Roles: Producer, Editor
Agency: ThinkArgus

An award-winning, integrated campaign featuring the target audience speaking from experience.

Wisdom addressed driving while high as marijuana became legal in Massachusetts. The campaign spanning TV, social, and out of home stars real people (not actors) giving their unscripted thoughts on driving under the influence.

 
 

I led all aspects of production for the multi-day video shoot. I scouted talent by cold calling and running social media ads, coordinated auditions and vetted subjects with internal and external stakeholders, secured the studio space, coordinated equipment rentals, and organized a crew to film our selected cast. I was responsible for budget, timelines, and all resource utilization.

I edited two of the six TV spots that won the Wisdom campaign a Silver Telly Award in the PSA category. I was also nominated for a New England Regional Emmy Award as Producer and Editor.

The client’s research showed that our target audience doesn’t think driving while high is as problematic as driving while drunk. I suggested adding an Instagram poll to the media mix to test this in an interactive way.

I managed testing, quality control, and trafficking for all campaign assets including out-of-home, broadcast, and display ads. We even put mirror clings in the bathrooms at Fenway.
