Activated
Motion Graphics Series

Animating a national program
for a regional audience.

Activated by Brookfield Properties is a nationwide initiative designed to bring new energy, engagement, and vibrancy to office and retail properties through seasonal events, pop-ups, contests, wellness programs, surprise activations, and community-driven experiences. The original campaign concept and animations were developed on the West Coast. My role was to translate that creative direction into a functional, polished, and region-ready system for the East Coast portfolio.

The Challenge

The West Coast team delivered a series of high-energy brand animations & colorful, playful, and designed primarily for large-format screens and social media.
However, the region needed to:
• Adapt the animations into lightweight GIFs optimized for email
• Ensure consistency across a multi-month eblast campaign
• Maintain the brand’s momentum without losing its visual rhythm or identity.

Motion-to-GIF Conversion & Optimization

I re-edited the original animations, restructured frame counts, adjusted pacing, and refined color compression to ensure the GIFs loaded seamlessly in email clients — without losing quality or movement.
This included: Frame reduction without visual loss, color palette optimization, looping refinement, weight reduction for deliverability

A series of six motion graphics adapted from West Coast animations into optimized GIFs for the East Coast Activated campaign — blending technical precision, creative editing, and multi-regional collaboration.

The Outcome

The motion series became a core element of the Activated email campaign, increasing engagement through dynamic visuals that stood out inside a traditionally static communication channel.

The adapted GIFs:

boosted interaction, improved brand recognition, and helped establish Activated as a fun, energetic, and highly visible program across the region.

This project showcased not only motion design and adaptation, but also technical mastery, problem-solving, and brand stewardship across regional markets.
