Bringing the collection of a single, visionary patron to the market is really telling the story of a life – travels, passions, and treasures. Valued at over $500M, the collection of retain & auction house scion Alfred Taubman, was and remains one of the largest to ever come to market. It required building a bespoke brand identity across both print publications and bold OOH marketing opporutnities, as well as launching a full suite of content assets to tell the myriad stories that the collection comprised.

As the leading global luxury & fine art auction house, Christie’s navigates high expectations for its bi-annual marquee Evening Sale auctions in New York, Hong Kong & London. These tentpole events for the brand draw press coverage and attendance of UHNW clients, and are a public barometer of the art market. In 2021, after a pandemic-induced virtual re-invention, my team was invited to transform the marquee auctions back into a premier hybrid event that catered to both in-room & online guests.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising – the defining moment of the modern gay rights movement – Sotheby’s staged a cross-category auction of fine art, manuscripts and important historical objects. The cross-functional team that spearheaded this home-grown auction decided rather than create a catalogue, it would make more sense to create a ‘zine’ that could be distributed throughout NYC.

How do you redefine an icon? That was the question that Ford encountered when they decided to push the quintesential American muscle car into a global performance machine capable of competing with Europe’s best on any track. This 14-minute documentary follows the Ford Performance team as they make good on their promise to become the first North American vehicle to break 7-minutes on the harrowing curves of the Nürburgring.

Approximately 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime and while it 99% treatable if detected early, many men fall through the gap. Ahead of National Minority Health Month, the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) challenged my team to create a suite of PSA films that pointed a spotlight on the health disparity within the field of prostate cancer and inspired men to take action.

To celebrate a renovation of the renowned Beverly Wilshire hotel, there was no better place to start than its iconic history. As two characters, a business traveler and a leisure traveler, enjoy refreshed amenities throughout the hotel – and a few near misses – the concept gently nods to the hotel’s starring role in Pretty Woman via a suite of films for in-room, online & social media.

Translating the, at times, esoteric themes behind Modern & Contemporary art into compelling content that drives commerce requires both an understanding the art historical context, but also of the makeup of the audience. Ahead of the upcoming sale of Arshile Gorky’s Charred Beloved I, 1946 from the collection of David Geffen, Christie’s needed a captivating piece of visual storytelling to hook the market. The result was one of the more visually stunning pieces of branded content to come out of the art market in recent years.
