The Seattle Mariners Yule Dog

The holiday Yule Log has been a seasonal slow TV staple since 1966. But for the Seattle Mariners' 2023 holiday card, we cooked up something a little different to bring a dash of summer ballpark to fans' winter wonderlands. So if you need some fresh background ambiance for your last-minute wrapping or holiday hangout, forget the crackling fireplace and cue up 60 minutes of sizzling franks, seasonal silliness, and Mariner Moose mischief. Ho-ho-hot dog!

The Yule Dog

Amazon Halo

Halo was Amazon’s first step into personal health and wellness. It was a membership that worked with wrist-worn Halo trackers, a smart sleep health device, and an app packed with science-backed tools and expert-backed guidance to help you improve your health (and better understand It).

I led all advertising and marketing assets from pre-launch of Halo’s first products through its expansion into content and sleep.

In the timeless battle to maintain your health over the holidays, Halo can be your secret weapon.

Alexa Snap Lens

Alexa can help make the transition to college easier, so we wanted to show college students that Alexa is easy and fun to use with the Amazon Echo. 17MM out of 19MM U.S. college students are on Snapchat, so we collaborated directly with Snapchat engineers to create the first Snap Lens powered by a voice assistant.

Users spent over twice as long as the industry average with the lens, and it garnered nearly 55MM impressions.

My role for this project was Creative Director. Our intrepid creative team was Kaleigh Concannon (AD) and Regina Aletto (CW).

Alexa + Bose

This film announced the partnership between Bose and Alexa and brought the power of voice control out of the home and into a world full of little moments you might miss if you are always tethered to your phone screen.

Set against the music of Canadian singer-songwriter Emilie Mover, it made the list of most Shazam’d ads in its first week on-air.
