Game of Thrones
As one of the creatives I was tasked when creating a series of alternate reality style games that fed into larger marketing efforts. Some of the results included elaborate puzzle boxes, an iPad app and even a food truck catered by master chef Tom Colicchio.
Homefront
In THQ's Homefront videogame the year is 2027 and America has been conquered by North Korea. To raise awareness and gain traction we brought audiences and bloggers into the future with frighteningly realistic artifacts that placed them in the middle of America's second Revolutionary War. The result was a highly anticipated game that set new pre-order records.
Nightshade for Penguin Books
For the first book in a Young Adult trilogy I crafted a transmedia campaign that brought one of the main characters into the real world.

Shark Week for Discovery Channel
I served as creative consultant for this campaign as we steered the two-decade-old Shark Week property back to its original scare filled premise.

Pontiac’s Motorati Island in Second Life
A year long campaign that brought a real company into a virtual world. Pontiac’s Motorati Island engaged an audience as willing partners in creativity and created an iconic landmark to car culture in the online world of Second Life.
Fear 2
The storyline from this FPS horror video game came alive with the emergence of the evil corporation at the center of it all. For four months secret tests, mysterious deaths, and a full size experimental test unit built up the buzz. Of course things went horribly wrong.
