Nick Oliver

Utilizing my creativity and passion for art and design, I handle art direction, project management and design work, including: multimedia, brand, print, sales presentations, video and photo content. I specialize in the concept and creation of motion graphics video and marketing collateral using a variety of design software to produce engaging and effective projects for clients such as: Greektown, Ford, Flagstar, Detroit Free Press, Detroit Tigers, Forgotten Harvest, Univ. of Michigan, Cadillac, etc. As a result of Implementing multiple new technologies such as virtual reality, along with several other ideas, I won the North Star Achievement Award for exceptional performance.

I became an entrepreneur to provide brand and marketing solutions to people looking for professional quality without excessive costs. I know serve over 75 clients from many industries both locally and from as far away as California. Projects include: print (including large format and banner), video editing, display ads, email, newsletters, quarterly magazine design, social media, website and full-on event marketing packages. Clients include Detroit Disc Golf, Sports Radio Detroit, Axxiss Off-Road, Sports Radio Detroit, and more.

As the main digital designer I was an responsible for creating both in house and external marketing for a variety of platforms. Video animation promotions, online ads, eblasts, slot promos, phone graphics, billboards, and much more. Create large motion graphics for concerts, displayed over 14 screens. I helped schedule and moderate our digital asset publisher Cisco Vision along with the director of A/V. I also co-ran wayfinding throughout the casino. These are large projects with very high priority. Although we worked under an art director we often directed our own projects parallel to our managers overall and corporate style guide.
