Graham Schelter
Brand Strategist, and Creative Director
I hung out my own shingle in 2014 after a 15-year career on the agency and client side. Over my career on the agency and client side at Publics.Sapient, Weymouth Design, Patagonia, and my own agency, I have led a range of brand identity, design and marketing communications programs on behalf of multinational corporations, smaller public and private companies, investment firms, professional consulting firms, and educational and scientific institutions.
More recently I have applied this branding experience to the investment management industry. I have helped founders package and present their differentiated investment philosophies, cultures and histories.
From 2002 - 2014 I led new business and account management for Weymouth Design. During this time I led creative teams for a wide range of brand identity, investor relations, digital and video projects. Clients included: NYU Langone Medical Center, KPMG, Danaher, Merck, Harvard Business School, ViroPharma, Raytheon, Citizen's Bank, Boston Children’s Museum and startups. At the time the studio was the most award-winning annual report design studio. I joined the agency as an Account Manager on Titleist Golf digital account.
Before joining Weymouth Design, I headed up a client service team at Los Angeles-based Quisic Corporation, an online education company.
My career began at Patagonia in Ventura, CA where I rotated through a variety of roles and teams focusing on brand marketing, organizational development, quality management, and international market research.
I have a B.A. in history from Trinity College.
Expertise: executive leadership, strategic planning, campaign planning & creative direction, brand positioning, collateral (books, annual reports, sustainability and research reports), videos/ animation pre-production and direction (explainer and training), interior graphics/ artwork, awards, infographics, landing pages, internal communications & storytelling, fundraising, history, presentations/ speeches, copywriting and editing.
