Creative Direction for Dawn McKenna Group Photography
The Dawn McKenna Group is a luxury real estate group headquartered in Chicago, IL. They are currently ranked eighth in the nation for sales volume according to the Wall Street Journal. In order to differentiate our brand, I campaigned to hire an exclusive photographer who could shoot our listings with a more editorial look as well as capturing team events and day-to-day moments for social media and advertisements. The stylistic change in photography was one of the most instrumental differentiators to the brand.
