Lights! Camera! Action!!!

Welcome to the fourth edition of my portfolio! What has started out as a pandemic project has become an annual tradition of self-reflection and expression of where I am in life. Since the last revision of my portfolio, I have started a graduate programme in Global Digital Marketing, and I am part of the Jobson Optical Group, part of WebMD that publishes optical industry B2B publications. Inspired by the magazines I see every day at work, my portfolio is more than just a collection of my work products–it is the lens that shows a glimpse of how I view my professional journey.

The Artificial Intelligence Revolution

At the optical industry trade show Vision Expo West in Las Vegas, two Jobson publications, Vision Monday and the Review of Optometric Business, hosted an event entitled the Artificial Intelligence Revolution: Practical Application in Eye Care Today to a full room. The event was an exploration of application of A.I. in the industry with speakers from top healthcare companies and leading experts. I coordinated the promotional schedule and the run of show.

Eighteen×18

Yara Shahidi

“We vote for not only ourselves, but all ‘sons and daughters’ and every layer and intersection of identity. we vote for each other”

Eighteen×18 was a project by the Soze Agency, partnering with actor Yara Shahidi to drive youth civic engagement with the broader vision of cultivating relationships with Gen Z influencers using the 2018 United States Midterm Elections as a starting point. The project involved many partnerships with Tory Burch to produce VOTE merchandise, NowThis for content distribution, Eighteen×18-themed activation with Refinery29's 29Rooms and Barbie.

As the digital team lead, I was responsible for ideation, research, graphic design, copywriting, community management and influencer engagement for Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

 

The script for this video was written using Final Draft 11 in the standard screenplay format. The product team came up with the idea for a video campaign to launch the "Trees” programme. Developed through a collaboration between the political, product, video and creative teams, we went from conception to finished video in approximately two days through a waterfall project management system.

 
 

During the 2021 fundraising season, I directed a multichannel campaign sharing individual stories from program beneficiaries in recent years. I collaborated with various program teams to interview eight beneficiaries. I used their diverse stories, focusing on the DEI lens, to create content for emails, web fundraising landing pages, social media, grant proposals, and private donor appeals.

 To campaign for California S.B. 1141, I created a digital toolkit for organizations inexperienced in digital campaigning. It had social media assets, phone-banking scripts, letter-writing examples, and short-form video scripts for emerging platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels and Snapchat. The toolkit presented information in a cascading flow that increased to a more significant commitment, allowing for a range of participation from different organizations and advocates.

On September 23, Governor Gavin Newsom signed the bill into law.

Sample “Dear Colleague” letter

This form letter was written to provide educators, administrators and other higher education professionals an easy form to organize their own colleagues to further the reach of the campaign beyond Immigrants Rising’s own network.

Sample Social Videos

A vertical video sample to provide talking points and encourage others to film their own videos for mobile platforms.

Another sample vertical video that uses the frame created for the campaign.

Sample Social Media Graphics

A Call Script

This script not only makes it easier for a person to call, but it also allows them to host and organize phone banking sessions.

 
 

Chills, Thrills & Snowmobiles is the comprehensive digital campaign plan that the client requested to promote the snowmobile vacation deals package. The campaign includes email, social media, and web promotions, and it aligns with the corporate vision of developing Schroon Lake into a lifestyle destination.


The Lodge at Schroon Lake

This is the landing page wireframe created to emulate the look of the final website version made to serve as a guide for the web developer, creative team and client.

 

Booking Page

A shortened version of the landing page, this mockup was made for the packages page as a shorter adaptation of the entire package.

12/2023 Email Block

The email campaign from December 2023 was a part of the portfolio-wide "TRAVELutions" campaign, which aimed to promote travel resolutions customised for each property for the upcoming year. I incorporated the Snowmobiles Package into the campaign to highlight the vision of the Lodge at Schroon Lake an active lifestyle vacation destination.

1/2024 Email Block

The January 2024 email was themed with a romantic Valentine's Day seasonal campaign and Nat King Cole's L-O-V-E as its soundtrack. Just like the December 2023 email, the Snowmobiles Package is prominently displayed in the second block of the email.

Instagram Stories

These two stories were created to be able to run in tandem with the social posts that accompanied them or independently through the duration of the campaign (3 months).

Social media posts

This set of images focuses on the active lifestyle and the appeal of snowmobiles.

 
 

 Advertorials

Marcolin

Marcolin is an 80 year old glasses manufacturer based in Longarone, Italy, famous for its perpetual license with prestige brand TOM FORD as well as its other high profile lines such as Harley Davidson Eyewear, guess? and recently acquired Louboutin brand licenses. As part of their industry nomination as an “Ultimate Partner,” as selected by readers of 20/20 and Vision Monday, Marcolin opted to run an ad/advertorial spread. For the advertorial portion, I wrote copy based off of client notes as well as content from nominations. I coordinated with the WebMD design department to produce a high-end advertorial to complement the advertisement.

The advertorial was printed on the September issues of Vision Monday and 20/20.

Lenses by Design

Lenses by Design is a new supplement launched in 2025 to service the lens manufacturers to help them showcase their products accompanied by editorial content highlighting the various types of lenses as well as a spread of advertorials sponsored by the lens manufacturers.
