WHO I AM
Award winning Creative Director with Brand experience in categories ranging
from automotive to retail and from healthcare to food. A strong leader and
good listener. An Art Director at heart but one who loves to write and
create content for all media channels.
WORK THAT I'M VERY PROUD OF
1. Creative lead on a fully integrated brand building campaign for
Weyerhaeuser that revitalized
the company's image. Once thought of as an old-economy industry
(lumberjacks in plaid shirts)
Weyerhaeuser is now seen as a cutting-edge high-tech company
(scientists with pocket
protectors.) The campaign exceeded goals on all objectives:
. Positive impressions increased 36%.
. Visits to the website increased 39%.
. Click-through rate 60% more efficient than the industry average.
2. Recent work for Nestle Carnation Instant Breakfast Essentials scored off
the charts in ASI
testing with an eye-popping 285 points. (Typically, a good score is
70.) One television
spot generated a record breaking $108 million in sales for the year.
3. Campaign for Artists Against Piracy began the debate over downloading
music online --
a defining moment in copyright protection. The work raised awareness
and was a
lightning rod for the issue. It spearheaded the movement to fee-based
music downloads.
4. New business wins: Weyerhaeuser Corporate, Weyerhaeuser Containerboard
and packaging,
Weyerhaeuser Fine Paper, iLevel, Artists Against Piracy, Phillips
Aviation, Hoyu, HealthNet,
Domtar and Esurance.
