Slalom is a purpose-led, global business, and technology consulting company that helps companies tackle their most ambitious projects and build new capabilities. I joined Slalom to help lead a brand refresh—one that was optimistic, colorful, approachable, and friendly to better reflect the company’s people-first approach to work and life. This updated visual identity included an accessible color palette (adheres to WCAG standards), refreshed typography, stationary suite (print and digital), and a creative library filled with vibrant photography, custom illustrations, icons, and countless new design elements and templates (including Powerpoint and Canva assets). I’m proud that all assets were created by an amazing team of in-house creatives, out-sourcing only video and photography as needed.

Everybody loves some good swag! Colorful bus wraps and illustrated products highlight the brand’s friendly and approachable vibe.
Shortly after the re-brand, we launched a brand awareness campaign. This included billboards, bus stop ads, organic social, and paid ads.
Slalom’s first solutions-based campaign centered on the benefits of AI-enabled organizations. This campaign was created in an aggressive 5-week sprint. Deliverables included a custom landing page, organic and paid social content, thought leadership report, and campaign-themed articles with corresponding charts and graphics. Landing page views exceeded benchmark and in the first three weeks of launch drove 88 new leads and over 700 page views.
“Impossible? That was yesterday.” was a 6-month campaign focusing on the transformative power of generative AI. Using the text-to-image generative AI tool, Midjourney, we created vibrantly colored fantastical workspaces that represent the unleashed potential of individuals empowered by AI. The images straddle the line between the possible and the impossible and highlight many of Slalom’s core industries like life sciences, media and communications, financial services, etc.. The campaign came to life in paid ads, social, thought leadership, and even conference booths. Promotional assets resulted in $19M influenced sales, 6X marketing ROI; 1M+ impressions across social media; 44 local events and 6 executive roundtables with 97 clients. Thought leadership resulted in 1K+ readers.
