What better way to honor mothers and fathers than through a tear jerking social media campaign video?

Geoffrey Birthday Club Greeting
What better way to make a child's birthday seem special but to have Geoffrey himself call you?
Along with editing Geoffrey's phone message, this video served as landing page content for them... and as incentive for parents to sign up!

Video Game Geoffrey
This was an animation using the company mascot in a retro 8-bit style to clebrate "national game day". It was used throughout social posts.
And it peaked interest in making a full blown Geoffrey game!

Landing Page Content: "Today We Play"
This campaign was to position the brand as the authority in the market of "play".
I edited the videos, it's audio, added overlays and graphics of the DIY project content.
I illustrated and used CSS to animate the infographic content designed to push "play" as a cause.

Layaway Explainer
Some layaway plans are complex. This was designed to help explain the plan in an entertaining way, adhereing to the "drawn by a child doodle" look and feel of that year's seasonal campain.

Social Engagement
Babies"R"Us paired me with brilliant copy writers and a talented illustrator to animate real life moments in a young parent's life to create some of the most popular social posts for the brand. Here are a few in various sizes, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Unboxing Videos
Toys"R"Us positioned themselves as toy experts by haveing kids themselves unbox selected toys. I illustrated and animated overlay graphics working with a team of copywriters.
This video is 3 seperate unboxing videos, Journey Girls, Little Live Pets and NERF videos from the brand's YouTube channel.

Private Brand Illustration
What better way to dry yourself off then with an offiical Toys"R"Us beach towel!
Store Signage
Toys"R"Us brand appropriate store signage illustration for the summer months. The idea was to convey playful, childlike fun!
Media Displays!
Over the years I've done a ton of rich media displays. I've included a few here that were more than fades, wipes and slides.
The goal for these ads for Toys"R"Us were to do more than show a product, but make the product come alive, or "animate". Bringing personality to the product helped seperate this brand from others... And make an annoying banner ad fun to watch.
I've coded these myself in CSS3 with no external javascript files to load keeping the files under 100K for fast loading.
