During my time at Chemistry, I worked on a number of personal projects for the agency. From Social, to Passion projects. Below are some examples of the work I completed.
Passion project
Chemistry wanted to create a light-hearted way to address the issue of sexual harassment within the advertising industry. I had the opportunity of brainstorming ideas with a senior team, and fleshing out some idea's to present the the creative leads of this project.
Cell Block Tango Parady
A parody of the Cell Block Tango from the hit Musical Chicago, substituting the original crimes for instances of sexual harassment in he office.

You know those people who do things no one asked for?
I got one named Colby.
Colby likes to touch my shoulder, and maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if it was a simple tap to get my attention, but no.
Colby liked to grab my shoulders
No, not grab, Rub.
He’d stand real close behind me and rub my shoulders like he was giving me a massage.
I didn’t ask for this, and I certainly didn’t want it.
I told him to stop time and time again, but did he? No, he didn’t.
Let’s just say he became real good friends with the bathroom after I snuck those laxatives into his food.
He had it comin’
He had it comin’
He only had himself to blame
If you’d have been there
If you’d have seen it
I betcha you would have done the same.

I was minding my own business prepping my lunch in the kitchen when Benedict, my boss, walks by and slaps me on the ass.
I was affronted, and when I questioned him, he shrugged it off and said, “chill, we’re both dudes; it’s no big deal.”
It was a big deal, actually, but he’s my boss.
What was I to do?
I figured if he couldn’t keep his hands to himself, I’d sign him up for a few subscriptions that might help.
Let’s just say that the meeting between him and HR lasted a long time after he accidentally shared his screen in a zoom call revealing an inbox littered with some rather “unprofessional” correspondents.
My lunch hasn’t been interrupted since then.
He had it comin’
He had it comin’
He only had himself to blame
If you’d have been there
If you’d have seen it
I betcha you would have done the same.

I met Rodrigo during a college fair. We were talking about internships, and I thought things were going well.
He told me he’d put in a good word for me, and I was so excited to hear I got hired for the summer position, that is, until I got there.
“You owe me,” he’d told me, slipping his hand a little too low for comfort. “I got you this position, and I can easily get you fired.”
That was true, I suppose, but mama didn’t raise no pushover.
It was a tragedy when, the next day, he hit his head against the wall due to his chair collapsing underneath him.
It was less of a tragedy that nobody ever discovered where the screws holding his desk chair together disappeared too.
*Speaker smirks a little as the screws in question roll out of her hand onto the floor*
I don’t think anyone was looking too hard, though.
They had it comin’
They had it comin’
They had it comin’ all along
I didn’t do it
But if I’d done it
How could you tell me that I was wrong?
Creepy Condolences
Flowers that you can send as an apology for acts of sexual harassment performed in the workspace
PINCH YOUR ASS PEONIES
an arrangement with large bright pink peonies
These soft pink petals are like a breath of fresh air for anyone who receives them. Their large blooms represent the amount of remorse you have for touching your coworker despite their obvious discomfort and refusal.
SEXUAL OBJECTIFICATION SUNFLOWERS
A bouquet filled with bright sunflowers
Send some vibrant sunshine to brighten up the day of your coworker after you “accidentally” attached an inappropriate photo of yourself to your email. Perhaps the radiant sunshine will be enough to gain forgiveness for your grotesque, inexcusable actions.
LUSTING LILIES
A bouquet of white asiatic lilies
These pure white lilies, a color representing purity, are the perfect way to show your coworker you’ve turned over a new leaf and will no longer be stalking their every move in the office.
REPUTATION RUINING
RUMOR ROSES
A bouquet of ivory and purple roses with pink mums
These rich purple petals give off an air of royalty, which is exactly what the recipient is despite those false rumors you spread about a night in bed that never happened. Perhaps these flowers will help you recieve some form of mercy for your deeds.
