Copywriting - Direct Marketing

My first job was with Citibank's N-House creative department in Jacksonville, Florida making direct mail statement stuffers fun and creative. I did the best I could, and the most I could get away with. It was a great experience working with such talented people.   
Lexus launched a new car and a local dealer asked us to help them create buzz for it (before social media.)

They sold every car allocated to them and the campaign went on to win a ton of awards. 
Working for professional sports teams is pretty fun. We did a slew of work for the Carolina Panthers that included mostly advertising (for PSLs), outdoor, and direct marketing.
