O'NEILL SPRING 2018 DIGITAL MARKETING CAMPAIGN CONCEPTS

Every season I design multiple design concepts in order to gain new campaign ideas to be used throughout the season. O'Neill is a global fashion brand that requires fresh new looks for each season e.g. Spring, Summer, Fall, Holiday. This spring O'Neill is trying to go for a cleaner hip look vs the tech look that the brand has used for decades.

O'NEILL CATALOG MARKETING SPREADS

I designed these marketing spreads for use inside the 2017 product catalogs to help the sales team tell the color stories. Each garment had to be cut out within Adobe Photoshop and duplicated mimicking the stacked look of multiple garments when they we’re only shot with a single garment in the photo studio. Time consuming but worth the effort in the end.

O'NEILL 2017 SALES CATALOGS

Every season I design hundreds of pages for large product catalogs show casing the latest garments for each season. Product catalogs are the lifeblood of the O'Neill brand and referred to as "The Bible" by our sales team. O'Neill is a global fashion brand that requires fresh new looks for each season e.g. Spring, Summer, Fall, Holiday. Designing the O'Neill catalog four times a year for each season requires an extensive amount of work and attention to detail and collaboration with multiple teams. I have to work with the photo department, President, VP of Sales, Art Directors, and endless meetings and edits in order to come to a final draft that is press quality and ready for professional offset printing. This design process takes months of work and long hours and nights. This is the brands most important piece of marketing aside from digital and in store/POP.

O'NEILL 2018 SALES CATALOGS

Grit, Rugged, and Timeless was the new message conveyed.

O'NEILL NEWSLETTER CONCEPTS

These are some samples of various newsletter designs I came up with for a fresh new look. Grit, Rugged, Timeless was the theme and brand messages being conveyed.

2018 O'NEILL BOARDSHORT HANG TAG

I was tasked with designing a brand new hang tag for the all new Hyperfreak “NO-TIE-FLY” boardshort closure system that was developed in-house by one of our designers. Final design was on reflective cardstock with a pantone black over print. This hang tag will be featured on every boardshort with the patented “NO-TIE-FLY” closer system hanging in stores throughout the world for the entire 2018-2020 season and possibly even longer. It was a great honor to be tasked with designing a hang tag that would catch a customers eye on new technology within the boardshort space. The end result was a huge success considering the boardshorts have been selling really well in store.

2019 GOOGLE DISPLAY ADS

Digital Advertisements used across Google search. The idea is to create “click” worthy visual advertisements that stand out within all the noise that’s currently online. Bright colors and strategic font placement are critical elements when you’re trying to create successful results within the visual ad click space. My digital display ads always performed well within Google Analytics. This is one of my stronger areas of design considering all my digital marketing experience over the years.

Art Direction: Deke Angel / Graphic-Design: CJ Smith


Social Media Ads

I designed these ads to be used across Google’s search. Each was used in a Google “Pay-Per-Click” campaign or through paid Social Media advertising.
