Campaign

DOORDASH | Kitchens Without Borders

From an Idea About Popular Dishes to a Nominated Campaign about Human Stories. 
 

A collection of 15 vignettes is about the immigrant experience as seen through the eyes of restaurant entrepreneurs, these stories about realizing one’s dreams are at the heart of DoorDash’s founding.

​

As Director, I challenged the original concept to look beyond the dish and to embrace the human stories, earning a "Best Video Campaign 2020" Webby Award nomination. ​

RODAN + FIELDS | Lip Plumping Oil

Established skincare brand does Lipcare.
But how?

 

Rodan + Fields launched a new skincare category in 2024: Lipcare.  Because lipcare is skincare.

 

As Associate Creative Director I was a key contributor to all aspects of this campaign, playing a pivotal role for strategy and copy development, video production and photoshoots, design, animation, visual effects, and all digital assets.

A Dermatology heritage that's
more than just lip service.

 

Lipcare means color! Part of the challenge of this campaign was balancing Rodan + Fields' derm heritage with the vibrant visuals of an inherently bold and bright lipcare line. 

​

Visually we were bold, but the science backed results were bolder. 

​

Because the healthier looking your lips, the more plump your pout!

How do you communicate that this is more than just a pretty color?
 

Early research made it clear that users were unclear about the benefits of R+F's Lip Plumping oil: does it do more than color? So I wrote this line: This is not just a lip gloss, it's color and care all in one swipe. 

​

Managing copy for this entire campaign, it became my mission to debunk that lipcare is just aesthetic.

Your lips are skin too. 

​

This is long-term lipcare, an instant plump, long lasting hydration, with hard powerful skincare ingredients, from actual dermatologists. 

​

Are we clear?

​

A Social Focus + Edutainment
 

Product education didn't stop with a launch video and zippy copy. We took to social media to educate R+F customers with EGC (employee generated content). Education, meet entertainment, better known as "edutainment".

Truly a 360 Campaign Product Launch

R+F's Lip Plumping Oil launch pulled out all the stops.  Creativity meant utilizing a broad range of technology to get it done. See the results and behind the scenes of how I used product CGI, practical visual effects, editing, and 3D printing to level up our email marketing, social media, and all of our product launch assets. ​
