffic to the Zoo to make some new ones.
Each week will feature daily keeper chats, live Wild Wonders stage shows and animal enrichment activities to help the community learn more about the Zoo’s 100-year history as the oldest Zoo in Texas! The Zoo will focus on a different decade, you don’t want to miss this special time in Fort Worth.

Derek Johnson, Nick Bendian and a slate of creative professionals from Los Angeles to London just wrapped up the new advertising campaign for the nationally-ranked TCU horned frog football team – including a series of three videos to be unleashed on Horned Frog Nation. The first video, featuring TCU’s consensus All-American defensive end, has blown-up since its launch. It’s achieved viral status as thousands have viewed it on YouTube and passed it through Twitter, Facebook and various blogs. The three spots highlight Reason #98, Reason #14 and Reason #85.
Working in collaboration with the TCU Athletics Marketing Department, Concussion recruited a production team that included Los Angeles-based photographer Moshe Brakha, London-based music composer Aaron Willis, Dallas-based director Robert Latorre and voice talent/actor John William Galt. Andrew Yanez, chief creative offer and partner, said, “When you hear John Galt describe TCU’s All-American as “an All-American wrecking crew” it sends shivers down your spine.
