Branding : W. W. Williams : Automotive & Transportation

PROBLEM: The branding materials of W. W. Williams, one of the nation’s largest industrial distribution, repair and service companies, were not separating the company from its competition.
• Quality service, a key characteristic of W. W. Williams, was not communicated in any of their marketing materials
• Advertising consisted of promotional offers and staged pictures of mechanics in front of large engines
• Website was inconsistent and listed only basic services

SOLUTION: The solution was to communicate a message of quality service done right the first time.
• “Consider it done” became the central theme — highlighting their message of service done right
• I set up a documentary-style photo shoot in Savannah, GA and Columbus, OH that captured workers in real life situations —
which visually separated Williams from its competition
• With polished photographs in hand, I enhanced their visual imagery with brushed metal and bolts. This detailing I then applied
to their entire line of branding materials: advertising, website and corporate brochure

    Reasons to Hire Me

    Three reasons you should consider me for a job:

    1. Problem Solver
    What I love most about the design process is solving problems: figuring out who a client "really" is, and not just who they say they are. I get excited about finding creative solutions to challenging problems; I appreciate good ideas regardless of application. These are several reasons why I love what I do.


    2. Experience
    I have ten years' experience working at an agency, designing everything from branding materials to advertising campaigns to websites to logos and annual reports.


    3. Attitude
    Or should I say the lack thereof,
    I enjoy working in collaborative
    creative teams. In my previous
    agency experience, I've learned
    that original ideas are purely
    starting points. Working together
    to evolve an idea makes it stronger.
