Mailchimp Social Media and Video Projects
As the motion designer/video editor for Mailchimp’s “BigGameSmallAds” campaign for the 2022 Superbowl, this was a fantastic project for me. I was tasked with animating this social teaser video and collaborated with a great creative team to bring this project to life.

This video aimed to create awareness and tease the then-upcoming Superbowl campaign. After each Super Bowl commercial aired live, Mailchimp joined the conversation through Twitter by sharing a small business alternative to the big brand featured in whatever commercial was airing.

The “BigGameSmallAds” campaign consisted of live tweets from Mailchimp featuring their small business customers in creative and visual commercial interruptions.

I pieced together the storyboards, designed numerous animations, incorporated the ads, and captured video footage to bring the story to life. This required a high level of attention to detail and dedication to ensuring that the final product accurately reflected the campaign's efforts.

Overall, this project was an excellent opportunity for me to collaborate with Mailchimp’s creative team and contribute to the success of the “#BigGameSmallAds” campaign.
