Rossmann brought a new promotion model to television, and Suzuki introduced turbo engines through creators

At Reason & Friends, I led brand and performance marketing across retail, automotive and other national accounts. These two campaigns show the range of that agency leadership.

Rossmann entered television with a campaign built around its centaur character

The campaign sequence

The campaign introduced the Rossmann centaur in three stages: a pre-campaign film, the television commercial and a behind-the-scenes film that showed how the character was made.
