My Role
I led the creative direction and narrative strategy, building the framework that secured executive buy-in. Then steered the concept from development to worldwide execution, creating a high-performance system that maintained brand integrity across every market.
To ensure longevity, enablement included education, examples and templates in multiple formats and languages
Scale & Durability
We launched a cohesive visual system across eight global hubs. To move beyond a one-off campaign, I built a modular toolkit that fueled demand gen and field marketing for 24 months—ensuring the brand scaled from OOH to regional sales funnels without losing its edge.
