Ryan Reynolds is known as an enthusiastic, creative brand collaborator. The star famously dove into Deadpool’s marketing from the beginning, and his unique personality helped make the campaigns a runaway success. His playful snark is magical, and a new campaign for mobile game Toon Blast, created with TBWA\Chiat\Day Los Angeles and MJZ director Tom Kuntz, is another Reynolds home run.
