Hi there! I'm Jeffrey, and I'm passionate about imaginative storytelling through impactful, multi-channel visual solutions.

With a unique blend of agency and in-house experience, colleagues and clients recognize my willingness to collaborate, ability to decipher project briefs, strong, self-motivating work ethic and the drive to scale growth and obtain results. My background has allowed me to power such brands as Morgan Stanley, Motorola Mobility, AT&T, Verizon, HelloFresh, Absolut and Camping World.

Created first-ever U.S. Brand Guidelines system and educated all teams on importance of consistent and correct all-channel visual communications. Introduced and implemented Asana to Design and Marketing teams to structure project intake. Brought digital to forefront through landing pages, paid social and CRM campaigns. Saved roughly $300,000 in vendor costs by bringing all direct mail projects in-house. Produced mood/storyboards, then followed through with on-set art direction for photo and video shoots. Mentored and managed 5 junior designers, ensuring deliverables reflected guidelines, creative brief and brand positioning. Along with positive brand momentum, the push of the newly-developed initiatives helped propel HelloFresh into the #1 U.S. meal kit spot.

Following the same business model, HelloFresh expanded it's product offering into the wine category. I was tasked with branding the launch and maintaining the momentum by keeping a similar approach to the core cooking segment: MAKE WINE FUN. In an effort to make wine feel less intimidating, it was necessary to break down the stuffy stereotype and educate customers in a confident, casual and encouraging way. Backed by a brand people trusted, HelloFresh Wine was an instant success, offering members a monthly subscription of 6 red, white or mixed bottles.

erika cole salon & spa

Erika Cole Salon & Spa has four, full-service locations in and around Long Island, NY. The locations were featured on Season 2 of CNBC's hit reality show: The Profit.

 

A complete overhaul was done to all venues, including the salon name. Due to the extensive revamp - a new brand was quickly born. All design, advertising, and social media materials were concepted and launched as the salons reopened their doors.
