Vanguard
This branding video for Vanguard was designed to showcase the new positioning for their Retail Investment Group. One of the core challenges was blending stock footage, existing client assets, and found family home movies into a cohesive visual narrative that conveyed warmth, authenticity, and stability.

Vanguard needed a promotional video to showcase their new planning tool for advisors. They provided an enormous After Effects file — hundreds of layers of transitions, titles, and brand animations. Once I navigated the structure, I customized the elements and built a polished piece that aligned with the new brand system.

Vanguard believes everyone deserves a fair chance at investing success and wanted to highlight this conviction with a brand video. We combined vintage photography with contemporary footage as a nod to their 1975 origins, creating a warm, timeless visual tone. This :30 piece was then cut down into two :15 spots.

Vanguard has 30 million investors — effectively 30 million owners. To celebrate them, Vanguard hosted a “Boss’ Day” event. I shaped the on‑site interviews into a series of fun, fast‑moving super‑shorts, finishing them in both 16x9 and 1x1 formats for social.
