MICROSOFT EVENTS
I am the on-point Creative Director, Art Director, Visual Designer and Executive Presentation Designer for many Microsoft live, hybrid and recorded events.
My direct responsibilities involve understanding the events core audience, products, marketing objectives, and developing the entire event visual identity which creates a cohesive branded audience experience.
Direct services provided:
Creative lead in concepting visual design direction, visual identity and production of entire event brand systems that inspire excitement, create brand loyalty and strategic brand enthusiasm.
Working with top tier executives, track content owners, account leads, project managers and sponsors to conceptualize, design and produce highly customized executive keynotes and breakout sessions aligned to the event branding.
Organizing, tracking, and approval of multiple deliverables in often tight timelines with overlapping priorities.
Results - Each successive year, these events have outpaced the prior in engagement, positive poll results and desire to participate.
Events span a vast list of branding end-point deliverables that must be coordinated, aligned and produced seamlessly to create an elevated audience experience.

Below is a small collection of event branding. The majority of event branding projects required design and development of the full host of design applications as shown in the Microsoft Surface Champ Summit example above. This collection shows my diversity of customization, adaptation across varied audience and market positioning.
