Promotional Emails
In-Shape Health Clubs
Objective
With sales happening every week, and inboxes being flooded with promotions, it's important to create unique pieces every time and avoid the spam folder.
​
Solution
While the seasons and holidays dictate the theme, I used different animation styles, graphics, photography, and headlines to keep things interesting.

Marketing Campaigns
Happy Healthy Days 2018
In-Shape Health Clubs
Objective
A member survey showed us that people come to the gym to "be healthy" more than anything else. So I asked, what does "healthy" mean? The answer spans mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing! But as the question is posited to a fitness company during the holiday season of family dinners, encouraging proper nutrition should be the key focus.
​
Solution
A nutrition-based holiday campaign! The brand voice uses food puns and illustrations as a reminder to choose the right fuel for all the work you're putting into the gym.

Fight Cancer 2018
In-Shape Health Clubs
Objective
Fight Cancer is an annual In-Shape campaign dedicated to raising funds for cancer research. Throughout October, In-Shape members are encouraged to participate in various activities, all of which contribute to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the American Cancer Society.
​
Solution
An In-Shape Club is a community experience! We recognized the high spirits that come from recognizing a familiar face in our marketing material, therefore made it a point to feature real members' stories and experiences with the fight against cancer.
Members also fight for their prizes! The Work Out and Win: Fit Club rewards program is famous for getting people excited about fitness! I gave those progress emails a revamp to be a more cohesive and visually appealing experience.
