Executive summary

As Senior Design Director, I led creative direction and hands on execution for The Wine Group's retail media business across a broad mix of digital channels and platforms. Working directly with the client and partnering closely with media, account and production teams, I helped scale creative support across a multi brand portfolio while maintaining cohesive storytelling across Walmart Connect, Kroger Precision Marketing, CTV, programmatic display, rich media, interactive and social campaigns.

The challenge

The Wine Group required creative support across a rapidly expanding portfolio of brands, retailers, channels and campaign formats. Each platform introduced different technical requirements, audience behaviors and creative constraints, while each brand demanded its own distinct visual identity and messaging.

The challenge was delivering high volume creative at scale while ensuring every execution remained cohesive, polished and tailored to its platform.

Leadership and responsibilities

As Senior Design Director, I served as the creative lead across The Wine Group retail media business.

  • Leading creative direction across The Wine Group portfolio

  • Maintaining creative consistency across multiple retail media platforms and digital channels

  • Directing creative quality while remaining hands on in execution

  • Partnering directly with client stakeholders and brand teams

  • Mentoring and collaborating with designers Lamar Tittle and Danny Khan

  • Supporting the continued growth of the partnership through scalable creative execution

Creative execution

I led creative development across a diverse range of retail media channels, ensuring each campaign reflected its brand while adapting to the technical requirements and user behaviors of each platform. Campaign work included programmatic display, Walmart Connect, Kroger Precision Marketing, connected TV, rich media, interactive banners, and Meta and social campaigns.

Supporting multiple brands simultaneously required balancing creative consistency with platform specific execution, enabling campaigns to remain visually cohesive while optimizing for different formats and audiences.

Results and impact

From 2025 to 2026 the partnership continued to expand. Annual revenue grew 12.5% year over year in 2025, with 2026 pacing to more than double 2025, supported by always on creative across an evolving portfolio of brands and retail media programs.

  • Supported major launches across core portfolio brands including Meiomi and Cupcake Vineyards

  • Became deeply integrated into the client's ongoing retail media ecosystem

  • Built scalable creative systems enabling rapid adaptation across formats and retailers
