A mascot built
for sharing.

For over a year, I led all art direction, design, and motion graphics for ExxonMobil's North American social media presence, producing original content at a consistent twice-weekly cadence. Every post that hit the channel came through me, from concept to final asset.

Working alongside the studio behind Mr. Supremium, I extended the broadcast campaign's visual language into content built for social-first distribution. Two key partnerships shaped the highest-profile work: a NASCAR x GIPHY animated sticker library, and a vertical video series with NBA star Anthony Davis.

The NASCAR x GIPHY sticker library put Mr. Supremium directly into the hands of fans across every platform. At launch, it became the most shared NASCAR social content on record.

Selected Highlights

  • Original static social content produced in partnership with the Mr. Supremium studio, extending the broadcast campaign across social formats
  • Vertical social video series featuring Mr. Supremium, Anthony Davis, and more
  • NASCAR x GIPHY animated sticker library, the most shared NASCAR social content on record at launch
  • Ongoing channel management producing a high volume of original content across static, motion, and video formats
  • Brand partnerships with NASCAR, GIPHY, and NBA talent integrated into a cohesive social presence
