My role:

The content should be audience-first, strategic, with locally fluent storytelling, that show Lenovo as a contributor to Vision 2030.
 

- Craft and develop the campaign social visuals through a visual storytelling and content mockups,  setting the looks & feel and art direction for the setups, videos and static designs
