Happy Father’s Day, Mr. Rayos
// AGENCY: DEUTSCH CLIENT: Angel soft CODENAME: Tagalog //
For Father's Day in 2016, we gave one amazing dad the only thing he really wanted:
a chance to see his family again.
In case you don’t want to cry, here’s the gist. Melquiades Rayos lives with his daughter and her husband in Oakland while working 3 jobs to raise money and try to get Visas for his other 8 children in the Phillippines. He’s a hell of a guy with a hell of a story. Bonus factoid: There are exactly 2 professional Tagalog translators in Los Angeles.

For Mother’s Day, we created cards any mother would love.
Even when “Mom” isn't technically your mother.
A year after men's rights activists were up in arms about our Father's Day video celebrating single moms, we wanted to make sure nobody was left out. We worked with local artists to create cards for single dads, aunts, grandmothers, adoptive parents, awesome siblings and anyone else who didn’t get a day of their own. We even reached out to Hallmark and American Greetings to put these cards on the shelves. Turns out we were a little late, but we printed small runs of the cards anyway.
