1. “Inside the Music” https://www.instagram.com/p/0dMeeGD6x2/
It was the first time an FI (financial institution) had advertised on Instagram and because TD is synonymous with supporting music (TD jazz festival, Juno awards, etc.) I ideated 2 of the 3 musical concepts. I also directed and produced all 3 video shoots. The whole process was very rapid and we had the whole thing presented, approved, produced and live within 5 business days of client approval on the 3 concepts. I was contracted by TD's experiential and integrated agency on multiple projects. 

I lead a team of both internal and external talent. The project involved managing budgets, timelines, vendors, talent, creative direction, UX/UI, design, quality control, branding standards and client advocacy as well. Each stage involved a multitude of key business decisions. As the creative lead, I had to not only wear the Creative Director’s hat but also run the production. I was accountable at every stage. Not only did all 3 videos deliver on time, both surpassed expectations and were under budget and profitable (with no post-launch adjustment needed).
