Client Projects
J.P. Morgan
PowerPoint Rebrand - 6 months
J.P. Morgan rebranded their sales and marketing materials, including 500 financial presentations, with SlideGenius' assistance. As Art Director, I managed the project and devised a unique approach for stakeholder approval before full-scale production. We began with 10 decks, collaborating closely with stakeholders to set design standards. Afterward, I expanded the team to produce the remaining decks, implementing weekly deadlines for review. Despite occasional retroactive edits, the project was successful, leading to growth opportunities and further collaboration with J.P. Morgan on additional projects and sales conferences.
MetLife
Training Webinars - 3 months
MetLife, adapting to remote work norms, sought to overhaul their presentation strategy. As their trusted partners, we collaborated to realize their vision and extended our involvement to train their sales teams. I suggested two comprehensive webinars, tailored for national and regional sales divisions. With meticulous planning alongside MetLife's marketing leadership, we refined content through mock sessions before launching the main events. The overwhelmingly positive feedback from both sessions, each with over 500 participants, led to future collaborations for similar webinars.
SlideGenius
Matrixed Design Pods - 3 months
Tasked by my COO to streamline our global team's operations, I sought a more efficient structure. Inspired by the Spotify model, I proposed a pod-based approach to distribute managerial duties and enhance workforce flexibility. While not a direct fit, this model revolutionized our reporting process, fostering employee satisfaction with frequent evaluations and facilitating project mobilization. Clients also praised the consistent output quality from dedicated teams.
