Bio & CV
The New York Jets, an NFL team in
the league's largest market, wanted
to connect with their fans both in the
US and around the world. We
accomplished this with a thorough
digital rebrand, which had, at its core,
a revitalized Jets website.

Information that was previously static
and updated by hand (depth charts,
injury lists, rosters) was resuscitated
and made interactive, becoming both
more meaningful and easier to use. We
also created a space for the team's first
full-time online reporter.
The digital redesign extended to
all aspects of the team's marketing,
including on-air branding and title
graphics for the team's newly-launched
Jets TV property, as well as seasonal
events such as pre-season training camp.
This included the proposal of the team's
first-ever viral, "Ride the D-Train," in
which we envisioned one lucky fan
taking the ride of his life on a player-
powered tackling sled.
 Jets TV

The Jets produced programming both
on-the-air and online, and were bringing
it all together. We created Jets TV,
a digital on-demand channel with video
highlights and films. We also created
a complete motion graphics package,
to be used on TV and online.
 Ride the D-Train

In the 2006 NFL draft, the Jets signed
D'Brickashaw Ferguson, a good-natured,
310-pound, six foot six offensive tackle.
We wanted to have some fun with this,
so during training camp, a public event
where fans can meet the players,
we planned on shooting a viral where
a couch was attached to a tackling sled,
and pushed by the Brick – a kind of
amusement park ride. After the shoot,
the sled would be open for some time,
letting lucky fans actually ride it.
