Product & Campaign.

Killer Network · Brand Launch · Qualcomm Exit

Kill faster.

Less lag. More frag.
The only network interface cards built for online gamers. Three ads, three character classes, three color-coded palettes, each escalating a verb stack into the same two-word punchline.
Zero to Qualcomm acquisition in three years.
Product marketing at its cleanest: turn technical differentiation into human motivation. The same challenge lives inside every AI, SaaS, and hardware launch today.
Traveler Guitar · Brand Platform · Registered Trademark · 15+ Years

The world’s most adventurous guitars.

A campaign system built around a promise: a Traveler goes where a regular guitar can’t. One tagline, one visual grammar, seven executions spanning subways, storm fronts, jungles, jetstreams, and the open road. Agency689 has been at the helm for a decade of steady growth.

Willie couldn’t wait to get back on it.
For 25 years Traveler Guitar has made instruments that fit in tiny spaces, play with giant sound, and let you practice, play, or record wherever the road takes you.
The line became a registered trademark. Steady year-over-year growth for a decade.
A strong product line becomes a brand system when it is elastic enough to carry campaigns, commerce, and community.
Sunset Marquis · Brand System · Agency of Record Since 2004

A hideaway with a Grammy on the nightstand.

West Hollywood’s rock-and-roll hotel. Campaigns, web, print, OOH, email, in-room, plus the sub-brands the property runs underneath: Cavatina, LIVE@SunsetMarquis, Bar 1200, the Spa, the Morrison Gallery.

The Headline · Gallery
Yes, that beautiful.
Two words and a yes. The launch ad for the renovated suites: a hotel room framed like a museum painting, witnessed by a man in a bowler hat. Room tours, annotated by Magritte.
Cavatina · Restaurant
“Beauty in simplicity.” The restaurant in its own register. Chef Luis Morales. Garden-set. Menus, web, in-room dining, and private events written so the food sounds the way it tastes.
LIVE@SunsetMarquis · Concert Series
“For those about to rock, we put you on stage.” Named, branded, and written from the first show. Year one headlined Gary Clark Jr., the season before he won his first Grammys.

Measure your journey in friends, not miles.
The line that reframes what a hostel is for. Written as the core of a full brand voice system spanning homepage, property pages, groups, offers, and city guides across four European cities.
FileKeepers · Campaign · Brand & Rebrand

Space. The File Frontier.

Records management is not a sexy category. What people wake up excited about is the empty room. So we stopped selling the service and started selling what comes after it. Four rooms. Four characters. One log entry. One line.

The Insight · Strategy
Stop selling storage. Start selling possibility.
Businesses do not hire a records management company to store their files. They hire one to get their space back. The brief changed the moment we understood that.
5% YoY increase in new clients in targeted verticals. 4% overall.
The same problem many SaaS brands face: the feature may be operational, but the buyer is looking for a more useful future. The line is the bridge.
NAVIS · B2B SaaS · Hospitality Tech

The phone is mightier than the mouse.

Bend, Oregon’s hometown hospitality powerhouse. A full-page B2B campaign that made one argument to owners and revenue managers: the call still converts. NAVIS was acquired by Revinate in 2021.

The Idea · Naming
It’s not just data. It’s what you do with it.
One ad quietly renamed the category. NAVIS reframed CRM as GRM, Guest Relationship Management, and gave a software pitch a human center of gravity. Backed by a guaranteed ROI, or your money back.
Category leader in hospitality reservation sales. Acquired by Revinate in 2021.
The argument every category is having about AI right now: automate the human, or arm the human. NAVIS picked a side, proved it with data, and built a brand on it.
