The client wanted to work with top portrait photographers for their new phone campaign. This was to position themselves as the top camera phone in the industry. They had very particular requirements on the chosen photographer so finding the right person was the first challenge. The second was managing the high profile talent and the client to achieve an outcome with the content that both parties were happy with. The timeline was extremely tight, particularly for such a high profile photographer with a busy schedule. Their target was to get high PR attention.

The budget included 3 other smaller but well known photographers who also created content around the same theme. We also had a gifting portion of the campaign where I sent the phones to small semi-professional photographers to create their own portraits. This was all to create buzz in the photography industry. This all had to be done beginning to end in about a month which is very tight.

The client had a hard time figuring out which products were bestsellers and how to put them in front of the right audience.

Very competitive market. Since they were an innovative startup, finding relevant search terms for SEO with satisfied search volume was challenging.

In a health conscious world of consumers switching from sugary sodas to water and teas, Mountain Dew has always found ways to grow within the category. However, despite it's growth, Dew has struggled to recruit new drinkers into the brand and specifically having difficulties recruiting multicultural targets, even with a marquee partnership with the NBA. My work as Account Director at Ten35, the Cultural Agency Of Record, helped the brand gain relevance with a revamped recruitment strategy, redefined creative target and developed the creative articulation of new strategic idea.
