Atmos Rewards
// “Go Further”
Great travel doesn’t live on the surface.
It lies beyond the photo ops. Past the lines.
And outside the four walls of your hotel.
To launch Atmos Rewards, the all new global
rewards program by Alaska and Hawaiian Airlines,
we set out to show just how far you can go with
the only loyalty program that takes you further.
ACD Writer and Project Lead w/ Laurel Lunsford
But wait—we didn’t just go to Tokyo, Sydney, and Rome
to just launch a rewards program. We launched a family
of credit cards too.

Alaska Airlines
// “Travel Math”
First came girl math. Then boy math. Then dog math.
The internet couldn’t stop doing the calculations—
and we saw an opportunity to join the cultural equation.
Enter: Travel Math.
This campaign builds on the viral “math” trend,
where logic meets delusion in the best way possible.
It’s all about justifying the splurge,
and with Alaska Airlines’ Visa Card perks,
travelers don’t need much convincing.

PEMCO Insurance
// “For The Love of Prevention”
We’ve all seen it before. Insurance providers who take pride in being there
for their customers only after disaster strikes.
But when you’re as passionate about protecting your members as we are,
you want to be there before things go wrong to help make sure things go right.
So what do you do when you’re passionately in love with something?
You sing about it. Or better yet, rock out to a spirited reimagining
of Joan Jett & The Blackhearts “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll.”

El Pollo Loco
// El Pollo Loco
Just like El Pollo Loco, America was founded by immigrants.
But with anti-immigrant rhetoric mounting in the United States,
we thought it was finally time to take a stance in the face of hate.
This was a proactive project I developed and wrote,
with Guicho Flores bringing it to life in the edit.

Netflix + Cupcake Vineyards
// “Love is Wine”
How do you get fans of the most talked about reality series
to talk about your product? You give them something to talk about.
Working with Cupcake Vineyards and Netflix, we created a limited-edition,
golden bottle of Cupcake Chardonnay to pair with Love Is Blind's
iconic Golden Goblets.
We then tapped some of the most loved and notorious Love is Blind alumni
to head back into the pods to meet their perfect pairing. We filmed multiple
teasers to perfectly mimic the show’s look and feel, down to every last detail,
which had fans buzzing with speculation.
But this time, instead of asking, "Is love truly blind?"
we asked "Is love truly...wine?”
