Gates Foundation | Pitch work and Campaign concepts

A collection of pitch work that accompanied our proposal, everything from outdoor around their offices to an online subsection of our site to coffee shop sleeves. All intended to garner their attention and illustrate our passion for their cause. Included are some comps of the initial campaign idea to the website comps showcasing our traveling documentary concept. Didn't get the work but was so proud of the team that I worked with on it that I have included it within this book. This was a team effort of Matt Gilmore, Adam Brock, Lisa O'Brien, Josh Naugher, Eric Gutierrez, Tom Milewski and many more.

Ri53again.com | Campaign launch for Microsoft's IME 3.0 gaming mouse

Ri53again.com is a viral marketing campaign for the relaunch of the IME 3.0 gaming mouse for Microsoft. I co-concepted and co-art directed this piece with Jeff Deroshia while at HL2. The mouse was targeted to young gamers that specialize in counterstrike team play tournaments, so we shot a video where the narrative "follows" a team on their way to a tournament. We scouted, shot and designed everything ourselves on a shoestring budget. It was awarded honoree status at the 2006 Webby Awards.

Brooks Sports PR Mailers | Illustration and Graphic Design

Getting the Brooks apparel and footwear in front of editors prior to the busy holiday season proved a challenge that only exceptional creative solutions would surmount. For two straight years myself and the internal design team at Brooks Sports along with Scott Ichikawa from Litfuse Design concepted fun interactive direct mailers that would not only get the editors to play but also educate them on what each piece of apparel or footwear could do for the consumer. Our media coverage success was measured by not only responses directly from the editors but a huge jump in placements during those years. I was responsible for leading the creative and the actual illustration of the pieces.

Velocity Comic & Spike design | Illustration

This is a consumer piece targeting runners at marathons and team events in the form of a comic book with an online ending. I art directed and illustrated a full 16 page comic book and the internal team of myself, writer Amber Hescock, designers Carlos Lantz and Teriann Vaughan co-concepted the story of 4 heroes whose super powers came from Brooks gear - and a dangerous villain weather man who could control the weather and turn their fair Velo city upside down. This piece drove tons of traffic and had one of the best print to web conversions of any piece I've worked on. The role of the villian was played by our IT guy as well as many other co-workers who were worked into the storylines as superheroes.

 

The spike design was targeted to younger track athletes and was my first entry into illustration for footwear.

Brooksrunning.com | Website design

I redesigned the Brooks website in 2003 from the ground up, putting in place interactive flash elements and a solid seo framework that would prove hugely successful for such a small grassroots running shoe company. I worked with James Dvorak for the shoe advisor. The site has changed alot since I've left years ago but the seo framework is still in place.
