MICROSOFT
BANNERS ON BANNERS
WHAT:
Create adaptable banners that highlight the new UI/UX look for Microsoft 365 (and are cohesive with our M365 Copilot video campaign we are currently producing.)
MY ROLE:
Picture it: A super tight deadline, crazy client asks, ever-adapting brand design, and a message from a PM asking if you have any free time. Opportunity knocks in the form of a teams dm.
I eagerly jumped in working on banner designs and concepts to help the team progress this M365 campaign. In tandem with the M365 video creative, we started pitching banner designs to match, highlighting their new UX/UI look while Microsoft’s internal team was still redesigning their brand themselves. Several rounds later, we eventually got there with flexible designs, where the messaging can be easily edited to be more personalized for their target audience. Allowing for the client to be able to have countless versions and eventually animate the adaptable banners as well.





HEINEKEN
BEER IS THE PERFECT ICEBREAKER
WHAT:
2024 Gold and Silver ADDY Winner for "Out of Home and Ambient Media Student Campaign" Category
THE DEETS:
My “Start Fresh” community-based campaign positions Heineken as a catalyst for connection. Reddit “Meet Cutes” mixed with guerrilla-marketing, positions Heineken as a resource for their consumers to put themselves out there physically and digitally. All they have to do is “Start with a Hei.”
MY ROLE:
While leading this campaign I had the thought: “Why just have mockups when you can teach yourself to edit a case study video?”. Taking the storytelling of the campaign to the next level, we were able to hone in on the messaging of how Heineken keeps life refreshing by being a partner to their customer. Through a phygital experience– interactive murals, booth activations, name tags, and UGC opportunities– their audience can become a part of something, their way.








THE HUMAN BEAN
COFFEE IS THE CUTEST
WHAT:
Create a year’s worth of campaign creative that make the LTO drinks the heroes, help the brand reach a younger audience, and feels original to the brand, yet on trend within the coffee industry.
MY ROLE:
This was the first New Client pitch I was a part of and won!
We were caffeinated and excited, jumping into the campaign creative, designing window clings, pitching activations, and building relationships with our new client. It was great collaborating with the client and learning their taste. Each brief, we focused on a young, trendy, playful approach and our client really appreciated the world building around each campaign concept. I was able to gain more and more responsibility on the creative for this account, eventually leading pitches, campaign creative, and directing photoshoots and a video with the ACD.

SALES ENABLEMENT OR BUST
WHAT:
E-Learning Customer Journey Video for USPS Marketing Education Portal
USPS Shipping Booklet for Re-engagement Outreach
THE DEETS:
Sales Enablement for USPS prioritized showing off the importance and necessity of print, especially direct mail, for modern marketing today. The consistent challenge with Sales Enablement is how to make the various forms of content and services visually engaging, yet strategically useful.
MY ROLE:
My goal since joining the USPS team, is how much fun can we have with our client. The Senior Copywriter and I evaluated their USPS Marketing Education Platform, found areas we could plus up, and pitched an animated customer video with a playful twist. To make content more engaging, we have to enjoy working on it as well. While I was pushing for a love letter concept to win back the hearts of previous shipping decision-makers, USPS wanted something more formal and packed with information. We landed on a love letter of a booklet keeping the sentiment of “YOU + US(PS)” making the perfect shipping pair.
