Allstate were looking to develop and test multiple blog page designs among audiences to see which had the greatest positive impact on click-through-rates.

Acting as lead Art Director on the project, I worked alongside my copywriter to brainstorm and develop wireframes to solve current click-through pain points. Upon approved concept and wireframe discovery, I then refreshed the overall look of the site for handoff to development.

Trailblazers is an original podcast from Dell Technologies that tells the stories of unexpected digital disruption, with Walter Isaacson as host.

Our first step in promoting the show was to create a visual for the audio-based content. Our trailer focused on the individual, teasing the idea that anyone can be a trailblazer.

Creating a campaign that gave an overall positive brand message for two very different cards was no easy task. We took to social to tap into loyal customers' love of their cards and then branched out onto the streets of LA with beloved celebrity, Ross Mathews. Playing fun quick-fire personality driven games and surprising unsuspecting cardholders with miles or cash back, depending on their preference. Those in the social sphere were also encouraged to take part with a $10k prize going out to the most loyal cardholder.
