Creative spans across paid media: Banner sizes (300x250, 300x600, 160x600, 320x50, 728x90, 900x250) Native Ad Partners like Uber, Kargo, Condé Nast, Pinterest OLV's and more. Above are the OLV's where you can see the general work that was tailored across platforms. Art direction: While the family of cards have the same font, they have their own distinct look, using brand colors. Also, imagery is selected based on data insights. Traveler card customers love pool/beach scenery and prefer more domestic locations. Premier customers prefer to see luxurious interiors such as lobbies, and business customers prefer to see international pool/beach properties–not conference rooms. The brand bar quickly lets customers get a peek of the diverse brand portfolio. The end screen drives a CTA to the offer.

Chase IHG Tiktok

Strategy
Chase IHG is speaking to the finance and travel communities on tiktok. We want to promote the “no annual fee’ traveler card and its key benefits. We do so, by leveraging evergreen tiktok trends into our concepts.

POV: A 4th Night Free
The first concept is called “POV: 4th night free”. We use a combined evergreen “POV” trend and popular jump transition, to quickly tell the story. We invites viewers to imagine what it may be like, to have the card, and reap its rewards.

How It Feels
The second concept is “how it feels”. The card itself is a magical device. Each time the card is touched, It playfully jumps from every day life to an exciting new travel experience.

Social videos for the multi-cultural division of L'oreal. Hair product brands include Dark and Lovely and Amla Legend.

Polaris

Social video for Polaris X Latinas Poderosas: International Female Ride Day. Shot on iphone, edited and graded in Davinci Resolve.

MISC.

Impromptu Social video for Pro Skater Air Damon. 15K+ views. Shot on BMPCC4K, edited and graded in Davinci Resolve. The edit utilizes speed ramping to really add detail to each stunt. It shows not just the successful stunts but also the falls—to bring out Air Damons personality, in which he turns to a young fan and says "It's ok if you fall, as long as you get up to try again". Wrangling the crowd, I encouraged them to cheer for each stunt and then in post, added practical sound effects like an outside crowd cheering to control the amount of cheering for each moment. The gold skates symbolize subculture, hiphop, and is associated with gold chains. It was important this did not get lost in the light colored pavement so for the grade, Teal was added in the shadows to make the gold skates pop.
