OUR CAPABILITIES DECK

And Now, Drumroll…A Scroll of 9 of Our Favorite People + Projects Flying into 2023

*1 Alaine Portner Is a Powerful Psychic Presence

THE PRESENCE BEYOND

The accolades say it all about Alaine Portner, The Happy Medium, on our new branded site for this wise psychic medium. (And yes, it’s true, she’s my lil sister)

“Your site’s photos and videos are very “new age” misty. That just won’t do, since your vision is so clear,” I told her in that older sister vibe.

Sneak preview: We envisioned something more flowery + energetic, like Alaine’s personality, events, and revelations. She’s TV bound and her work around the world is growing.

YOUR GIFT.

Do we have the same kind of psychic vision as Alaine? A smidge sometimes!

We most definitely have a vision for brand stories. Videos are a special love. We’ve directed all sorts of powerful video stories, from a TV pilot during a Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week to an industry sustainability panel in the Highlands of Scotland to filming lifestyle for Europe’s CNN (n-tv), in Manhattan and the Hamptons.

See our Vimeo page of videos here.

What dream can we create with you?

*2 Freck Vreeland Is a Strategist.

A WARM PRESENCE.

Our favorite gentleman client, Freck Vreeland, a former US Ambassador and Diana Vreeland’s son, recently rocked his favorite Winter scarf in New York magazine.

He says, “I modeled my favorite scarf for @thestrategist. “Blue is my favorite color because it reminds me of the Majorelle blue of my beloved Marrakech. This was a Christmas gift from my godson, so it’s extra special.”

An intriguing cross between James Bond and Barack Obama, Diana’s son Freck is now a vibrant 95 elder with an equally fascinating life. He came to us to help with his branding, book proposal, social media, and promotion of his memoir.

We PR’d Freck, created his site, and zoomed his Instagram account from zero to 11.9K in just months (now 17K!) with posts on everything art, culture, Diana Vreeland, Cold War spies, and the doings of a pal of people like Jackie O, Mick Jagger, and Richard Branson.

Freck was also ordained a “Granfluencer,” the over-65 set that is thriving according to a recent New York Times story about a surprising set of stars that are having the time of their lives. Read more in this interview with Freck.

YOUR GIFT.

*3 DR. PEDRE COURTS THE INFLUENCERS CAMPAIGN

A HEALTHY PRESENCE.

In advance of the game-changing new book by “America’s Gut Doctor,” aka Dr. Pedre, The GutSMART Protocol, coming April 4, 2023, we are securing endorsements and brands for a gift box guaranteed to thrill influencers in the wellness and food worlds.

Our goal is to “wow!” with treats like delish gluten-free granola, master chef tools, surprises like a mini fermentation device, and of course, a hard copy of Dr. Pedre’s new book. We hope to teach people Dr. Pedre’s GutSMART habits with the contents of the Influencer Box.

YOUR GIFT.

*4 Robin Wilson Is A Wellness Brand Powerhouse

A CLEAN PRESENCE.

We were honored recently to be consulting and securing events for Robin Wilson, founder of CLEAN DESIGN HOME®, focused on the allergen-aware lifestyle. Her company is now a global lifestyle brand, sold at retailers like Macy’s and the UK-based NEXT, plus a growing list of hospitality brands.

A wellness industry pioneer since 2000, Robin was named to INC magazine’s “Top 100 Female Founders” list (2020) and speaks regularly at conferences and industry events.

For a Victoria’s Secret Black History Month employee event, we secured her spot on their panel on resilience, which will reach thousands of employees.

Even Cosmopolitan magazine raves that Robin’s bedding has the best luxury sheets, here.

*5 IONX IS FIBER MADE FROM METEORS TO HEAL AND INCREASE PERFORMANCE.

A SPACE-AGE PRESENCE.

Our success running the PR in NYC for a global launch of Speedo’s Olympic-winning Fastskin full-bodysuits, with famed Olympian Michael Phelps and teammates (as seen above in our Vanity Fair placement) turned out to reverb in 2022.

Incredibly, on a first call with the inventor of IONX — an ionized performance and prevention fiber — the start-up founder told me how he worked on Speedo’s Fastskin and admired the PR campaign… wow. What a coincidence, I was doing the PR for that!

Today we’re on the team, conceptualizing the branding, site, collateral, and PR for IONX.

YOUR GIFT.

*6 YUM! WE HUGELY GREW NUTRITIONIST JESS CORDING’S SOCIAL.

A HEALTHY PRESENCE EXPANDS.

Content, content, content.

More, more, more.

Better, better, better.

Isn’t this what everyone wants for 2023?

We are happy to report that we grew the social media for health expert Jess Cording in 2022, with an 82% increase over 2021.

You’ve seen Jess’s advice in Forbes, Prevention, Fitness, Shape, MindBodyGreen, and even on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. She is a registered dietitian, integrative nutrition health coach, podcaster, and writer with a passion for helping others simplify their wellness routine.

Did we gift her more exposure? Yes. More time for her to write her book? Yes!

YOUR GIFT.

Oh, and more content creation, too?

*7 EVOTION MEDIA FLOATS A NEW LOGO.

A VERY MOVING CINEMATIC PRESENCE.

Admiring the power of our agency symbol, film producer, Kim Jackson came to us for a major logo for her new venture, Evotion, where storytelling meets the evolution of emotion. With a request for a tight turn around we dove into those emo waters!

Thus the “e” met a watery feel with bubbles and movement, something that clearly evoked transformation in an alchemical way. Thus also the gold. Moving transformation through phenomenal film for a shift to our reality.

Peep Kim Jackson’s most recent film, a New York Times Critic’s Pick, “Down with The King,” about a rapper (played by Freddie Gibbs) who settles in the wilderness for inspiration.

YOUR GIFT.

Are you logo-adjacent?

When my agency designs a logo, we follow a desire to bring forth the love, the essence of a personality or a brand in its simplest most engaging form. It should grab attention and slowly reveal its messages.

Head to this post on “thejadedress.com” where you can have a look at some of the diverse, inspired, evocative, and moving logos we’ve designed, plus the stories behind our ecstatic logo design experiences.

*8 YOUR PRESENCE IS REQUESTED AT AN EXCLUSIVE LUXURY RETREAT.

A LUXURY PRESENCE.

With travel restricted, the Pandemic was the perfect time to conceptualize, write, and design the identity and sales brochure for our client, Luxe Club Retreats. This European-based concierge offers custom, global, and ultra-luxury healing experiences from private yacht sunbathing to out-of-this-world spaceship voyages.

YOUR GIFT.

Do you lust for full-scale CREATIVE that travels and speaks to a global audience? Our luxury experiences range from work with mass brands like American Express; heritage brands like Prada and Dior: and luxury design industry groups like Wein Products of Vienna, Austria, and Textiles Scotland.

Oh, and did we mention successes created for global wellness brands and luxury hotels?

*9 O’TIS THE PRESENCE OF OTIS UPON A LOTUS.

A GOD-LIKE DOGGO PRESENCE.

O’tis so amusing to capture characters, I love to illustrate the LOVE in all kinds of funny beings.

Meet Otis the dog. Meet O’tis upon a Lotus.

Otis is a Hoodle, a husky and standard poodle mix, a massive, magical dog with one tiny quizzical white eye who oversees my friend Betty’s incredible shop, Hawk + Floret, in the river town of Frenchtown, NJ. (just named the best small town for shopping in the country in USA Today‘s 10 Best Reader’s Choice travel awards.)

So many people love Otis that Betty and I conceived and created Otis greeting cards for holidays, birthdays, and this everyday useful greeting: Otis on a Lotus.

Otis isn’t online, he’s old-fashioned. DM his mom @hawkfloret on Instagram to buy his cards. Om Shanti!

YOUR GIFT.
