Small Videos, Big Ideas
The success of past internal pitch videos not only led to additional work being sold but also significantly contributed to my growth as an animator and editor. Each project pushed me to refine my skills further, resulting in increasingly sophisticated and engaging videos.
My work became so successful that I was continually asked to take on more video projects, solidifying my role as a key contributor to our creative team. These efforts highlighted our team's creativity and dedication, reinforcing our reputation for delivering exceptional work and strengthening our client relationships. This period was instrumental in my professional development, providing me with invaluable experience and recognition within the industry.

Cheers All Around
MRM Detroit developed the website for Best Damn, a (in my opinion, strangely) flavored alcohol drink from Anheuser-Busch that was gaining traction and needed a strong online presence. My contributions to showing off the team’s work included motion graphics and animation, sound mixing, compositing, and editing. These roles allowed me to bring our creative vision to life, crafting videos that brought humor to highlighting the team’s creative efforts.

MRM Detroit also revamped the website for Red Robin, bringing it into the modern age with SEO-optimized menus and integrated location finding. My contributions to this project was to show it off, with motion graphics and animation, sound mixing, compositing, and editing. These roles allowed me to translate our creative vision into captivating videos that effectively highlighted the innovation and quality of our team’s work.
Year-In-Review Work Highlight Videos — MRM & Cadillac
2016 — 2017
Highlighting Brilliance
To engage our new Cadillac client hires, we developed a series of work reels that narrated the impressive body of work produced by MRM//McCann for Cadillac. These internal videos were used in presentations and pitches to new clients, helping them understand the successful relationship between the two companies and showcasing the boundary-breaking work our teams could produce. The success of these reels not only netted us additional work at the agency but also earned high praise from Tamy Harms, the Detroit office president, who cited these videos as prime examples of MRM//McCann's effectiveness in pitches.
My role in these projects included compiling footage, storyboarding, audio mixing, designing motion graphics, and executing the final edit. With the support of a talented and collaborative team, we crafted compelling narratives that highlighted our innovative approach and creative excellence. These work reels reinforced our reputation within the industry and contributed significantly to my professional growth as a video editor and motion graphics designer.
