FRITO-LAY

In 2013 Ruffles came to BuzzFeed looking to promote their new character, Ruff McThickridge, a Ron Burgundy-esque figure with a thick '70s mustache and the sensibilities to back it up. His devil-may-care attitude and the style of the time period (as well as Frito-Lay's budget) seemed like the perfect fit for us to pitch our first original illustrated & animated projects: a series of five gif comic strips using his character and promoting the famous ruffled chip.

I worked as the creative lead on this campaign, providing creative direction on the illustrations while also scripting the comics along with two other copywriters.
