As an American taxpayer you own mustangs. We need to celebrate who they are, where they are located and what they need. Working with the Mustang Heritage Foundation I created the campaign, supervised media and public relations planning and produced the creative elements of the campaign from video to banner ads to trade show materials. What an honor.

We were honored to have the opportunity to document and tell the story of the James Avery Company. Started over 60 years ago in Kerrville, Texas James Avery began to craft his jewelry and create life-long relationships with his customers. The seven videos are showcased in the new visitor center as a journey through the design and manufacturing process. 

We also had the opportunity to create and produce online marketing videos to promote Valentines and their charm line.

Worked with BigLook Productions and my friends Greg Hughs and Phil Paternite. And thank you to Marty, our client, at James Avery.

I had the honor of being the Director of Marketing for the Mustang Heritage Foundation for three years. I have never been in a position to have such a creative impact on a client’s business. I designed and produced all creative elements from traditional advertising, broadcast, video, web design, digital marketing. I partnered with and managed media and PR planning and execution. The whole package. The Extreme Mustang Makeover is the lead event for the Foundation and has done nothing but become more successful and more dynamic in helping get wild mustangs gentled, trained and into private homes.

Roscoe State Bank is celebrating its 110th year as a community bank. The bank with three locations was in need of a relevant brand message. Being a local bank with employee that live near the bank locations the positioning was to be a bank that is like your "best neighbor". A picket fence became the symbol of what it means to be a neighbor. The language is familiar. The look is simple and direct.

The idea that an undergraduate education should prepare you for a global world was not expected from the Austin, Texas based university. With university partnerships in over 14 countries St. Edward’s is becoming a leading university by providing the experiences and education that today’s world demands. We created the Take On Your World campaign to broadcast the idea that St. Edward’s can be the door to global understanding and prepare you for where you want to go. We were involved in brand positioning, campaign development and execution.

This was a very heart felt project. The founder is a wonderful lady who created the clinic with a mission to provide healthcare free of charge for those who cannot afford it. The more we got to know everyone the more we knew how powerful their message was.

I was the creative director and wrote the stimulus for the interviews. I want to thank Greg Hughs who was director, cameraman and editor on the project.

The video debuted at the annual Sacred Heart gala and helped double the contributions over the year prior. The video was even mentioned in the Austin Statesman gossip column as an award-winning video.

Innovation First, a innovative robotics company, created a roach-like toy to drive student aged kids to a site to learn about science and engineering. To accomplish the goal the site incorporated online gaming, IQ tests and product collecting. The strategy was to challenge users to obtain as many points as possible to become the global leader and be invited to become an official member of the Hand & Stars Society. To enter the site a unique serial number was added to the product packaging that upon registration sent you to the Hand & Stars site. After one year in market the site had 388,342 visits nearing 15,000 daily visitors, 27% bounce rate, 7:46 average time on site and  5.36 average page views per visit. 

 The HEXBUG Nano was nominated for Specialty Toy of the Year by the Toy Industry Association. The HEXBUG Nano was getting credit as an educational product rather than a gadget largely due to the success of the Hand & Stars website.

Cancer research funding has been a target for reducing spending and the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network needed a campaign to raise awareness for the needs of cancer survivors for finding a cure.
