This campaign represents one of the most challenging and rewarding episodes in my career. The NOMCVB was a client for my agency when Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005. Forced to evacuate and not able to return for nearly a month, we rolled up our sleeves to get the message out that the city was open for business as soon as things were up and running. Anchored in the line "Forever New Orleans", the campaign spoke to the resiliency and dedication of the people of NOLA and their city's proud history. One of the greatest hurdles to overcome was the perception that New Orleans was still underwater, months after it wasn't. My role on this project was as associate creative director and writer.
