Craig Thompson

Denver, CO

I am a passionate brand marketing/experiential creative specialist designing, strategizing and ideating big picture ideas for top tier brand clientele. I've been a part of winning numerous new business pitches and delivered full creative services in industries such as travel/lifestyle, mobile/tech, and entertainment with clients including American Express, AMEX Travel, Microsoft, Airbnb, Departures Magazine, Google and Columbia Sportswear to name a few. I led the charge on a full service experiential activation for Beverly Center grand reveal in Los Angeles, that included creating the key visual that was incorporated in print, digital, social, and environmental design while working cross functionally with senior leadership, account teams, vendors, and on-site building officials where my architectural degree comes in handy. I also met the client on-site throughout the process to ensure quality results. In 2019, I was fortunate to work on a complex production shoot that required travel to New York City for a marketing campaign with American Express and Departures magazine. During the project, I created the main look and feel, maintained the project's moving parts, and shot BTS static photography during the production that was directed by well known director Derek Kettela and highlighted a "Day in The Life" of talent Zanna Roberts Rassi who is the co-founder of MILK studios. I’m an approachable, ego-free creative who values hard work and professionalism while maintaining a sense of humor and respect. My key strengths are being highly personable with a hyper-focus on effective communication and organization while overseeing the full creative process and timelines. I am a self starter with a hands-on "can-do" attitude bringing forth solutions while working in a fast paced team environment. Proficiencies: Adobe Suite, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Microsoft Office Suite, Google+, Keynote, Microsoft Teams and Trello.
