The Maine Thing | Campaign

Tasked with revitalizing Maine's tourism identity, this omnipresent brand campaign was designed to capture the state's unique blend of rugged natural beauty, coastal charm, and authentic local culture. From high-level brand positioning to integrated messaging across digital, print, and experiential platforms, the campaign redefined Maine as not just a destination, but a feeling—wild, welcoming, and unmistakably real. With a focus on storytelling, immersive visuals, and a unified voice, the strategy elevated Maine’s profile while aligning with traveler values of sustainability, connection, and exploration.

Allegiant Airlines

Very Direct | Campaign

This bold brand campaign for Allegiant Airlines was built around a simple idea: give the customer credit. By spotlighting Allegiant’s unique selling points— nonstop routes to under-served cities, low fares, and customizable travel options—we crafted a clever, confident voice that spoke to budget-conscious travelers without ever talking down to them. The campaign leaned into transparency, value, and choice, positioning Allegiant as the airline for those who know how to travel smart.

The result was a campaign that didn’t just raise awareness but ultimately, empowered teens to make informed choices while driving measurable impact across key awareness and behavior metrics.

This bold, eye-opening campaign tackled widespread misinformation about sex head-on—no shame, no sugarcoating.

Turn A Life Around | Campaign

To address a critical foster parent shortage, we launched a heartfelt, creative campaign that highlighted the life-changing role foster families play. With an emotional TV spot and teaser billboards, the message was clear: one decision can change a child’s life forever. The campaign earned widespread media attention and sparked a surge in inquiries. More than awareness, it delivered results—helping to close the gap and connect more children with the loving homes they deserve.

The Smartest Choice | Website Content

We completely redesigned and rewrote the Robertson Brain Health website to make complex neurological and psychological concepts accessible, engaging, and hopeful. The new site simplifies the science while highlighting the transformative benefits of their approach. With a clear, empathetic voice and a refined, modern design, the site draws a powerful parallel: just as we rewired the digital experience, the mind, too, can be rewired for the better. The result is a platform that informs, inspires, and invites meaningful change during a time when the mental health of our society demands to be prioritized.
