Transforming The Samsung Brand

Brand Strategy & Positioning

Brand Innovation

Creative Storytelling

I led Samsung's brand marketing, driving fandom by sharing untold stories of their surprising roles in Chilean mines, on Mount Everest, and in outer space. This is just one example of how we boosted Samsung's Interbrand ranking from #8 to #5 and increased its brand value to $62.3B.

Galaxy Note: From Work To Gaming Device

Brand Strategy & Positioning

Marketing Campaign

+2 more

The Galaxy Note was known for professionals. To appeal to younger gamers, we partnered with influencer Ninja and launched a Galaxy skin in Fortnite instead of a typical ad campaign. By offering something gamers wanted, rather than just advertising, sales in the 18-25 age bracket more than doubled.

Projects

Reintroducing Self-Driving Cars

🌱Climate Change

👨🏼‍🦼Transportation and Mobility

+6 more

Self-driving cars are the future, but many still believe they're better drivers than any tech. My team and I crafted a strategic roadmap to drive social acceptance of autonomous vehicles, focusing on building relationships with those who benefit most: cyclists, pedestrians, and senior citizens.

Projects

🫡Responsible Consumption and Production

Launch Strategy

+3 more

Jet.com reinvented e-commerce with AI warehouse optimization and a new business model. I led the development of the launch campaign “Innovating Savings,” which won the Integrated Media Grand Prix at Cannes 2017. Jet.com was acquired by Walmart in 2016 for $3.3 billion.

Founding An Innovation Lab

🫡Responsible Consumption and Production

👒Sustainable Fashion

+5 more

Blank apparel wholesaler had led the industry for 50 years, but was in need of innovation. I helped the company found and staff LAB71 from scratch, and completed five game-changing projects in under two years. This included the development and launch of their first ever DTC venture, Press Hall.

I believe in Neol

A member of the Neol Creative Leaders community

I believe too much top talent is being wasted on trivial innovation, while strong leaders are essential to shape a better future. Communities like Neol can help connect the right people with the right problems to help world-changing innovation succeed.
