Keith has worked with the following brands in a prominent, client-facing role across tech, entertainment, government, and culture.
“I always felt a huge sense of trust knowing Keith was leading the creative direction of our projects.
His ideas were consistently fresh, fun, smart, and perfectly on brand. He brings such a thoughtful mix of creativity, organization, and process to every project, making the work feel effortless even when it’s complex.
Whenever Keith was involved, I knew the final product would be the most creative and polished version of what we imagined.”
“We were working with Keith to produce a high fidelity, animated video for a technical product. Keith immediately understood the vision, provided clear guidelines and timelines for us, and was extremely responsive!
We were not easy customers – the script and visuals had several last minute edits that Keith was able to work with the animators etc to accommodate and as a result, the final product came out better than we envisioned. I am grateful to have gotten to work with Keith on such a high visibility project.”
“Keith worked with us on our TikTok: Year in Music Campaign. He came in with a really clear point of view, which made everything feel focused from the start. He knew what mattered creatively, but was also super realistic about brand guidelines, timelines and constraints, which made the whole process feel steady and well-run.
Keith and the Vidico team understand how TikTok works and bring a calm, solutions-first energy that makes big projects feel manageable.”
“Working with Keith was one of the best parts of the project.
What I appreciated the most was his ability to refine the narratives with clever and creative problem solving.
Keith is a dependable and experienced creative pro who can forecast how conceptual ideas will unfold in the later stages of any project and then guide an entire creative team towards a successful deliverable.”
“Keith’s creative expertise and guidance were instrumental throughout the project.
His ability to quickly understand and turn the intricacies of our audience intelligence platform into a compelling visual story ensured the new branding came to life.
I look forward to working with Keith again soon.”
“I’ve really enjoyed working with Keith, he’s awesome.
Whatever he comes up with, it ends up being a revelation for us in one way or another – even if we don’t end up using it, we end up learning from him.”
