The Spotlight Series came about due to the tremendous amount of notoriety around the Academy Award Winning movie "Spotlight". The idea was to show the incredible breath of work the Globe's Spotlight team had done beyond the Catholic church story. It's taken on the fish industry, corrupt landlords, state agencies, institutions of higher learning and social injustice.
The idea for the campaign was to use actual spotlight headlines in jarring examples of the crimes they exposed.

Between 2014-16, The Globe introduced a revamped Business section, a new political section in Capital, a new Catholic site in Crux and a campaign for bostonglobe.com. I loved doing these projects because it gave me the opportunity to showcase the symbiotic relationship between reporter and city, but more importantly it put a face to a name on the byline for the reader.
Finally, the Globe Recruitment film - although the company is no longer in South Boston, this piece is still one of my favorites.

AssetMark offered a great opportunity to advance a growing brand in a niche sector of the financial tech world. Over the past few months, in my role as Multimedia Manager and Producer, I’ve strategically aligned our product, editorial, and investment content with industry trends and best practices, exploring new media, experiential storytelling, and audio formats.

Immersed in the captivating tapestry of San Francisco's communities, including Sunnydale, Hunter's Point, Potrero Hill, and the Fillmore, my work serves as a poignant reflection of these historically significant, vibrant neighborhoods, currently grappling with unprecedented change.
In my role as Design & Content Development Director, I spearheaded the creation of a diverse range of media offerings for the YMCA, with a special focus on branded content.
"Neighborhood Stories." was originally conceived to shed light on the remarkable individuals residing in the San Francisco neighborhoods served by the YMCA, the series aimed to present a positive perspective on communities often portrayed in a negative light.

Reformatted RadioBDC Live Sessions, to be an intimate live show for up-and-coming alternative bands. We shifted the band space to a location that offered windows and natural light. One camera shoots went to two and sometimes three cameras as well as multiple lens trials. The example below is with an anamorphic lens.
The changes were met with increased views and happier bands, which often sought our sessions out to use for their own social.
Sessions found multiple sponsors including a national one, in 2015, with ATT, a package worth over 50k.
Below are other examples that reflect the interesting range of work at Boston.com and its radio station offered - including the station's first commercials, the annual Halloween bash, and the Santa Speedo Run.
In 2015
I directed, filmed and produced, “Boston People” a Boston.com multi-media interactive original content series on local Bostonians. The project also required social spots and a 30 second commercial which was based on Sesame Street’s “People in your Neighborhood”. Boston.com saw a dramatic 43% increase in readership/overall traffic during the series 3 month extent.
Also below, is Boston.com's Love Letter's homage to Wes Anderson celebrating it's 5th anniversary together.

The Boston Globe Travel Show is a weekend long travel, food, and craft beer festival in February, that brings close to 25,000 people together looking for travel deals. In 2013, I had a chance to art direct the new campaign which was based on the simple idea, that most Bostonians by mid-February are sick of the cold and the mundane and need a trip. This campaign was to be a reminder of that.
Below are my boards and copy that I presented along with the finished 30 second commercial spot. I included my secondary campaign which i was very fond of, but until now, never saw the light of day.
2014 - Citizen's Bank Summer Arts Weekend, is a week long festival of music and arts in the city of Boston. My initial work for Summer Arts was to design the logo. The following year, we built sponsored content with ArtBoston as part of the festival program.

I started my design career in sports - creating rally cards and posters, baseball cards, team souvenirs and then merchandise.
