VANTAGE BANK + JAMES NELSON

December 12, 2024

✨ James Nelson brings the whimsy ✨


Illustrator James Nelson was recently awarded an exciting new project by Vantage Bank to create their 2024 Holiday card. His illustration will be featured on a printed card as well as an animated version to be sent to the bank’s clients via email.


For this project, the client requested a design featuring seven unique bird species native to Texas, each representing a different region and location across the state. James brought the concept to life by grouping the birds together on a stylized wreath adorned with a ribbon. In the animated version, three of the birds will take flight from the wreath, adding a dynamic and engaging touch to the design.


James thoroughly enjoyed researching and learning about the colorful birds indigenous to Texas’s various cities and regions. He embraced the challenge of creating a whimsical yet sophisticated design that perfectly met the client’s vision for a one-of-a-kind holiday card.

SWENSONS DRIVE-IN + AMY MIKLER

May 20, 2026
When TRG Agency tapped Amy Mikler to shoot the Swensons campaign in Ohio, the ask was pretty specific. Make it feel real, but make it work. That's a harder brief than it sounds, because most photographers can do one or the other. Amy did both. The images came back warm and genuinely lived-in, the kind where you can't quite tell where the direction ended and the moment began, which is exactly the point. If you're building a campaign around real people doing real things and you need the images to actually land, that's Amy's territory.
