WORK HISTORY

Creative Director
Deep Focus
Feb 2006 - PRESENT

I Work directly with my clients to create interactive extentions and content for their brands. I manage a mixed group of 20 (art directors, designers, and developers) on a constantly rotating set of 6-8 concurrent campaigns. My solutions combine developing an overarching idea that connects all digital media (including: rich media banners, page takeovers, websites, facebook widgets, digital content, etc) to create a single experience thread for the viewer. These experiences are supported by
outdoor stunt and viral ideas. I then collaborate closely with in-house media buyers and PR group to increase target reach as well as buzz around each concept.
