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.Â
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.Â
North Plains Election
The City of North Plains, Oregon—on Portland’s western outskirts—has long faced pressure to grow despite residents wanting to preserve its small-town character. In 2023-2024, the city, backed by developers and landowners, pushed to nearly double its size. Residents fought back and won. In May 2024, they voted “No” on expansion, and in November elected four new city councilors (including a new mayor). I handled all marketing for this grassroots campaign, creating the website, yard signs, door hangers, postcards, flyers, and social media graphics. For this video commercial, I storyboarded the sequence, created all graphics, and wrote talking points for the candidates (though they had freedom to use their own words). The commercial was shot and edited by Nicholas Brown (PortlandVideographer.com). “The 4” won despite their opponents outspending them 10-to-1!Â
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.
