Cincinnati Bengals New Stripes Campaign feat. Aaron Conway
Aaron Conway was born and raised in the Midwest, and now he surrounds himself with creatives in his studio located in Cincinnati, Ohio. After brief forays into painting and sculpture, Aaron found his passion in photography working for national brands, companies, and organizations.
He is a passionate creative, as well as an outdoors enthusiast and a dog lover who gets a kick out of creative challenges and adapting to what he calls a wild industry. Today on My Finest Work, Aaron chats with host Maureen Harmon about a project he tackled for the Cincinnati Bengals, which included a space in need of love and care, jungle plant backdrops, and the need to sell it all to team management.
My Finest Work Podcast is a production of Dog Ear Creative and is produced by University FM.
Episode Quotes:
On collaborating with other people in the industry
26:50 - I like to surround myself with other people in the industry or just other creatives in general because I think that you get to stumble across things, like this project, you get to stumble across little opportunities by conversations, and you get to help other people as well.
Sometimes the more difficult path is the right way to go.
10:19 - “We brought them up there, and they said, 'Yes, let's do it.' We were super excited about it—like, I can't believe this. And then there was an "Oh shit” moment where we were like, "Oh. They said 'yes.' Now we have to actually do this.”
Client trust is important for a creative's success
22:15: One of the reasons why I chose this project is because I came in at the last minute. And so, I hate to say a bonus because it wasn't a bonus, but they rode off on we trust you to do what you want to do. So I think in this specific instance, we got to do whatever we wanted, and they were happy with it.
