CASE STUDY
Event Campaigns
I led the comprehensive marketing campaign for the Salvation Army Kroc Center annual Bubble Fun 5K from 2023-2025. The goal was to drive community participation and brand awareness
I developed the Bubble Fun 5K Run’s visual identity—including a custom logo and full suite of digital ads to be used in a multi-channel campaign. Through email, SMS texting, and traditional media (billboard, TV, and radio), I ensured a consistent brand experience that helped to reach registration goals.

Logo
The Salvation Army Kroc Center had corporate crocodile illustrations that are to be used in marketing. I used one of the provided illustrations of the crocodile running and added the Kroc logo on his shirt, bubbles, and the text to create the event logo.
