Microsites were also created to reinforce the campaign. Below is one sample of the many pieces I created along with Paul Amelchenko. We felt a somewhat humorous tone was needed to make the brand seem friendly, likable and human. Also to keep the brand competitive in the marketplace.
In the last decade, my art/creative direction work has been featured in various places such as
People, USA Today, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Rolling Stone, Sports Illustrated, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, South Florida Business Journal, The Miami Herald, Print, Communication Arts, The One Show, The Clios, The Andys, as well as several bathroom stalls in biker bars throughout South Florida. • I have lived in ten different states and The Sunshine State is my favorite. I'm an avid art collector and cyclist. I've taught at the Miami Ad School for 6 years and have a highly impractical attachment to old
motorcycles. I live in Boca Raton, FL.
