The moment

General Motors was looking for a new agency and new ways of working, to reaffirm its position as the top American automaker.

The pitch

Over a rigorous six-month new-business pitch, I developed core parts of the AI-centric sell that won the business and made Monks the foundation agency across GM's brands.

What I led

Creative strategy development, brand guideline revisions, competitive positioning and a new creative process. Then a full consumer-funnel assessment, with media and creative touchpoints designed for engagement and sales across Cadillac, Buick and GMC.

The result

$20MM+annual new business won, as strategy lead
