The challenge behind this Lexus ad was to target a minority audience, in my case the Asian-American community. The resulting image evolved from the highly valued virtue of respect in this culture, while maintaining the high status and quality that Lexus is associated with.

Hot Tamales
70% of all advertising is for packaged goods. Here is a general campaign for Hot Tamales. There was no creative brief, thus no specific target audience, or tagline that needed to be in place. My original campaign 'Raise the alarm' stemmed from the fiery hot flavor of the cinnamon candies. Take a look. Click on image to zoom and read the body copy.

Ver de Noche
In the Spring semester of 2010, I worked at a marketing agency called Ver de Noche in Buenos Aires, Argentina as well as studied at la Universidad de Austral. Though I wont bore you with the details of every unbelievably awesome moment of that time period of my life (seeing as I blogged my stories via www.katiegoestoargentina.tumblr.com I like the 'Perito Moreno' entry) I will show you what I worked on while at Ver de Noche that includes a monthly newsletter, as well as work for clients including Johnson & Johnson and Nescafé.
In regards to Johnson & Johnson, our objective was to come up with a strategy that would increase the public's awareness of Johnson & Johnson's corporate responsibility, and to integrate that objective with an incentive to reward their loyal customers. Our creative brief (in English and Spanish) is below. Please keep in mind that this was due at the end of the internship and therefore weren't around to execute our suggested campaign.
