PNEUMOVAX23 iCVA Overhaul

An iPad with labyrinthian navigation + an updated CDC recommendation = a kick-butt opportunity to streamline user experience for reps with seamless navigation between impactful interactive content modules, making for a less frantic pneumococcal vaccination presentation.

Superherostuff design

SuperHeroStuff.com Redesign

SuperHeroStuff has a robust ecosystem consisting of thousands of product, category, and hero-focused pages. As online shopping evolved from laptops to phones, the team was tasked with modernizing the structure, while also improving navigation without disrupting the website's dominant SEO rankings. After eight months of research, experimentation, and supervillains, the site was relaunched boasting an optimized mobile-first experience, intuitive navigation, and globally-improved SEO rankings.

Bringing Pharma to TikTok

AstraZeneca and Amgen recognize that their audiences are heavily active on Meta, TikTok, and Snapchat. Breaking free from clunky 16:9 TVC cutdowns being crammed into a 9:16 box, the team made major strides in developing award-winning, platform-specific content that feels natural, capitalizes on evergreen trends, and utilizes stripped-down production methods (hello iPhone!) that feels organic, honest, and engaging.

TEZSPIRE Patient Stories

The first in a series of testimonials featuring TEZSPIRE trial patients, Julie's TEZstimonial is so much more than a before and after. It is a love story made possible by medical innovation. This production offered an opportunity to maximize partnership with the launch brand's MLR team and establish a comfortability that extended across hundreds of subsequent projects.

The Hill School Rebranding

Hill had new branding, but strewn across the private boarding school's sprawling campus, thousands of print and digital pieces needed updating. Scoreboards, directional signage, banners, business documents, catalogs, websites, emails, athletic gear, spirit wear, trucks, pens, rugs, and a few dozen trashcans, the branding team left no stone unturned—except that big rock in the quad; the sucker was heavy.

Design Team: Jake Troxell, Sarah Timmons, & Will Baker

TEZSPIRE HCP Website Launch

Every time TEZSPIRE gets a PDUFA, a phoenix gets its wings...or so the legend goes! The HCP website sits as the linchpin that holds the omnichannel campaign together. The Day 0 and Day 1 website development required the flexibility of the yoga guru as the inter-agency team assembled the project in tandem with the drug's branding, brand narrative, and core visual aid.

Before the launch of TEZSPIRE, this market-shaping campaign drastically increased allergists' and pulmonologists' understanding of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and its role in influencing the downstream mediators of severe asthma.

Dr. Close Shared-Decision Making HCP Video

From seventeen-minute videos about pulmonary mucus plugs to less flemmy pieces like this one highlighting the importance of shared decision-making between HCPs and patients, there have been many unique opportunities to keep expanding TEZSPIRE's story.

HCP Speaker Series

"You down with TSLP?" "Yeah, you know me!" After the client ruled out producing ODB parody music videos, they settled on something a little more relatable for pulmonologists and allergists looking to better understand the strength of TEZSPIRE.

About Jake

The Pennsylvania-based human enjoys skateboarding on his backyard halfpipe, writing short sci-fi stories, and making his children cry (from laughing). If the man-thing pictured at the top of this page ever approaches you on the street, run away. Two-dimensional people are not to be trusted.
