The American Red Cross is one of several community organizations working together to respond to disasters all over the United States and beyond. Every year, it looks for volunteers to help execute the organization’s programs. With units all over America, volunteers have the opportunity – from training to be and ready to respond to disasters to supporting a blood drive from delivering messages to our US service personnel, to connecting families displaced by disasters or conflict – to enroll. Pro bono work for the North Texas Chapter for the American Red Cross.
Brand Storytelling
Most of the time, when developing a car brand, people produce communication which plays to the rules of the market. They focus on shots of the car; power and comfort are embarrassingly mandatory; sex is often a subtext somehow. But you always keep your ears and eyes wide open. In this case, we picked up on a story from one of our account managers; his wife and child survived a horrific accident in a Mercedes-Benz. Hang on a minute, we said. Skip the rules of the market. Forget the diagram of the safety cell. Let’s get to the heart of the matter: a young girl’s life was spared. Let’s see if that can add a valuable chapter to Mercedes-Benz’s already compelling brand story. Full page newspaper ad for Sonnenberg, Murphy, Leo Burnett. Written by Mark Varder.

The identity for Le Centre L’est > Kinshasa’s hottest cultural event hotel
Francophone Kinshasa is the huge, sprawling capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is hectic, confusing and colorful, a sort of New York of Central Africa. In this vibrant city, (+6 million people) the main thing to do is to simply sniff up the atmosphere; enjoy the Congolese food like ‘foufou’ and ‘chikwange’, listen to the famous ndombolo music, dance and dive into the Congolese way of life. Le Centre L’est is a newly renovated 5-star event hotel that brings together these characteristics in 21st-Century style and sophistication. This, on ancient Congolese art inspired logo, expresses the desire to become the new cultural center within the center of the city. Full identity program for a whole range of hotel collateral and marketing materials. Silver winner at Graphis Annuals 2013.
