I oversee brand efforts for the Small Business Revolution (SBR). SBR is an acclaimed series, airing on Prime Video and Hulu, that’s revitalizing main streets across the country, one small business at a time. Each season the Small Business Revolution chooses one small town in America and 6 of its small businesses to revitalize its main street with a $500,000 marketing makeover and captures the transformation in an original series. I own and develop the brand for this campaign, helping to evolve the perception of Deluxe from a legacy check provider to an innovative, technology-driven supporter of small businesses and enterprise organizations. As the brand manager, I am responsible for maintaining and evolving the SBR brand through design work ranging from show artwork to display advertisements to billboards. I also serve as art and styling director for all SBR photo shoots, from show artwork to cast and product photography. In further support of the series, I develop the brands for each of the small businesses featured in the show. I am passionate about helping these businesses realize they can’t afford not to have a consistent, polished brand, no matter their size in the market.
