Southeast Missouri has one of the highest infant mortality rates in the country. To combat this, Bootheel Babies & Families turned to the affected communities for help. This campaign was designed to reach out to volunteers interested in joining a Bootheel Babies steering committee. These committees were tasked with identifying the root causes of infant mortality in their own community, then form a plan for reducing it once and for all.
Here are a few highlights from my work with NewWave Communications, a regional telecommunications company that serves Missouri, Arkansas, Texas and more.
Here are a few highlights from my work on STIHL. This includes print ads, in-store materials, digital banners, emails, and work on STIHLusa.com
In 2013, NewWave introduced a whole-home DVR capable of recording multiple shows at the same time and streaming to mini units in separate rooms. They asked us for a name for this new DVR.
Since the DVR was ideal for large families, I decided to call it “The BOSS”, referencing who’s REALLY in charge of the TV: The kids. The rest of the campaign fell into place from there.
This campaign won a 2013 Regional Addy “Best in Show” Award.
There are only two certainties in life: death and taxes. While the latter doesn’t need any advertising help, funeral homes often do. But I didn’t want to associate the funeral home with death. Death is something we all want to avoid. Instead, I wanted to associate the funeral home with bright colors and an optimistic tone. Funerals are about celebrating someone’s life – and I wanted that uplifting message to carry through all Ford and Sons advertising.
For a little over a year, I worked in the marketing department of Home Decorators Collection. There, I wrote SEO-enhanced web content for their site, including product pages, category pages and specialized landing pages for targeted SEM campaigns. I also got to write emails and the occasional print ad.
As an intern for Rodgers Townsend in 2006, I was fortunate enough to be put on a team that worked on the AT&T/BellSouth merger campaign. One of my proudest moments as a young professional was coming up with the winning idea for the campaign, which was used online, in print and on TV.
For a year, I worked for Propper, assisting them with a rebrand (their first in about 40 years). I worked closely with the marketing team to develop the tone for the brand, implementing it on social media, in their sales materials and in their full-line catalog.
From 2007 to about 2009, I wrote local ads for a ski resort in New Hampshire. Here are a few highlights from that work.
Havco may not be a household name, but chances are you own something that was shipped on their flooring. They are the the number one manufacturer of freight trailer flooring in North America.
I worked with Havco for years to promote their product line, including the flagship product, Fusion Floor. I have also written their website and a many of their collateral materials.
