OTR Chamber of Commerce

Conceptual idea and illustration for OTR Chamber of Commerce Campaign to promote shopping in Over-the-Rhine, Cincinnati Ohio during the 2010 Holiday.

Conceptual Idea and Pitch

Using “You’re Welcome” as an invitation to come to OTR for the Holidays … as well as a bit of a cheeky response to you thanking us for ‘Lighting up the streets’… even though you haven’t said thank you yet… but probably should… You’re Welcome.

Final Result

The idea and illustration style won the pitch, which was great. As it passed through the design phase, and with input from stakeholders, illustration fully developed, and we landed on a different and maybe a bit more straight forward campaign message.
