The Margulies Collection Campaign

This campaign was designed to promote an event hosted at The Warehouse, an art studio owned by renowned collector Martin Z. Margulies. The event—a coffee social paired with a viewing of Margulies’ newest collection—aimed to attract attendees who appreciate both fine art and community experiences. The campaign included a series of Instagram posts and stories to provide key event details while visually appealing to art and coffee enthusiasts. In addition to social media content, supporting materials such as a blog post, story pitch email, and press release were developed to broaden outreach and reinforce the campaign’s messaging. One of the key challenges during the creative process was maintaining visual cohesion across all campaign materials. Early drafts featured inconsistent typefaces and a mix of photographic and illustrated content, which created a disjointed look. Through the design process, the importance of stylistic consistency became clear. The final posts strike a balance—visually cohesive yet individually distinctive enough to stand out in users' social feeds and maintain interest across multiple touchpoints. A major insight gained from this project involved the challenge of fitting a substantial amount of information into limited visual space without overwhelming the viewer. Achieving clarity while preserving blank space required careful attention to layout and content hierarchy. This experience reinforced the value of strategic visual design, particularly the balance between informative content and clean presentation, to maintain both aesthetic appeal and readability. Extensive research was conducted to inform both the tone and structure of the campaign. This included studying Martin Z. Margulies’ background, his contributions to the contemporary art world, and the history and mission of The Warehouse as a cultural venue. Additionally, prior events hosted at The Warehouse were reviewed to understand their typical audience, messaging strategies, and visual branding.
