In collaboration with NBCUniversal's Corporate Communications, I directed the team tasked with enhancing employee communication regarding corporate business, events, and entertainment news.


To enhance global employee engagement, a dynamic weekly digital newsletter was developed. This initiative required meticulous and consistent troubleshooting of HTML/CSS to ensure uniform display across Microsoft Outlook on both PC and Mac platforms. The newsletter is deployed through Campaign Monitor.


Our strategic approach addressed two key challenges: the technical limitations of email design, particularly concerning Microsoft Outlook compatibility across various devices, and the need to align the design with the dynamic nature of the entertainment industry while effectively engaging NBCUniversal's internal audience. We successfully delivered a solution that met these requirements. Subsequent campaign initiatives included digital advertising on internal elevator screens and a proposed employee engagement tote bag.

At Arnell Group (for Peter Arnell), & under the additional direction of Mike Doyle, I contributed to a comprehensive brand redesign initiative for Pepsi. This involved working within a branding design team to develop multiple, dynamically conceptual distinct iterations in a collaborative team.

Concept
Upon the project's completion, and after leaving Arnell, I chose to re-evaluate, revisit and re-examine one of the more successful custom typographic logo/identity out-takes I had contributed in the exploratory. One that was not selected as the final design, and make into a more rounded strategic campaign. It focuses on emphasizing brand authenticity and individual expression. You Be You. A potential campaign narrative would challenge prevailing norms and foster a culture where individuality is not only accepted but celebrated. It would explore a world where aspirations are pursued without regret, and external limitations are disregarded, resonating with a consumer base seeking genuine connection and empowerment.

Execution
What is shown here are a series of strategic explorations for a more profound evolution of the Pepsi brand. These concepts reimagine Pepsi by prioritizing authentic human expression, unifying brand identity while simultaneously enhancing product differentiation through distinct flavor-specific designs and a 'special edition' white can.
