  • Lyft

    VANCOUVER YOUR FACE OFF

    Vancouver is the largest city in North America without rideshare. And it's one of the cities perhaps most in need of it with long waits for taxis, early end times for public transit, limited parking and of course lots and lots of rain (almost half the year at an average of 161 days/year). In 2019, Vancouver finally lifted its ban, allowing Lyft to make the entrance. We introduced Lyft with a campaign promising to bring spontaneity back into locals' lives, making it easier to enjoy the best Vancouver has to offer.

  • YETI

    BUILT FOR THE WILD

    I was fortunate enough to be part of the epic ride of working with the YETI team from 2013 to 2017. In 2013 the idea of a premium cooler category was just emerging and by 2017 we had developed foundational work of their brand positioning, tagline, myriad fully integrated national brand campaigns and product launches, films and covetable merch.

  • Brand Positioning

    Whether overhauling or evolving, developing a brand's positioning and personality still feels like the most important of important work.

    Howler Brothers

    An Austin-based clothing and lifestyle brand that is being adopted quickly by those who appreciate a good margarita sipped in the tropics while on a DIY surf mission.

     

    Howler came to us to create something to articulate their brand purpose. Our task was to reduce a 30-minute speech into a 30-page (plus one custom-pressed vinyl) introduction to the soul of the brand.

    Chaco

    Chaco was born on a river in Colorado in 1989. Developed by professional rafting guides, the brand has become a staple of outdoor adventures far beyond the Rockies. We were asked to make the footwear brand more rich, colorful, inclusive and energy-driven. All while keeping the connection to the brand's founding principles – performance, quality and the pursuit of adventure.

    East Foundation

    A legacy family's ranch developed a foundation committed to promoting the advancement of land stewardship through ranching, science, and education. We were charged with evolving their brand of ranching personality beyond steaks and burgers to prove that the conservation of wildlife and our natural resources can walk hand-in-hand with ranching.

    4ocean

    A two-man operation selling bracelets on Facebook from Boca Raton, FL to a leading voice in the effort to take plastic out of the world's oceans, while operating in five countries. We were asked to bring vision to their vision.

     

    This work was completed in advance of a new site launch, new packaging and a product extension effort.
