  • May 2012 - Nov 2016

  Created branding, stickers, as well as print and video ads for local businesses. Trained and teamed up with Account Person, created videos with print campaigns especially to pitch to VW and Nike. These projects enabled us to attract the attention of New Balance (Boston) and Asics Tiger (Aneheim), unfortunately, while the agency was relocating and re-structuring (I could not afford Account Person full-time and had to change strategy) Had the satisfaction to conduct from scratch the research and solutions for San Mateo Lock Works Marketing and Advertising needs. After thorough research, ended up minimizing focus on Social Media, concentrated efforts in re-branding the company and Integrated Traditional Advertising around “Silicon Valley”: Logos, DM pieces, Print and Interactive Ads (billboards, magazines, newspapers, murals...) Learning to gently close the door and turn the page with a smile... Show less
