Suzanne was featured as number 14 of the 29 most powerful female trailblazers in digital by Refinery 29 at dmexco 2017. All 29 women revealed their success secrets, leadership tips, and the awful advice that they didn’t take.

“Young female creatives tend to be afraid to be vocal. You are your biggest advocate. Don’t be quiet.” Suzanne Darmory, Executive Creative Director at Zeta

Suzanne acted as Executive Creative Director for this email, which won Best in Show Single Execution in the 2018 OMMA Awards and Gold W3 for Branded Content. 

The campaign goal was to help Ahold sell more pet products in North America since shoppers don’t necessarily associate their supermarkets with high-value animal care. This email promoted month-long offers, along with cheerful messaging, fun interactions, and the Pet Pharmacy Finder to drive home the idea that Ahold stores are the one-stop solution for all pet needs. 

The success of this email was based on data-backed insights that animal owners are placing a newfound emphasis on high-quality pet care. We targeted pet owners who frequented Ahold stores and purchased pet care items, but who hadn’t purchased anything in the past 28 weeks.

The open rate was 25.73%, increased from the 18.34% average open rate for other Ahold campaigns. The click-to-open rate for this email was 25.80%, far exceeding Ahold’s retail average of 7.97%. 89% of users submitting an answer for the Dogs vs. Cats Poll, making it a top five click through for Ahold.

This email won an OMMA for Best in Show Single Execution and Gold W3 Award for Branded Content for Ahold Delhaize.

To help humanize the Verizon Wireless brand, Suzanne and her team came up with the idea of creating a brand new day (Connection Day) that connected travelers to the their favorite things on the busiest and most stressful travel day of the year - the day before Thanksgiving.

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, this integrated campaign delivered a holistic campaign including: online display, pre-roll video, radio, and a landing page 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.

Connection Day won a DMA Echo Award and it 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.

Verizon Wireless tasked Suzanne and her team to feature products in a very human and emotional way, so they created a campaign called “Firsts”.

Suzanne acted for Executive Creative Director for several Sprint campaigns, including these three award-winning campaigns.
