I created an animated ad for Bridgit featuring playful airport-style visuals and SFX. The piece compared outdated spreadsheets to Bridgit Bench’s modern software, highlighting its reliability and efficiency. The ad was designed to capture attention quickly through a targeted ad (New York) while reinforcing brand positioning with humor and clarity.

I produced and edited Bridgit Bench vs Spreadsheets, a video highlighting the advantages of Bridgit’s workforce planning software over traditional spreadsheets. The project combined clear storytelling with motion graphics to showcase product features in an engaging, easy-to-digest format. It served as a key awareness asset, helping position Bridgit Bench as a modern, more efficient alternative for contractors.
