This story is a window into Serena’s soul, into a chapter so personal no one in the world knew about until today. A window’s glimpse inside Serena Williams’ life as she continually pushes past adversity and naysayers in preparation of winning her 22nd major – inspiring our generation to ‘RISE UP’ a thousand times again.

The new Beats Pill+ is a sophisticated evolution of Beats speakers. It’s sleek and refined, while maintaining Beats striking boldness. The campaign’s overall creative direction draws from the product’s own premium textures, distinguished style, and duotone white/black color palette. We entice consumers to hear the impressive sound for themselves by calling attention to the power button while the campaign headline “Turn Me On” serves as a double entendre (Beats signature edge) and a direct CTA challenging the consumer to hear differently.

In 2018, The National Aquarium completed the construction of a state-of-the-art Animal Care and Rescue Center. This “beating heart” will power future innovations of the iconic institution by setting new precedents for animal care and providing a lasting and permanent solution for rescue operations.

The location in Baltimore’s historic Jonestown neighborhood provides proximity to the main Aquarium building and an opportunity to connect with local residents through community programming and school STEM education.

Goal: Grow brand recognition. Interpret the creative spirit of the National Aquarium for a new facility focused on innovation and care. Define a palette of tools and materials that recall the history of the main institution while providing flexibility for its forward thinking mission and future endeavors.

Goal: Grow brand reputation. Collaborate with the Jonestown community; Engage local students in hands-on activities that inspire a hopeful sense of optimism.
