With a simple three word headline and black and white line illustration, we were able to position Bentley’s as the flooring and carpet specialists who truly care about what matters most – the customer’s opinion and satisfaction.

THE BIG 12
Athletic Conference
THE BIG 12 was starting its inaugural season and looking for an image-building campaign to help unify the conference. We created this :30 TV spot that aired during the games throughout the season.

DART started as a public relations nightmare with political conflicts, excessive spending and unexpected delays – like the time they encountered a rare form of ancient sea worms while digging a tunnel for the new Light Rail system. Our approach was to give Dallas’ public transportation company a clean look and a friendly voice. We looked for every opportunity for a human-to-human connection with the community. After a few successful years DART was named “Marketer of the Year” by the American Management Association and “Agency of the Year” by the NTA.

THE IMAGE BANK wanted to be positioned as the prime source for the many marketers who felt compelled to turn Y2K into the biggest promotion of the century. We created a print ad that ran in CA, Print and Adweek, plus a Survival Kit with a CD-ROM to help our advertising friends as they struggled to beat the ultimate deadline and stand out in the onslaught of millennium themed ads.

Spider Ad
GeoProbe Ad
Inet was one of the first to develop a cellular modem small enough for laptop computers. This ad was so popular in the industry that the trade started refering to their new modem as “the spider”. We went with the flow and create a spider brand for the product when it was finally released to the market.
Inet’s feature product was Geoprobe, a monitoring system for the telecomm industry. This ad ran in all the major trade publications in an effort to entice clients like AT&T and British Telecom. Soon thereafter, BT became a member of their prestigious client list.

KATT 100.5FM
Radio
KATT 100.5FM had been successfully promoting its rock & roll radio station with the same cartoon cat for more than 20 years. In 1993, the station manager asked us to help add some spark to its image. We decided to give her a face lift, with the help of illustrator Tim Jessell, and copy that created a new attitude for the old cat. This theater slide was projected onto the AMC Theaters screens prior to the movies.
NOCONA
Boot company
As art director at Ackerman McQueen, I designed the last three ads for this Nocona Boot print campaign. At the time, my job was to simply not screw up this award-winning concept.
I helped bring the stories to life with extensive research, scouring libraries and museums, shooting reference photos on location, and by creating preliminary sketches for the illustrator, Alex Eble.

The Oklahoma City Food Bank needed a promotional campaign to help kick off their first annual BBQ cook-off – and every big event has to celebrate the life of somebody – so, in honor of our tasty little freinds, this saucy event became known as “The Festival of the Pig”.

THE UNIVERSITY OF
OKLAHOMA
Athletic Department
THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA was looking to increase the awareness of their gymnastics program and gain added support throughout a community that seemed to have little interest in anything other than football. Our objective was to present the sport from a different perspective and, at the same time, publicize upcoming events with a series of :30 TV spots.
RAZORSOFT
Game Developer
RAZORSOFT was known as a developer of video game software for teens. Oddly enough, they came to us looking to promote a plastic snow sled called the “Downhill Screamer”. We created this :30 TV spot that, for obvious reasons, only ran on MTV.
TANGO & CHA CHA’S
Dance Studio
TANGO & CHA-CHA’S ballroom studio wanted a fresh image to help distinguish them from the typical smarmy nightclub dance scene. From the logo, letterhead and building sign to the direct mail and print ads, we focussed on one universal theme: Fun. The solution combined strong contemporary colors with calligraphu reminiscent odf the early 1900‘s Latin dance era.

TEXOMA HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
Healthcare Provider
TV:
THE TEXOMA HEALTHCARE SYSTEM wanted a image campaign to position them as the number one healthcare provider within their region. We spent two days in the Texoma area shooting candid footage of real people answering a simple question: “How are you?” The resulting spots paint a warm and inviting picture of Texoma – establishing the healthcare center as a core part of the community, while communicating strategic points in a fresh and appealing way.
THE VARSITY GROUP
Sports Media
THE VARSITY GROUP created a syndicated television program commemorating the 125th Anniversary of Collegiate Football. We dug through the archives of numerous university athletic departments to find just the right images that would bring the spirit and tradition of America’s most popular college sport into the series. This short clip was developed as the opening graphic to set the stage for the 4 part documentary.
WILCO
Underground Storage Tank
Monitoring Systems
WILCO: We began from scratch, working with the Simmons Corporation to create a new name, logo for their new underground tank monitoring system. They wanted something that would make an immediate impact, build a brand for their product and instantly penetrate the market. The piece shown here was inserted into industry trade publications. It included a sound chip that was activated when the brochure was opened.
