Elegance in Every Detail
Brand identity, ad copy and social media for OTS Motors.
OTS Motors is a newly launched luxury automobile broker-ship. I was inspired by the charm of vintage print car ads and channeled that sensibility through sharp copy and elegant design.
Since launching the brand this year, OTS Motors has reached revenue in the multi-millions. Playing a role in their success has been a rewarding experience.

Brand identity, ad copy and social media for OTS Motors.
We started by gathering requirements from the OTS Motors team with short surveys and interviews.
We asked questions like, “If you could get any celebrity to endorse OTS, who would it be? Why?” (They answered: “Ralph Lauren. Effortless taste, pretty timeless and unfussy,” btw.)
Once we had an understanding of their vision, we developed three creative directions complete with mock type, logos, copy, design treatment. Our concepts were:
1) Clean Classic
2) Bold Luxury
3) Industrial Sport Future

We presented our proposal and noted which elements resonated with the team and which spurred new ideas for the final vision.
We iterated, merged concepts, and cut what wasn’t working. I further developed the marketing concepts and the details related to the brand identity, such as a slogan, social media captions and voice/tone guidelines for consistent presentation across channels.
