the ask

Create a digital campaign to promote a new line of products, Pillsbury’s Place & Bake Brownies.  Product, lifestyle and recipe photography was needed to round out this campaign complete with a design that fit within the brand’s existing guidelines and styles.

Art Direction

The brownies needed to look playful and easy for parents to make. The colorful liners had a dual purpose, they signified the brownie flavor profiles and gave the images punchy pops of color.

campaign design

Created a unique campaign design to promote the new products. Above is the key visual for the product family utilizing the purple color from the packaging, Pillsbury brand-approved fonts and an identifiable graphic shape to help the pieces stand out. Below are the visuals created for each flavor. To help them pop they were each assigned colors that match the packaging and muffin liners I selected for the shoot. The bold colors helped create a playful vibe to accompany the product launch.

Asset production

Assets were created for promotion on Facebook, Instagram Stories, Pinterest and site ad units. This ended up being over 100 individual assets in total that I independently produced.

Site Layout

To promote the new products on pillsbury.com I created a layout for the landing page that fit within the existing site template.
