This site is an portfolio of creative activity from 2008-2010. The projects outlined here were developed to showcase how advertising and design can link for-profit businesses together with non-profit organizations in a mutually beneficial way. They utilize a variety of advertising genres--events, direct mail, affinity, etc.--as platforms for communication. There is a specific concentration on local activism throughout the work, especially in the last three projects, which closely explore the mechanisms needed to build successful affinity marketing programs.
