Adidas / NBA
NBA All-Star Weekend

Porsche - PDMS
Dealer Ad Planner
Carmichael Lynch / 2006-2007
OVERVIEW
Local Porsche dealerships needed a way to create rich media for local ad placements. Porsche needed a way to make sure all the ad creative was on-brand and up to date. This prototype was developed to bring the two worlds together. The agency (Carmichael Lynch) could upload approved creative into the ad planner, and then the local dealerships could assemble their media plans from the catalogue of existing creative and customize each placement. Upon agency approval, the creative assets and implementation instructions were automatically sent to the media reps at the placement sites.
MY INVOLVEMENT
I designed and developed the core of the prototype and worked with the internal Porsche team as well as the client to gather requirements and determine how best to meet everyone's needs. I also programmed the prototype itself and built the database. In later phases of development I managed a development vendor to implement some additional features, as well as designing the Flash framework that allowed the banners to display local dealer information.
