Blue Cross 2017

This annual BCBS campaign out of HY Connect always manages to put on a clinic of parody, cramming more genre-defining tropes into a minute than you can cram clowns into a VW Beetle. The music and sound design is critical to that, so we're honored to be tapped for this campaign year after year. Check the spots out below!
