Patricia Cornwell is the world’s #1 bestselling crime writer with more than 100 million books sold. I’ve had the privilege to art direct several large-scale marketing campaigns for her Scarpetta novels. For Red Mist, a full 360º campaign was planned to include billboards, TV spots, digital display and print ads.

The out-of-home component featured a five-story tall Times Square billboard as well as subway and airport posters showcasing the author and her latest novel. I designed full-page newsprint ads for the New York Times and USA Today. Collaborating with a production company, a :30 second video was created for network television and digital display ads.

After a substantial ad campaign, Red Mist became an instant #1 New York Times bestseller and spent five weeks on the Hardcover Fiction bestseller list.
