We created this Día de los Muertos social content primarily for paid units that target Spanish-speaking audiences in the Southwest and Mexico—a loyal audience for the brand and a huge opportunity for growth. Graffiti artist Kophns painted a custom Day of the Dead Ram 1500 and we captured his process (in both interview segments and timelapse) for social sharing across platforms.

The 2019 Ram 1500’s capabilities are overwhelming – it tows, it has incredible storage options and it has a touchscreen that would make Tesla blush. Showing them all, while still making it relatable, was a challenge. So, we invented driver archetypes and gave them numbers – up to 1500 – to show how it was built for every kind of driver.

Using the innovative features behind Facebook Canvas, we created a compelling game day narrative that showcases the quality and reliability of Ram Trucks, America's longest-lasting pickup truck. Fans engage in an average of 45 seconds. Each truck does a different play: The Heavy Duty Rush, the Rebel Pass, and Power Wagon Play. Ram Trucks always get the job done.

Some of my charitable freelance work for the last five years. Since 1996, Detroit’s Hotter Than July has provided one of the unique experiences in North America.

Each year state, local and national community organizations partner to enrich and empower the lives of lesbian, gay, bi and transgender (LGBT) people of African descent in Detroit and southeast Michigan.
