Case studies

Marketing Meeting 2025

This multi-day forum for M Financial Group empowered financial professionals to share knowledge and shape a stronger future for its Member Firms and the clients they serve. Activities included forums, workshops, dinners, a fun run, a vendor room for insurance carriers, and social activities. I created the logo, branding, environmental graphics, swag, and print collateral, while a team of internal event professionals implemented and coordinated the event itself. 

MARKETING MEETING 2024

Inspired by little Havana and hosted in Miami, this financial conference featured an art-deco look and feel. Assets I was responsible for include: branding, environmental graphics and signage, swag, postcard, flyers, website and email mockups, menus, name badges, gift vouchers, a notebook, and a PowerPoint template. 

NATIONAL ADVISORS CONFERENCE

Hosted in Southern California by M Financial Group, the National Advisors Conference draws financial advisors from all around the country. Assets I designed include: logo, style guide, environmental graphics and signage, window and door clings, postcard, flyers, website and email mockups, menus, name badges, gift vouchers, a notebook, and a PowerPoint template. Activities included golf, synchronized swimmers, spa time, speakers, meals, and a reception.
