Amplify Music Festival

Identity & Branding • Environmental Design • Advertising

Amplify is a non-profit organization that uses the power of music and community to raise funds for local worthy causes. Their main event is a music festival held over 3 days that benefits the local metro Atlanta community. The festival has grown to be held in multiple venues around the square in Decatur, Ga including an open-air stage on the square itself.

We developed a diverse identity system, poster art, website, digital and traditional advertising, and environmental graphics. The identity system speaks to the nature of the work the organization does - amplifying the work non-profit organizations are doing. It also speaks to the nature of the music events the organization puts on. The poster art is a reflection of the musical talents being promoted and is the foundation of the design for the website, advertising campaign, and environmental graphics which change year to year.

The impact of the festival has been tremendous. Attendance numbers have grown year over year. The number of performances and venues has grown year over year. Most importantly since its inception in 2011, the Amplify organization has directed more than $575,000 to community-based nonprofits.

PlumbWorks Academy

Identity & Branding • Animation & Video Planning, Capture, & Editing • Web Design

PlumbWorks Academy is a plumbing education initiative launched by the PlumbWorks brand. PlumbWorks is a plumbing company serving the Metro Atlanta area. They primarily service residential plumbing needs.

The goal of the PlumbWorks Academy was two-fold. Empower homeowners to tackle simple plumbing jobs themselves, and recruit new plumbers to start a career in plumbing. They had identified many simple plumbing tasks that they received a high volume of calls for but were not profitable for the company. They also had noticed a trend of lack of new recruits in the plumbing field.

Our solution was to create an education initiative sponsored by the company. We developed an identity system and branding for the academy based on Plumbworks’ corporate brand. Created a series of educational videos positioning their plumbing staff as the plumbing experts. As well as executed a social and content campaign. All of these efforts pushed to a microsite that acted as a funnel to empower homeowners, generate sales, and recruit plumbers.

We partnered with kaleidary.com for the introduction animation and provided creative direction to a video vendor to produce the how-to videos for the series. A microsite was designed to host the content, act as a conversion tool, and was also used as a recruitment tool. Designed while working at Lenz Marketing.

Coca-Cola

Promotional • Advertising • POS

Coca-Cola has been refreshing the world for over 130 years. I partnered with Coca-Cola to Art Direct packaging, advertising, promotions, & POS for national and regional markets. The focus of the work was primarily motor sports including Formula 1, NHRA, and Nascar. I also had the opportunity to work on Coke sponsored collegiate football programs. I worked with photographers and print production vendors to print these designs to life.

PT Solutions

Branding • Responsive Web Design • Advertising

PT Solutions is a physical therapy organization with locations across the country that focuses on athletes and sports based treatments. They are on a fast growth trajectory and their website was not serving their needs. By employing UX/UI best practices we redesigned the site to focus on ease of use for the client and the way they engaged with the site. We also designed print ads as part of a larger marketing strategy to build brand awareness and roll out a Concussion Center. Designed while working at Lenz Marketing.
