The NPD Group

For NPD, I created a series of trade magazine print ads that memorably introduced “Jack,” a character who represented the “everyman” consumer. The award-winning campaign focused on the importance of knowing your customers’ shopping habits to outsmart the competition with NPD’s comprehensive information on consumer buying behavior at the market basket level.

Girl Scouts of America

What kind of cookie are you? Working with the Girl Scouts of America, I created these playful Girl Scout Cookie Quizzes in four age-appropriate levels for scouts Junior through Ambassador levels.

Corporate Promotions

Reitdesign, an award-winning design and marketing studio in NYC, wanted to deliver a memorable holiday gift promo to their clients. The focus was a retro-romantic, New York winter theme, “Get Smitten.” Warm and cuddly messages—”Squeeze Tightly,” “Neck Passionately,” and “Canoodle Daily” —are integrated throughout.

The reverse side of each tag includes an engaging paragraph of copy that cleverly ties in with each item. Reinforcing the flirtatious, vintage Manhattan mood is a city map imprinted on the inside box lid that pinpoints charming New York destinations with special relevance to each message.
