One of the primary goals of the overall Spring campaign was to reach lesser engaged guests who may not be familiar with Black Beyond Measure or felt less understood by Target. For the digital hub, our goal was similar but also included the need to highlight & sell black-owned or founded brands that Target carries. We chose to highlight Maurice Harris–floral artist & co-founder of Blume and Plume coffee–and how he celebrates everyday joy. This was a multi-channel campaign and because of the corona virus pandemic, the team worked extremely close in order to execute and bring to life the experience across social, digital, and video.
My role in this campaign included:
- Provided style guide direction to other ADs. Made sure correct colors & logos were being used throughout creative placements
- Worked to make sure product featured in the video, social and external display could tie back to the digital shopping experience.
- Mocked up & wireframed digital experience.
- Worked with copy writer to ensure all copy felt inline with the overall brand and tied back to the other channels
- Created mood boards & preproduction decks for product photography
- Worked with ACD to pick our photographer to art direct product photography
- Lead design direction & co-executed final digital experience
- Lead photo selection & retouching direction
