Dogfish Head

Our agency was tasked with crafting a comprehensive strategy to elevate Dogfish Head’s brand presence and drive purchase intent through a targeted PR program. In support of this initiative, I was responsible for designing a visually captivating proposal deck that translated Dogfish Head’s bold, off-centered, and artisanal branding into a polished, client-ready presentation.

Drawing inspiration directly from the brand’s website and packaging, I incorporated their textured backgrounds and earthy, vibrant color palette. Typography was selected to reflect the brand’s eclectic style, while the layout maintained a balance of creativity and clarity. To further bring the brand’s distinctive, handcrafted aesthetic to life, I developed AI-generated imagery and mockups that effectively visualized our ideas, turning abstract concepts into tangible, compelling visuals.
