When a legendary Silicon Valley player launches a new Mac, there’s only one way to announce it - Keynote speech

To help Rice-a-Roni (the San Francisco treat) unveil its highly-anticipated pasta innovation, Mac-a-Roni, we created a deliciously cheesy keynote with Joel McHale as our obsessive guru. And did we also open a pop up Mac Store, modeled after a tech store, to give consumers, influencers, and media a taste the possibilicheese? Fork yeah we did.
