The challenge from Nixon was to create a unique campaign around their women’s watch, the Clique, complete with photography, videography, and graphic design for webpages, POP cards, in store window signs and paid media.
Traditionally a “clique” is known as an exclusive group, so our team looked to challenge that notion by making an inclusive campaign—one that represented diversity. This became the genesis for the campaign slogan, “Made for We.” The campaign depicted an authentic and diverse group of friends, each with their own style and personality to show the versatility of Nixon's watches while delivering our message of unity.
After seeing the results of the campaign, Nixon has adopted the tagline, “Made for We” as their overarching women’s brand campaign and laddered back to it's inclusive message for all women’s creative content.

For this project, I took some of my favorite albums, new and old, and reinterpreted them in my own style as a single simple illustration. Using my branding background I extended the album's ideas into a brand that could live in the real world.
