The opportunity

The product was strong.
The story needed people.

Road Armor had an established rebrand and a new promise: “Protect What Matters.” I helped carry that direction into photography and sales materials, then developed ideas for where the brand could go next.

My focus was connecting the product to real life—family, work, and weekends—without losing the toughness that made the brand recognizable.

01 / Photography direction

Real people.
Real reasons to drive.

I proposed a lifestyle shoot to move beyond isolated product images, helped shape the brief and shot list, and coordinated with the photographer and Road Armor team.

The resulting imagery places the vehicles alongside the people, places, and everyday moments the brand wanted to speak to.

02 / Brand rollout

From the brand guide
to the sales floor.

I sourced and directed Sarah Knowles of Remarkable Visuals, managed feedback with Road Armor, and guided the existing identity across the catalog, product brochures, and pop-up banners.

03 / Proposed content series

The Daily Weld.

A recurring behind-the-scenes series that makes the people and process behind Road Armor visible—not just the finished truck.

The purpose

Give prospective buyers a closer look at the craft, while giving owners and installers useful product knowledge.

The format

One process or question per short episode: welding, powder coating, care, or installation. Pair close-up footage with an explanation from the person doing the work.

Where it runs

Short edits for Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts; fuller explainers for product pages and dealer education.

Proposed series from my pitch deck. Production would require factory access and technical review by the Road Armor team.
