Proximity + BBDO
Sr. Art Director
I started at Proximity on a freelance basis and transitioned to full-time when they were awarded the Rogers account. This account started with the typical direct mail (DM) of letter and envelope and basic email. We transformed the DM into folded experiences and story telling, which was then brought into email formats. Out-of-home and in-store signage was another exciting aspect of this account.
​
After a few years on the Rogers account I moved onto Esso/Mobile creating emails, digital ads and on-site signage.
