Vogue January Digital Cover Email

Vogue tasked us with developing a non-issue-specific acquisition email aimed at prospective subscribers. The creative needed to be evergreen, capturing the full breadth of the Vogue universe. To achieve this, we curated imagery from Vogue Weddings, events, beauty, and runway, crafting a dynamic banner animation that feels both timeless and fully representative of Vogue’s diverse offerings.

Vogue App Download Campaign

Vogue commissioned us to refresh their app download campaign email, with the goal of aligning it to the newly evolved Vogue ecosystem and clearly showcasing the app’s updated benefits following its relaunch.

In close collaboration with Vogue’s marketing team, we identified four key features to spotlight: the Runway experience, the Save tab, the Shopping tab, and the newly launched Runway Genius quiz game. To capture attention from the outset, we also created a compelling, visually engaging animation for the top of the email, designed to draw readers in and set the tone for the experience that follows.

Acquisition Email
Active Subscriber Email
Newsletter Unit

The New Yorker tasked us with developing launch messaging for Shuffalo, a new daily game debuting on November 3. The goal was to drive engagement while reinforcing subscription value, using a flexible model that allowed non-subscribers to sample the most recent seven days of puzzles while reserving the full archive for subscribers.

We created a series of email and newsletter placements, including an acquisition email to drive subscriptions, a launch email to active subscribers to encourage gameplay, and a newsletter module with deep links to Shuffalo to extend reach across touchpoints.

Coach has worked on numerous collaborations with Disney. For this collaboration, Coach featured characters from One Hundred and One Dalmatians, Dumbo, and Bambi. We were tasked with creating branding that was equal parts Coach and Disney for the campaign launch. To do so, we created stickers of Disney characters using vintage-inspired Coach colors. From there, we created unique compositions with stickers around our usual branding materials.

New York Times Father’s Day Saks Ad

While at Saks, one of my responsibilities was creating ads for various print publications. For father’s day, we partnered with professional surfer Mason Barnes and his dad to create a New York Times ad that felt youthful, playful, and fresh.

Vogue September 2023 Ad Concept Design

While at Saks, I had the opportunity to help concept the branding for Fall 2023. We developed a cutout concept where models would be collaged on top of studio backgrounds in multiple poses to show the dynamic fashion of the season. Additionally, we wanted the branding to feel colorful, approachable, and carefree. 
       I helped select the final image used in this Vogue ad from our Fall 2023 photography. We decided against the cutout treatment for this ad, as it felt too distracting for the publication. Once the final image was selected, Stephanie Oliveri designed the layout to be sent to print production.
