BONE-TFF-5

THE CHALLENGE

Inspire attendance to Tribeca Film Festival by developing a marketing campaign that is exciting and memorable, directly references the film industry, and succeeds in announcing multiple new festival programming media categories.

THE SOLUTION

"Tribeca Forward" leverages the film industry's protocol of draft-denoting colored scripts to represent a dynamic festival experience, compose copywriting to read like screenplay director notes to promote 'taking action', and embrace the physical act of tearing paper to create drama, and an always-changing visual behavior.

GRAPHIC DEVICE—
WHOLE INDIVIDUALS MAKE A WHOLE COMMUNITY

Alfred started as an errand-running service with the simple promise of giving customers their time back, so they might spend it on higher-value personal priorities.

This concept was embraced as a foundation principle in the corporate rebrand. The identity of Alfred was honed to embrace individual growth as a result of savvy technological aide, and the positive effects this has at a larger scale as entire communities transform into one most-dynamic society.

BONE-PAPERLESS-19

Until 2015, Paperless Post was known for beautiful greeting cards, but not for visual brand storytelling. 

By establishing the first generation Brand Dept and recruiting talented designers, copywriters, stylists, and photo editors, my team produced dynamic marketing creative that would stimulate a peak in audience engagement and conversion. 

The objective of the creative team was always simple: remind our audience of the joy of hosting loved ones in person—and have contageous fun doing it.

GRAPHIC DEVICE—
LOOKING THROUGH THE ZOETROPE

Belmont Park, the historical location of New York's newest arena, has been the backdrop of many iconic moments in sports and pop culture.

Using the zoetrope as a symbolic muse for our applied design system, the photo murals that line the storied hallways of UBS Arena offer audiences a viewport to legendary scenes from the past, brought back to life to usher in today's boldest performances.
