The Drop: Creative Insights
Each week, our team crowdsourced the most interesting things we found across the internet—culture, technology, design, behavior—then layered in insights from creative, strategy, research, and digital perspectives. As the creative lead on The Drop, I helped drive the overall creative direction of this integrated series across social, digital, and emerging platforms, ensuring visual consistency and a strong editorial point of view.
Developing thought leadership
Fascinated by the intersection of people, technology, and culture, I regularly translated timely moments and audience behaviors into breakthrough visual and editorial concepts. This meant leading ideation for each installment—shaping everything from social-first teasers to longer-form thought-leadership content—while partnering closely with strategists, copywriters, and marketing teams to ensure the work laddered up to broader campaign and audience objectives.
As our team shifted to remote work, the project became a vehicle for building connection and inviting new perspectives. I collaborated across internal and external creative partners to bring each piece to life, managing multiple timelines while maintaining a high standard of design and creative excellence. I also regularly presented concepts and weekly themes to internal stakeholders and leadership, offering clear rationale behind creative decisions.
The content
Results
Producing this series pushed me to deliver quick-turn creative across multiple formats, including motion graphics, video, animation, and interactive content. I crafted design systems and motion elements that supported storytelling throughout the funnel, and applied emerging tools like Ceros to optimize production without compromising craft.
The Drop became a consistent, insight-driven content series that sparked conversation and strengthened our team’s culture of curiosity—while allowing me to stretch across creative direction, real-time content development, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
