Some of the unique features were: 1. Icon based, 2. Pocket-sized so every person could instantly refer to it when faced with safety concerns, 3. Moisture, chemical, and rip resistant paper, making it durable in harsh work environments. Produced both company branded and generic versions in English and Spanish. The generic version was shared with others in our industry at cost. Ex: Generic- English.When the company was launching its first ERG effort (internally called PRG), we were challenged with getting speaking time at regional meetings. My solution was to create a short video titledWhat is an ERG in under 2 minutes. It delivered a standardized message and eliminated the need for representatives to travel to the branches. By allowing senior management to preview the content in advance, it instilled confidence in messaging and was aired at meetings where live presenters were previously turned down. The analytics show that each time the video played, membership increased. Ex: What is a PRG. During the first post-COVID Return-to-Work wave, I was asked to create signage for the entrances and exits of our facility. I took it much further and developed a full Safety System that could be used at all branches. This included signage, documents, a 9-part animation series (each 2-minutes or less), barriers, and other behavioral modification items. All animations were created in English and Spanish (translated with the help of a coworker). This system was considered so innovative that our print vendor (FedEx) sent corporate representatives to see it. They asked to use it in their advertising and training programs. The animation series became mandatory for all company personnel before returning to work. Ex 1: Opening Animation - English, Ex 2: FedEx Promo.When I first joined the company, I was placed next to a statistics expert that worked directly with the CEO. Using paid consultants, they created all marketing collateral. Shortly thereafter, Candidate's Name

I was asked could I take over the branding of new facilities to reduce the high costs of interior designers, graphic designers, and consultants. I became Project Manager and Graphic Designer for all signage for five new facilities. This saved the company thousands of dollars. Ex.
