Role: Creative direction and design under the In This Together organization

Scope of Work: Personal brand positioning, strategy, identity, photography direction

Process Highlights:

  • Challenge: Trammell possesses a unique, contrasting, and defiant personality, with involvement in a diverse array of organizations.
    Solution: To define his distinct brand identity, we applied Carl Young’s 12 brand persona archetypes, positioning him as the ‘Outlaw’ archetype.

  • Challenge: Integrating a multitude of dynamic concepts, including EarthX (his organization), ranching, conservation, environmentalism, Texas, and the cowboy ethos.
    Solution: We addressed this creative challenge by incorporating these elements into the creative brief, drawing inspiration from old Westerns where the main character’s deep connection to the land paralleled his commitment to environmental causes.
