Strike Gently Co
Building a repeatable content system for a U.S. apparel brand
- Brand:
- Strike Gently Co.
- Industry:
- Apparel / Streetwear
- Market:
- United States
- Service:
- Content Strategy, Monthly Planning, Competitor Research, Audience Analysis, Growth Roadmap
Background
Strike Gently Co. had a strong visual identity and a loyal niche audience, but content
direction was inconsistent. Growth depended heavily on occasional high-performing
posts rather than a system the team could repeat every month.
The challenge
- No clear content structure
- Posting felt reactive, not intentional
- Hard to identify which content actually supported traffic and sales
- Competitors were gaining attention with simpler, more consistent formats
Our approach
We built a practical content strategy focused on clarity and sustainability.
- defined content pillars tied to brand identity and buyer intent
- created a realistic monthly plan aligned with drops and restocks
- studied competitor formats to identify gaps, not copy
- analyzed engagement and traffic behavior to refine direction
- mapped a phased growth roadmap instead of chasing viralityp
The performance
After implementing a structured content plan, the brand experienced:
- 2–3× improvement in average post engagement within the first few months
- more consistent weekly reach, reducing reliance on one-off viral posts
- increase in profile visits and website clicks from content-led traffic
- improved internal workflow, making content planning faster and easier
Rather than chasing trends, the focus shifted to steady, predictable growth.
Before this, we were mostly posting on instinct.
The strategy gave us clarity. We finally knew what content to focus on and how to plan ahead without overthinking every post.”
“Planning content became much easier. We stopped guessing and started repeating what actually worked.”

Bringing clarity and growth to a U.S. event services brand
- Brand:
- Forbes Functions
- Industry:
- Event Planning / Services
- Market:
- United States
- Service:
- Content Strategy, Monthly Planning, Competitor Research, Audience Analysis, Growth Roadmap
Background
Forbes Functions is a U.S.-based event planning business offering premium, curated
experiences. While their work quality was high, their content did not clearly
communicate value or guide potential clients toward inquiry.
The challenge
- Feed looked good but lacked intention
- Content acted more like a gallery than a strategy
- Audience growth was slow and inconsistent
- Social traffic rarely translated into website interest
Our approach
We shifted the content focus from visuals alone to value-driven storytelling.
- repositioned content to educate before selling
- introduced weekly content themes to simplify planning
- researched competitors to identify messaging gaps
- refined audience targeting and tone
- built a roadmap connecting content to inquiry behavior
The performance
Following the strategy rollout, the brand saw:
- stronger engagement quality, with more saves, comments, and DMs
- clearer audience alignment, attracting users more likely to inquire
- increase in website visits from social content
- improved consistency without increasing posting frequency
Content started supporting the business, not just filling the feed.
“We had good visuals, but no direction.
This helped us understand what to post and why. Everything started feeling more intentional.”
“The biggest difference was clarity. Content stopped feeling random and started supporting real business goals.”

Beam
Bringing clarity and growth to a U.S. event services brand
- Brand:
- Beam
- Industry:
- Wellness / Consumer
- Market:
- United States
- Service:
- Scripts, Founder Content, Product Videos, UGC-style Content, Remote Shoots
The situation
Beam already had good products and a clear brand voice.
What was missing was content that felt easy, both to create and to
consume.
Some videos felt too polished.
Others felt unscripted but unclear.
There wasn’t one consistent direction tying everything together.
What we focused on
Scripts
Instead of “reading lines,” we wrote loose talking points.
Short. Conversational. Something a founder could actually say without sounding rehearsed.
Founder content
We structured videos around:
- daily routines
- why the product exists
- simple explanations, not selling
The goal wasn’t authority.
It was familiarity.
Product videos
We kept things simple:
- real usage
- natural lighting
- everyday context
The product didn’t need to be explained twice.
UGC-style content
Phone-shot, first-person, casual delivery.
Content that blended into the feed instead of stopping it with polish.
Production setup
Everything was shot remotely using clear direction and references.
No heavy crews. No complicated setups.
How it performed
Once the new content direction was in place:
- videos held attention longer than before
- founder-led clips felt more watchable and less “ad-like”
- product videos became easier to reuse across channels
- overall engagement felt more consistent, not spiky
Nothing dramatic.
Just steady improvement and fewer misses.
“This felt more like us.
We weren’t trying to sound impressive, just clear.”
“Recording stopped feeling stressful.
We knew what to say and when to stop.”

- Brand:
- Native Pet
- Industry:
- Pet Care / Consumer Products
- Market:
- United States
- Service:
- Product Videos, UGC-style Content, Remote Direction
The situation
Native Pet’s audience cared about trust more than polish.
People wanted to understand the product quickly and see how it fit into real
life.
Highly produced ads weren’t helping.
They felt distant.
What we focused on
Scripts
Simple structure:
- what problem this solves
- how it’s used
- what changes over time
No big claims.
Just everyday language.
Product videos
We showed:
- real pets
- real homes
- real routines
Nothing staged.
UGC-style content
Creators were guided, not controlled.
We focused on tone and message, not perfect delivery.
Remote workflow
All content was created remotely with:
- short briefs
- visual references
- clear boundaries
- overall engagement felt more consistent, not spiky
This kept output steady without slowing anyone down.
How it performed
After switching to this approach:
- content felt easier to watch and understand
- people stayed longer instead of skipping early
- product benefits landed faster
- creative fatigue reduced over time
The content didn’t shout.
It explained.
“It stopped feeling like advertising.
It felt closer to how customers actually talk.”
“Remote shoots saved time, but the content still felt intentional.”

Forward Dental
Bringing clarity and growth to a U.S. event services brand
- Brand:
- Forward Dental
- Industry:
- Healthcare Services
- Market:
- United States
- Channel:
- Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram)
- Scope:
- Meta Ads, Creative Testing, Full Funnel Setup
Background
Forward Dental relied on Meta Ads as a primary channel for appointment inquiries. While leads were coming in, performance fluctuated significantly from week to week, making it difficult to forecast demand or scale with confidence.
The ad account had grown over time without a clear structure, which limited
visibility into what was driving results.
The Challenge
- Inconsistent lead volume
- Rising cost variability
- Overlapping campaigns and unclear testing
- Limited insight into creative performance
Strategy & Execution
Account restructuring
Campaigns were consolidated and reorganized around clear objectives. Testing and scaling were separated to ensure results could be evaluated accurately.
Creative testing framework
We introduced controlled creative testing, isolating variables such as:
- problem-first vs service-first messaging
- static vs short-form video
- clinician-led vs clinic-led visuals
Funnel optimization
Traffic was directed to focused service pages with:
- simplified messaging
- reduced friction
- clear appointment request flow
- Light retargeting supported high-intent visitors who did not convert initially.
Outcome
Within the first 60–90 days:
- Cost per inquiry decreased by 22–28%
- Weekly lead volume stabilized within a ±10% variance
- Top creatives maintained effectiveness 30–40% longer before fatigue
- Appointment requests increased without increasing overall ad spend
Paid acquisition shifted from reactive management to a predictable, operationally reliable system.
“Once the structure was cleaned up, everything became easier to understand.”
“Consistency mattered more than spikes, and this finally delivered that.”

- Industry:
- SaaS / Remote Collaboration
- Market:
- United States
- Channel:
- Google Ads (Search)
- Scope:
- Google Ads, Keyword Strategy, Conversion Tracking, Funnel Alignment
Background
Teamflow had consistent search demand, but Google Ads performance lacked efficiency.
Spend was spread across broad keywords that attracted interest but did not consistently convert into qualified trial users.
The Challenge
- High spend on low-intent searches
- Inconsistent trial sign-ups
- Ad copy misaligned with search intent
- Landing pages not matched to user expectations
Strategy & Execution
Keyword intent mapping
Campaigns were rebuilt around search intent:
- decision-stage and solution-aware keywords
- clear separation of branded vs non-branded searches
- reduction of exploratory, low-conversion terms
Ad copy refinement
Ads were rewritten to closely reflect user search language and qualify clicks upfront, reducing unproductive traffic.
Landing page alignment
Traffic was routed to pages that directly addressed the query context, minimizing friction and clarifying next steps.
Outcome
After restructuring:
- Non-converting spend reduced by approximately 25%
- Trial conversion rate increased by 18–24%
- Lead quality improved, with more demo-ready users
- Month-to-month performance variance narrowed significantly
Google Ads became a reliable demand-capture channel rather than an experimental cost center.
“The conversations changed. People already understood what we did.”
“Search finally felt predictable instead of uncertain.”

- Channel:
- TikTok Ads
- Scope:
- TikTok Ads, Creative Testing, Full Funnel Setup
Background
Kinship wanted to explore TikTok Ads without relying on trends or overproduced creative.
The priority was learning what content formats actually resonated with
TikTok audiences while maintaining brand integrity.
The Challenge
- Uncertainty around TikTok creative direction
- Inconsistent early-stage results
- Risk of budget waste during testing
- Difficulty identifying winning formats
Strategy & Execution
Creative-first testing
TikTok was treated as a creative platform first. Testing focused on:
- opening hooks (first 2 seconds)
- UGC-style vs branded delivery
- product-in-use demonstrations
- tone and pacing variations
Simplified funnel
Traffic was sent to fast-loading product pages with minimal copy, ensuring clarity without friction.
Iterative optimization
Winning creatives were refined incrementally rather than replaced, allowing learnings to compound over time.
Outcome
Across multiple testing cycles:
- Scroll-stop rate improved by 35–45%
- Average video watch time increased by 20–30%
- Cost per click decreased by 15–22%
- TikTok Ads evolved from testing into a repeatable acquisition channel
The brand gained clarity on what consistently worked on the platform.
“Once we stopped forcing polished ads, performance became clearer.”
“The testing process helped us learn quickly without overspending.”

Diamond Foods
- Agency:
- Media.Monks (Amazon Ads Partner)
- Role:
- Creative Technologist & AI Imaging Lead
- Deliverables:
- Generative AI Visual Systems, Motion-Optimized Ad Creative, Full-Funnel Asset Library
The Challenge
Premium nuts competing in the snack aisle noise. Diamond of California needed to own the “gourmet healthy snack” positioning on Amazon, but traditional product photography was too slow and expensive to test multiple lifestyle angles. The real constraint: create high-converting visual narratives at the speed of e-commerce, without sacrificing the brand’s artisanal premium feel.
The Execution
We didn’t just run ads, we engineered a visual production pipeline that outpaced traditional photography.
Generative AI Imagery at Scale
Built a proprietary AI imaging workflow to generate contextual lifestyle visuals (walnuts cascading over Himalayan pink salt crystals, dark chocolate shards in moody lighting) that matched Diamond’s premium aesthetic. These weren’t generic stock composites—they were brand-trained generative models that maintained consistent lighting, shadow behavior, and texture fidelity across hundreds of variant ads.
Motion-First Creative Strategy
Designed animated ad units specifically for Amazon’s ecosystem: • Sponsored Brand Video: 6-second loopable motion graphics highlighting texture contrast (crunch visualization through particle sims) • DSP Display Motion: Subtle parallax product rotations for retargeting banners that reduced banner blindness • A+ Content Modules: Cinematic short-form video loops for product detail pages, optimized for mobile autoplay silence
Automation Meets Artistry
Integrated Amazon Ads API with creative versioning engines. Instead of static A/B tests, we deployed dynamic creative optimization—where motion graphic templates auto-populated with AI-generated hero images based on real-time performance data, creating a self-evolving visual funnel.
Key Visuals
The Crystal Pour:
AI-generated macro shot of salt crystals framing walnut halves (used in 47% higher CTR variant)
The Dark Chocolate Dip:
Generative composite of salted dark chocolate walnuts with cinematic depth of field

Bank Of America
Bank of America (Commercial Banking)
- Role:
- Motion Designer & Video Editor
- Deliverables:
- Product Walkthrough Film, UI/UX Animation System, Social Asset Suite
The Challenge
ommercial banking runs on precision, but it’s often buried in legacy complexity. The CashPro® check deposit feature needed to feel less like enterprise software and more like a competitive advantage, shifting the narrative from “manual paperwork” to “100,000 checks processed with a tap.” The visual hurdle: making backend banking infrastructure feel immediate, mobile, and remarkably simple without losing the institutional trust that BofA commands.
The Execution
We architected a visual language that treats financial efficiency as a design feature.
UI Choreography
Designed a seamless motion system connecting physical hardware (high-volume blue scanners) with digital interfaces. Rather than static screen recordings, we created cinematic UI animations, camera movements that glide through the CashPro® interface, highlighting touch targets with purposeful magnification and fluid state transitions. The “Capture → Add Info → Submit” flow became a rhythmic three-act structure, with each step marked by satisfying micro-interactions that telegraph speed and security.
Split-Screen Synchronization
Utilized dynamic split-screen compositions to collapse time and space, showing mobile deposits and scanner workflows simultaneously without visual confusion. The divide wasn't just functional; it was graphic, using Bank of America’s signature red as a visual anchor that bridges both workflows, reinforcing platform unity.
Data Visualization as Motion Graphics
Transformed abstract capacity metrics (“100,000 checks monthly”) into tangible visual weight. Animated infographics using circular radial wipes and kinetic typography that count up with momentum, making enterprise scale feel visceral rather than statistical.
The Human Interface
Intercut clean UI motion with lifestyle footage graded in cool, professional tones—business owners interacting with tablets in natural light. The contrast between warm human moments and sleek digital precision created a trust matrix: technology serves people, not the other way around.
Key Visuals
The Scanner Blue:
Cinematic product shots of the high-volume scanner with animated light bars indicating processing speed
The Flow State:
Continuous take animation moving from mobile capture to desktop confirmation, showing ecosystem connectivity
The Capacity Counter:
Motion graphics animation of "100,000" deconstructing into individual check icons, then reassembling into a growth chart

McDonalds
McDonalds
- Role:
- 2D Animator & Motion Designer
- Deliverables:
- Kinetic Brand Tutorial, In-Store Digital Display Series, Social Cut-Downs
The Challenge
A feature-rich app means nothing if the redemption moment feels like homework. McDonald’s needed to collapse the gap between “download” and “enjoy,” teaching users to navigate QR code redemption across three distinct physical touchpoints (kiosks, counters, drive-thrus) without creating three separate videos. The constraint: 90 seconds to eliminate anxiety about the 3-minute redemption window, ensuring users felt empowered rather than pressured.
The Execution
We designed a modular motion ecosystem where vector-based brand worlds adapt seamlessly
from vertical social feeds to horizontal in-store displays.
Character-Driven UX Choreography
Created a cast of streamlined 2D characters that serve as audience surrogates — moving through stylized McDonald’s environments with rubber-hose animation energy that nods to brand heritage while maintaining modern UI clarity. These characters don’t just use the app; they embody the speed of the experience, transitioning from confused to delighted in synchronized beats with the interface animations.
The Interface as Character
Treated the mobile UI as a primary animation subject rather than an overlay. Screens slide in with elastic easing, QR codes expand with satisfying haptic-style bounces, and the critical 90-second countdown timer pulses with chromatic intensity (brand red shifting to urgency orange)—turning time pressure into visual excitement rather than stress.
Omnichannel Visual Logic
Engineered split-screen compositions that behave like triptychs: kiosk, counter, and drive-thru scenarios share the frame simultaneously, unified by Golden Arches color blocking. The animation timing is synchronized across all three channels, allowing the single master edit to work as:
Vertical social: Focused on mobile UI with cropped character vignettes
Horizontal in-store: Full triptych view for queue-line displays
Square displays: Centered compositions for kiosk-endcap screens
Sonic Brand Integration
Designed audio-reactive motion graphics where the satisfying “ding” of successful redemption triggers starburst animations and checkmark flourishes—creating Pavlovian positive reinforcement around the brand’s app experience.
Key Visuals
The Triptych:
Three-panel split-screen showing parallel redemption paths, unified by continuous background vectors that flow across the divide
The QR Bloom:
Explosive radial animation of the QR code scanning moment, with particle effects mimicking digital confetti
The Timer Pulse:
Kinetic typography counting down the 3-minute window with increasing visual momentum (scale + color shifts)
Character Arc:
Transformation sequence showing a user moving from "app hesitant" to "deal redeemed" through fluid morphing transitions

Coca Cola
Coca Cola
- Role:
- Lead 3D Artist & Motion Designer
- Deliverables:
- Cinematic Product Reveal, Social Asset Suite, Animated Brand Toolkit
The Challenge
Coke Zero lives in the dark, literally. The brief demanded a sensory-heavy reveal that communicated “ice-cold boldness” while battling the visual flatness of a black can against black. We needed to make viewers feel the chill before they even tasted it, transforming a simple product shot into a thirst-inducing cinematic moment.
The Execution
Instead of fighting the darkness, we weaponized it. High-contrast rim lighting carved the can out of negative space, letting specular highlights do the storytelling, every bead of condensation became a reflective landmark.
The hero moment came through fluid dynamics: a custom-engineered splash simulation built in X-Particles that matched Coke Zero’s specific viscosity and carbonation behavior. Not generic water—this liquid had bite. We paired macro-photographic texturing (brushed aluminum pull-tabs, label micro-fiber) with slow-motion liquid choreography that built tension, releasing into a rapid-fire logo animation that hit like the first sip.
Key Visuals
The Silhouette:
Edge-lighting techniques that turned the can into a sculptural object
The Splash:
Procedural fluid simulation with 8-million particle count
The Sweat:
Custom condensation shaders reacting to virtual temperature differentials
The Reveal:

- Role:
- 3D Artist & Motion Designer
- Deliverables:
- 15-Second Vertical/Square Social Spot, Cutdown Variants (6s, 10s)
The Challenge
The Air Max 97 is a heritage icon—bullet-train inspired lines from 1997 that could easily feel archival rather than urgent. The brief demanded a visual language that respects the silhouette’s history while hijacking Gen-Z’s attention spans: make visible air technology feel like sci-fi hardware, not sportswear specs. All in fifteen seconds, vertical format, thumb-stopping.
The Execution
We treated the shoe as architecture in motion, deconstructing its layers to reveal the machinery of style.
Procedural Deconstruction
Engineered a 3D rig where the Air Max 97’s upper and sole unit violently separate along the weld lines, suspend in zero gravity, then magnetically snap back with ballistic force. This wasn’t just a exploded-view diagram; it was kinetic sculpture showing how the layers work while creating ASMR-level satisfaction. The metallic silver upper was shaded with anisotropic reflections that catch light like liquid mercury during the separation.
Viscous Transitions
Designed custom liquid simulation streams in teal and Safety Orange that flow along the shoe’s signature wave lines, not water, but something denser and more alien, suggesting compressed air made visible. These fluids collide with glitch artifacts (datamoshed frame blending) that bridge cuts, making the shoe appear to phase in and out of digital existence.
Beat-Matched Violence
The edit is locked to a trap-influenced soundtrack where every kick drum triggers a visual impact: the shoe rotates 90 degrees on the snare, glitch spikes on the hi-hat, typography explodes on the drop. The pacing respects the 15-second constraint by treating it as a limitation of physics, maximum information density with zero fat.
Attitude Typography
"KISS MY AIRS" doesn’t just appear; it assaults the frame. Custom kinetic type treatment with chromatic aberration and scan-line distortion that mirrors the shoe’s glitch aesthetic. The text interacts with the 3D space, letters pass behind the shoe’s heel tab, grounding the graphic in the product’s reality.
Key Visuals
The Autopsy:
The separation moment where sole and upper hang suspended, visible air unit glowing from within
The Mercury Flow:
Teal and orange liquid streams navigating the 97’s valleys and ridges like racing stripes made of water.
The Rim Fire:
Extreme close-ups with harsh rim lighting that turns the metallic upper into a mirror of its environment
The Drop:
Typography collision on frame 12, where "KISS MY AIRS" impacts with 3D camera shake and sub-bass visual distortion.

Hyundai
Hyundai Motorsport / Hyundai N Performance
- Role:
- Lead Creative & Picture Editor
- Deliverables:
- Cinematic Brand Film (76s), Social Teaser Package (6s/15s/30s), Launch Asset Toolkit
The Challenge
Hyundai built its empire on reliability warranties, not podium finishes. The N Line launch needed to violently reframe that perception—transferring Motorsport credibility (TCR championship DNA) to dealership floors without alienating the daily driver. The core tension: how do you make a front-wheel-drive sedan feel like a race car without lying? The answer had to live in the edit, in the sensory bridge between professional violence and consumer accessibility.
The Execution
We architected a transfer-of-power narrative, using Gabriele Tarquini not as a spokesman, but as a medium.
The Possession Edit
Cutting protocol: zero static shots in the first 30 seconds. The film opens with Tarquini’s eyes in extreme close-up—reflected track lines in the iris—then explodes into staccato montage: piston firing sequences, tire smoke blooming at 120fps, gear shifts treated as percussion instruments. The pace creates somatic anxiety; viewers don’t watch the speed, they feel it through temporal compression.
Sonic Transference
Sound design as storytelling engine: we isolated the TCR car’s raw intake roar and wove it into the Elantra N’s idle sequence. As Tarquini blips the throttle in the race car, the cut lands on the production vehicle’s exhaust note—suggesting the spirit has migrated. No voiceover needed; the engine harmonics do the translation.
The Garage as Birth Canal
The reveal sequence was choreographed like a horror film jump-scare in reverse. The garage door lifts in slow motion (anamorphic flare blooming across the lens), revealing the camouflage-wrapped Elantra N backlit by sodium vapor. The camera doesn’t race to the car; it creeps, building dread and desire simultaneously. The camouflage wrap pulses with projected racing stripes—digital ghost of the TCR livery bleeding onto the production body.
Tactile Macro-Cinema
Intercutting the velocity with extreme mechanical intimacy: sweat on Tarquini’s knuckles, carbon fiber weave under fingernail lighting, the specific click-pattern of the sequential gearbox. These haptic details ground the fantasy in motorsport reality.
Key Visuals
The Iris Reflection:
100mm macro of Tarquini’s eye with mirrored track geometry, transitioning to POV windshield view via match-cut
The Drift Geometry:
i30 N TCR mid-corner, tire smoke forming perfect aerodynamic vectors behind the rear wing
The Shift Percussion:
Rapid-fire editing between Tarquini’s heel-toe technique and the Elantra N’s metal pedals—rhythmic cutting that suggests shared DNA
The Birth:
Garage door lifting to reveal Elantra N, camouflage wrap catching light like wet asphalt, first engine start shattering the silence

Kim Klacik for Congress
Kim Klacik Congressional Campaign
- Role:
- Political Video Editor & Motion Designer
- Deliverables:
- 30-Second Broadcast/Social Spot, Cut-Downs (15s, 6s), B-Roll Asset Library
The Challenge
Political ads thrive on either nostalgia or outrage—rarely both. This campaign needed to visually reconcile Baltimore’s industrial past with its distressed present, while proposing a future tense. The constraint: establish immediate credibility for a fresh candidate in 30 seconds, navigate sensitive urban imagery without exploiting it, and make municipal finance ($20B accountability) visually urgent rather than abstract.
The Execution
We designed a visual argument that functions as a proof-of-concept, not just a complaint.
Direct-to-Camera Authenticity
The edit prioritizes Klacik’s direct address as the narrative spine—cutting between her unflinching close-ups and environmental B-roll to create a personal indictment. The pacing here is conversational but relentless: no pauses longer than 0.8 seconds, creating a sense of breathless urgency that mirrors the campaign’s "time is running out" messaging.
Juxtaposition as Rhetoric
Color theory meets political symbolism: the edit aggressively contrasts the candidate’s saturated crimson against desaturated urban decay—grayscale concrete, rusted steel, boarded row houses. This isn’t subtle grading; it’s visual algebra: vibrancy = change, decay = status quo. The red becomes a beacon in the wreckage, edited to appear during verbs of action ("revive," "reinvest") and vanish during moments of critique.
Data Visualization with Teeth
Motion graphics transform bureaucratic outrage into visual stakes. The "$20 Billion Missing" sequence uses animated question marks burned into aerial satellite footage—not as decoration, but as accusation. Typography is bold, sans-serif, with a slight chromatic aberration suggesting corruption/instability. The future-port visualization employs subtle parallax and volumetric lighting to make infrastructure feel tangible rather than promissory.
The Three-Beat Structure
The edit is syncopated to a three-act rhythm (Revive/Reinvest/Reclaim), each marked by distinct visual language:
- Decay (slow-motion demolition, empty warehouses)
- Contrast (Klacik’s red silhouette against gray)
- Ascension (CGI port cranes rising, time-lapse construction)
Sonic Urgency
Sound design bridges the cuts: industrial ambient (distant foghorns, chain-link fences rattling) colliding with percussive hits on each motion graphic reveal, creating a soundtrack of friction and momentum.
Key Visuals
The Beacon:
Medium shot of Klacik in crimson against a collapsed warehouse wall, color-graded so the red pops 40% above the luminance of the background
The Ghost Money:
