Uncovered rare / stunning footage from indie videographers for the spot introducing Dodge's first E-Muscle Car. Negotiated the deal to include animated IP from the adult sitcom "Archer." Nice feather in the cap, that one. (Now, where did I put that cap?)

Pulled off a product placement coup - placing more than 25 brands for Marcel to interact with, along with clearing several celebrities. We even created a puzzle game for Marcel and his Nana featuring Olympic Gold Medalist Simone Biles. Putting on my producer's hat, I found an independent photographer for the image and then made the case for participation with the athlete and her management. A poignant film; a rewarding experience.
