PORTFOLIO OF LYNN TWISS

The Brief:

Scroll through a sampling of various works from 1994, through the present – most recently SIG Sauer and Radian Weapons.

Some have been redacted for security.

This showcases not just graphic design, video editing, SEO/SEM, brand, interactive, and traditional marketing strategies. But the results of his leadership of in-house, and agency creative teams, many of which Lynn built and mentored directly.

ROMEOZero // P365XL Campaign Concepting // 2019

At the beginning of the summer of 2019, I did my monthly, week-long trek from Oregon to New Hampshire to present to executive leadership the status of the work the President and myself were conducting for the division. These presentations were typically strategy combined with execution examples, as the work needed consensus to launch.

Leupold digital pivot, and two new websites.

There were multiple phases of the 2012 launch of the new Leupold Optics website, the largest, no one but the internal product managers and marketing teams saw – called the ARTEMIS product API that powered all product data on the website – and the other was the WordPress publicly facing website.

Kimber’s First Televised Commercial.

In 2002, Lynn conceived, scripted, and hand drew storyboards. Assisting in the direction of Kimber Mfg., Inc.’s first television commercial. The VP of Sales & Marketing had a few key elements he wanted to be covered, but after his direction, Lynn went to work.

In support of the introduction of the Augusta Shotgun, which Kimber was importing at the time.

Seen here are rough sketches with feedback, complete drawings, and inset final storyboards.
