How can Robinhood persuade people to invest in small local businesses that are suffering as a result of the pandemic?
During the initial outbreak of COVID-19, many small business owners were struggling. Robinhood created a platform that allows small business owners to get donations and funding through their local communities and tasked me with creating a branded campaign that would spread awareness of this platform, ultimately connecting small local business owners and people willing to invest in these businesses.
The Delivery
A social campaign I called “local heroes” that speaks to both audiences, small local business owners and local investors, while also giving a nod to the Robinhood brand.

The Challenge
Accenture Interactive Marketing Operations needed a refreshed brand identity to reflect its role in turning unpredictable consumer behavior into strategic opportunities. The challenge was to create a visual identity that communicated precision, agility, data-driven marketing, and customer insights.
The Insight
Great branding isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about storytelling and alignment with core business values. Modern consumers are more distracted than ever, constantly shifting between platforms, devices, and messages. Their attention is fleeting, making it harder for brands to stay relevant. To cut through the noise, marketing must be seamless, personalized, and data-driven. Accenture’s strength lies in integrating media spend, supply chain, and AI-driven insights to capture consumer attention at the right moment. The rebrand needed to reflect this reality, positioning Accenture as the leader in turning fragmented consumer behaviors into cohesive, high-impact marketing strategies.
The Delivery

A well-designed interface, compelling branding, and seamless navigation would help reinforce Skyfit’s mission—to provide a dynamic, immersive personal training experience.

The challenge:
The McDonalds team came to the POD to tell the story of ZBO (Zero Based Organization).
ZBO is a process that takes nothing for granted about an organization’s size or design. It literally imagines a company like McDonalds starting from zero and building up departments, functions and people based on real needs as opposed to organizational inertia. Done right, it has the potential to find tremendous savings.
The Insight:
McDonalds leadership had prior experience with Zero-Based projects and needed to know how Accenture was different. Accenture uses a proprietary approach that is customized to each client. We used McDonald’s expressed need for more growth and leveraged their golden arch to find a playful, yet impactful presentation.
