Revolutionizing the Coupon in the New Millennium

Art Director | Ebates [Rakuten]

During my tenure at Ebates, I held dual roles in financial and new business marketing communications. A significant highlight was spearheading the launch of Ebates' inaugural credit card, a milestone achievement in our brand's evolution. In addition to this, I was responsible for designing marketing collateral, including posters showcased at the annual Loyalty Lounge. These materials empowered Ebates representatives to effectively communicate with clients about new and enhanced programs, ultimately driving sales growth.

Ebates Credit Card Launch

The Ebates Credit Card incorporates brand-colored plus icons to represent the multifaceted uses of the card. These icons, seamlessly integrated into the card design, serve as visual cues to highlight the diverse benefits and features available to cardholders. Whether it's earning cashback rewards on everyday purchases, accessing exclusive discounts and offers, or enjoying enhanced security features, each plus icon symbolizes a unique advantage of using the Ebates Credit Card. This strategic design not only reinforces the brand identity but also communicates the versatility and value that the card brings to consumers' financial lives.

Emails campaign development
the email campaigns I developed served as impactful mini advertisements in their own right, engaging our audience and driving conversions. In terms of branding direction, I guided Ebates towards a youthful and whimsical image, characterized by a touch of awkwardness yet underscored by intelligence and a conscientious approach to online shopping.

This distinctive brand persona resonated with our target audience, positioning Ebates as the go-to platform for savvy and discerning consumers in the digital marketplace.
