| My return to Michigan seemed to some, inevitable. And right off the bat, it was developing and conceptualizing a reveal site for the new 2009 Lincoln MKS (Awesome vehicle, by the way...) The site is a wonderful combination of CG, video and Flash animation (courtesy of my "old" friends at BLITZ Agency). Winning Site of the Day from the FWA for November 29, 2007 has made it clear to me: I'm back to shoveling snow... | Responsibilities: Creative Direction |

| The concept was simple. Get a message out there that GE's TV spots contained "secret content" and if the audience managed to TiVo or PVR the commercials, they could see it frame by frame. As Jen Walsh, GE's Global Digital Media Director said, It was "another way to engage consumers." And it continues to pay off. Elli, the elephant's My Space page, part of the campaign, continues to draw admirers and fans. | Responsibilities: Creative Direction Design |

| "Build it and they will come." But in this "Flash Field of Dreams", the phrase droned on more like, "Build it in 6 weeks and they will come." And they do. When Adobe wanted to celebrate Flash's 10 year anniversary (I still consider it a Macromedia product), they approached BLITZ Agency to develop an out of this world, timeline based site that could document historical sites as well as act a a repository for users to nominate significant Flash sites. | Responsibilities: Creative Direction/Mgmt Design |

| Imagination Theater is a site that showcased the human imagination and the immense power it has in providing solutions - large and small. Featuring 4 short films, Imagination Theater was part of the larger and successful Ecomaginaton campaign. It continues on to include more content that supported GE's "human side". | Responsibilities: Creative Direction Design |

| The truck client wanted to create a site that made this clear: The Ford F-150 was in every way, a superior truck to any other out there and the evidence was here to prove it. A pre-cursor to the current campaign Ford has with the Ford Challenge, the Truth About Trucks showed that F word meant something and that the competition should be afraid...very afraid. It became Ford's smoking gun. | Responsibilities: Creative Direction |

| This microsite was the one that started it all. Ford was going to have its largest launch for a new vehicle to date and the F-150 needed a website that was going to be just as "revolutionary" as the vehicle design. As Shane Mielke of 2Advanced put it, "There's nothing like having a little" Pocket Titus" on your website to make a big statement." The video production of this site helped Shane write a book on it. | Responsibilities: |

| " Ken, you have no budget. No, you can't have any new photography.Ok, you can send someone (designer Barry Cole) to go up there with a videocamera, but why? You want what? No. Whatever you end up with, it better kick ass." My favorite moment? The opening shot of the beast coming around the bend and the fade out from the vehicle's wake from the dusty road. Little did anyone know that Barry was "falling" victim to gravity with camera in hand, taping that shot and landing on his tush.. So yeah, it kicked some "ass". Thanks, Barry. | Responsibilities: Creative Direction |

| Before Oracle took the steam out of the "little company that could", PeopleSoft allowed their Communications Lab to take on the "little" task of producing the annual report for the internet using a fairly new technology called Flash. I produced the animation and design along with designer Karla Wong, and developers Chris Pickett and Lisa Kawahara. Now, that was a "dream team" before anyone knew what dream teams were all about. | Responsibilities: Creative Direction Design Flash Animation |
