Agency of the Year 2025 · The BroccolatorLeo TorontoRole: Original ideaOct, 2025

Less than 10% of people in advertising are over 50. For Leo's 90th birthday and our 2025 Agency of the Year entry, we launched The Broccolator, a mock AI filter that gives anyone the broccoli haircut and takes years off their look. The hair changes were made with generative AI. The film plays it straight as a tech launch, from the training data and the investors to The Broc-o-Bob app at the top of the App Store chart.

I came up with the original idea and built it out with the Leo Toronto team. Leo Toronto was named Silver Agency of the Year at Strategy's 2025 Agency of the Year awards.

I wanted to explore the Outpainting feature in the DALL·E 2 beta, and Eames's Powers of Ten popped into my mind. All 57 images were created using a text-to-image model to outpaint around the previous image and combined in After Effects.  Later on became part of a Collab with Kelli Anderson, where her previous project using Google image search to re-create the same Eames film was on one side of the Flipbook and mine on the other.
