Strategy Decks

Client: Land O’ Lakes

The Day-in-the-Life map I presented uniquely represents Land O' Lakes' key purchasers, Retiree Rob, and Dedicated Deb, whose routines align seamlessly with Simmons’s data on the target audience’s psychographics and behaviors.

By showcasing how these personas—Retiree Rob (69, male, former truck driver, $70,000 income) and Dedicated Deb (52, female, $80,000 income)—interact with the Land O’ Lakes brand in their everyday lives, I’ve illustrated new opportunities to strengthen our connection with the brand.

The personas reflect key themes of tradition, warmth, and freshness, central to Land O’ Lakes. This approach ensures that our target audience is accurately represented and that the campaign effectively captures the essence of the brand.


Client: McDonald’s

This research aimed to uncover critical insights and develop a strategy to boost McDonald's traffic from Gen Z adults (18-26), primarily full-time students and young professionals. Based on qualitative interviews and quantitative research, the strategy focuses on tapping into Gen Z's nostalgia, expanding the menu to cater to diverse dietary needs, and enhancing mobile app engagement.

This strategy is designed to re-engage Gen Z, leveraging nostalgia and modern trends to bring them back into McDonald's stores while aligning with their evolving values and needs.
