Sun Tracker Boats
Working as the brand manager and art director for Sun Tracker boats for 3 years, I was able to help define the look and personality of the brand.
There is nothing better than having a great time with family on the water. Sun Tracker strived to communicate this to its potential consumers. Utilizing Bright colors to symbolize joy, Sun Tracker Branding is all about family and togetherness. Using Script fonts coupled with modern san serif fonts to add a bit of playfulness the Sun Tracker boats brand need to appeal to all families. The photography incorporated the interaction between people through water sports and overall family fun. The imagery always included the brand colors and candid sincere people.
I designed everything from the brand guidelines to styling each photo on photo shoot to assure that everything aligned. After developing the guidelines, I presented the look and the do’s and don’ts to senior marketing including how these design would speak to the desired target audience. Managing a production team of up to 11, styling the models and all props I was able to execute all video and photography needs to fulfill marketing efforts.
2014
2014 was my first year working on the Sun Tracker brand and I built a complete refresh of the brand. Adding more fun and life starting with the color palette and then focusing on the overall emotion that would be captured in the imagery.

2015
In 2015 I strived to push the brand further. Transitioning the traditional brochure to a magalog. This would fill the brochure with information that would prompt the consumer to keep the book and use it as a reference for different topics. We included perfect water inflatables, boater safety, fishing tips and tricks and amazing boating destinations.
Sun Tracker boats increased sales by 13% in 2015 and also had a 24% consumer awareness increase in the market. This helped to ensure that my work to improve the brand and focus our designs on our target audience was successful.

2016
In 2016 I changed the look to incorporate capturing moments. To do this we adapted the look to incorporate rounded edge boxes implying that you were looking at photos that were in a photo album. I also added a digital and film Polaroid camera to the shoots so the talent could capture the moments from their perspective. These images were then used on social media.
