Internship Website and Video

Internship Website and Video

Client: Bernstein-Rein Advertising

The idea we came up with for the 2008 BR Internship campaign was "Interns Make History." Think of all the great contributions interns have made in the past. Maybe Christopher Columbus' intern, or George Washington's intern or other possibly-maybe-fictional interns. The video we made is a short story about Abraham Lincoln's intern. I did the audio production, animation and designed the one-page site.

The Office – Corner Hit

The Office – Corner Hit

Client: Myself

If you haven't watched The Office on NBC, you need to drop whatever you're doing right now and go watch some episodes. In the opening of one of the episodes, everyone is watching one of those infamous 'bouncing square' screensavers and anxiously waiting for the square to hit the very corner of the screen. I thought it was so funny that I re-created the screen saver in Flash the next day. I wanted to see if I could get it to 'go viral' so I did my own blog seeding and created a downloadable screensaver as well as a widget that people can embed on their MySpace or Facebook page. It was a big success. I received almost 40,000 unique visitors in October and November.

Cute Will Never Be the Same

Cute Will Never Be the Same

Client: Kansas City Zoo

Koalas came to the Kansas City Zoo and raised the city's bar on 'cute'. These banner ads fit in seamlessly with the television, radio, print and outdoor executions for this campaign. This campaign was really fun to work on and was a great success for the zoo.

AboveTheRestWeddings.com

Above the Rest is a full-service wedding and event planning company. They needed a professional and simple website to promote their services. I took this site from concept to design to development to live in record time. I love a quick turnaround!
