Slacker P.I.: Too Deep – A Music Video Tribute

By 15 Gigs

“Bo and Wyatt, two unemployed 20-something stoners, spend their lives sitting on the couch watching reruns of their favorite 80s detective show, Derringer P.I.. Faced with a mountain of overdue bills and back rent, our boys’ foggy but overactive imaginations conjure a version of their hero into their living room. Derringer P.I. takes the slackers under his wing and shows them how to deal with partners in too deep, mafia run amok, and territorial drug lords. Undercover goes under the influence.”

Seventh in a series.

The New MSNBC

By The Beachwood TV Team

Mono, the award-winning Minneapolis-based creative branding and advertising agency, today announces the new brand position, campaign and tagline for cable news giant MSNBC.
The line, “Lean forward” is a simple, yet bold statement designed to impassion MSNBC’s audience and urge them to engage with the issues of the day.
For director Spike Lee, the campaign was an opportunity to mix his talents with his beliefs. “It was great to get the call from MSNBC President Phil Griffin and mono. This is a big campaign and it comes at an interesting juncture in American politics. I’m happy to be a part of it.”


The Beachwood TV Team has obtained the taglines to be unveiled in the coming months.

* MSNBC: Do The Left Thing.
* Leaner Staff. Hey, Times Are Tough.
* Lean Left. But Not Too Far Left. In Fact, Just Tilt Your Head Imperceptibly.
