Various ad campaigns done at Crimson Hexagon. Ads were built to specifications for various social platforms.
I'll admit: I don't entirely understand APIs. I got some feedback on the engineers on how to make a somewhat representative visual of an API. I'm a sucker for gradients and sunset colors, so I was amped about getting to use copious quantities of both in these ads.

We released a guide on three main types of crises that brands can face, and how to avoid them (or what to do if the damage is done).

This was an older ad series, from 2017 (prior to the rebrand), but still an old favorite, since you can't go wrong with photos of guitars.
