My director of marketing approached me in September of 2010 with a campaign idea that she wanted me to help oversee. She wanted to send a box of Harry & David pears to our top prospects and clients with a printed insert that had the messaging idea of pairing up with INFOCUS in 2011.
Initial sketch.
As we began to finalize the concept and work with Harry & David on what we could and couldn't do, I began to conceptualize what I wanted the inserts to look like. This was my initial sketch that I showed my supervisor to gain approval for this visual direction.

Event invitation.
As we were finishing the Harry & David gift campaign, we had started to plan an outreach event to local prospects. We decided to reuse the idea of pairing up with us, quite successfully.
