My team and I came up with the idea of creating a brand new day to help Verizon Wireless humanize their brand and kick off the holiday season. This new day, called Connection Day, connected travelers to the people and things that they loved the most on the busiest travel day of the year.

The goal was to help people turn their Thanksgiving trek into a triumph by offering them entertaining content and digital giveaways from such partners as: Amazon, Apple, Condé Nast, Gogo, Boingo, Pandora, and JetBlue. These giveaways were free to everyone and Verizon "More Everything" customers received an extra 2GB of data for being brand loyalists.

From ideation to customer journey, from media planning to buying, our integrated campaign delivered a holistic campaign including: online display, pre-roll video, radio, and a landing experience.

Connection Day generated almost 3.7 million visits to the landing page, driving over 735,000 sign-ups and more than 1.461 million visitors to VerizonWireless.com on Connection Day. This campaign won a DMA Echo Award (2016) and has been featured on: Advertising Age, BGR. CIO Today, C/NET, CNN Money, Digital Trends, engadget, Fast Company, Geek, Good Morning America, Mashable, MTV, Nasdaq, NBC, New York Times, PC Magazine, Phandroid, Reuters, Today Show, VH1, Washington Post, and more.

Acted as Executive Producer and Creative Director for Cold Brew Cafe Campaign, which included: DRTV commercial, photo shoot, and all supporting sales and marketing materials.

Commercial was primarily filmed at my house and I acted as an extra during the filming at The Drawing Room Cafe.

First step. First love. First apartment.

Life is filled with firsts. This Verizon Wireless "Firsts" Campaign included two pre-roll spots (Firsts and Time Together) that showed the power of human connections and all of the firsts powered on Verizon Wireless, America's largest LTE network.

For over a year at R/GA, I was dedicated to rebranding L'Oreal Paris, which included websites and banners.  

During that time, I provided creative direction and copy for the following websites: L'OrealParis.com, Advanced RevitaLift, Age Perfect Pro-Calcium, Color of Hope, L'Oreal Awards, Women of Worth, and more. 

I currently lead the entire HP Creative Team at Zeta, who deliver an enormous amount of award-winning digital assets every month including the following:

- New Product Launch, which featured these three animated new product emails that won IAC, W3, and Communicator Awards.
- Spectre X2 Launch featured a clean modern design to illustrate the detachable laptop and won an IAC.
- Omen targeted series gamers with a sleek design that won an IAC and Communicator Award.
- Star Wars Special Edition Notebook leveraged the brand union to help win a Caples Award and W3 Award.

How do you define yourself in an extremely competitive and oversaturated world of data and marketing? By positioning yourself as a leading provider of data-driven, one-to-one email and cross channel marketing solutions.

To rebrand Acxiom Impact in a modern way that humanized our brand, we created a fully integrated campaign which included: sizzle reel, website, email campaign, holiday campaign, and look book.

To feature Verizon Wireless Small Business, we created a :30 second spot called "Digital Dogs" that highlights a day in the life of a small business owner and all of the Verizon products and solutions that keep her business running.

To help show Americans just how important vacations are, we created an unbranded, stop-motion video for Royal Caribbean to help people rethink work you versus vacation you. 

All props were made exclusively for this video by a team of visual artists. We also then created a live-action version called Presentation Demonstration: https://vimeo.com/14563731.
