MassArt Art Museum

Integrated Awareness Campaign

I led the creative direction, and design for the MassArt Art Museum's latest campaign— “World-class. Bite-sized.”, a campaign that reframed MAAM as a spontaneous, pressure-free way to experience contemporary art in Boston.

World-Class. Bite-Sized.
MAAM is a museum you can experience in under half an hour and the campaign needed to feel just as immediate. Bold headlines, striking artwork, and sharp copy removed the pressure of a traditional museum outing, positioning contemporary art as something approachable and easy to exploreeven on a busy day.
A simple framework guided every execution: world-class art paired with bite-sized language. Short, punchy lines like "World-class Art. Bite-sized", "Contemporary Art. 22-minute visit", and "Big ideas. Small commitment", communicated the idea instantly and made the museum feel accessible to anyone passing by.

This campaign appeared across outdoor placements, transit ads, social media, and digital platforms such as Spotifymeeting students, tourists, and culturally curious Bostonians where they are, in everyday moments across the city. Subway placements captured commuters when a quick cultural stop felt possible, while social ads reinforced the idea that contemporary art didnt require a full afternoon, just curiosity and a few minutes.

The result helped reposition MAAM as the spontaneous cultural stop rather than a traditional museum visit.

When a project needs to make big moves and scale wide, I like to work with dream teams to take it to the next level.
