Strategy, creative, and the full system behind it

For the Shoe Brand Campaign - Director

In 2020, the Indianapolis Colts looked to our Creative Content and Production department to serve as the in-house creative agency for our entire brand revamp and campaign update (a feat that was previously trusted to a nationally renowned creative agency).

In addition to the brand campaign launch video and supporting creative assets, our creative strategy was straightforward: Be flexible and ready to take advantage of key moments during the season as they unfold. After a successful debut, For the Shoe continues to be the brand campaign for the Colts in 2024.

Paylocity SHRM 2026 - Creative Lead

On a crowded trade show floor, you have seconds to make an impression. Beyond our booth design, we brought Paylocity’s brand story to life through a massive LED ribbon show featuring 50+ custom animations (animation by Aaron Asbury). The result? The most visited booth at the show, measured by badge scans.

Our team also captured photo and video content on-site and turned it around in real time, extending Paylocity’s presence across social channels.

Storytelling & Original Series

Stories that build audiences and win awards

With the Next Pick - Director & Co-Creator

For three seasons, With the Next Pick gave fans an unprecedented inside look at the Indianapolis Colts process leading up to the NFL Draft.

From adapting to ever-evolving draft storylines to solving production challenges during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the creative journey of this series has been a testament to collaboration and flexibility across the organization.

Social Strategy & Audience Growth

Short-form content that earns millions of views

Over the 2 years, I started a new social channel completely from scratch and currently have 200,000+ subscribers across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. This journey has taught me an even greater understanding of how to best create high-performing content for each platform, regardless of the subject matter and niche.

Colts Cam - IG Reels & Twitter

What started as a creative solution for gathering player content during the 2020 season quickly became a mainstay in our content strategy for multiple seasons.

Using a stationary camera that players interact with during practice and after wins, Colts Cam checks the boxes as an easily repeatable format that showcases our player’s personalities.

Served as Director and Editor for the recruitment video referenced above and below:

"On the first day of free-agency, the team sent Lester a video showing the Cubs winning Game 7 of the World Series. Chicago famously hasn't won the World Series since 1908, but the team got creative: Some of imagery came from a 2012 Playstation ad. The DVD showed Wrigley Field's famous marquee with, "CUBS VS. YANKEES. GAME 7. LESTER VS. PINEDA." It also showed the fake pandemonium afterward, including celebrations on the field and media coverage from outside the stadium."
