This document provides biographical information and case studies for Soleyl D'Angelo, a strategic planner. It outlines her background growing up in a diverse family which fostered logical reasoning, creativity, and connection. It then presents three case studies where she developed advertising campaigns for MODA museum, Abe's dairy-free products, and Dr Pepper. Each case outlines goals, insights, challenges and consumer truths uncovered through research. Creative executions are presented for each campaign.

5. LOGIC AND REASONING
I come from a humble, yet strong, European family.
Growing up in a buoyant South American capital, I was
exposed to a multi-culturally diverse environment from the
very beginning. I was raised by two strong, independent
matriarchs, my mother and grandmother. Both were methodical
role models with a keen interest in the sciences, which taught
me the impact mathematics and reasoning have on daily life: on
the way we perceive, think, and act with the
world in us and around us. This is the main reason my first
passion was engineering.
CREATIVITY
As I grew up and my inner voices grew stronger,
I realized that even though numbers came easy to me, it was
not my true calling. Creativity and abstract thinking, specially its
ability to leapfrog over the linear thinking common to
reasoning, just felt more close to my heart. That’s why I switch
to Advertising. Changing careers midway was a tough decision,
but I’ve never felt more fulfilled.
CONNECTION
I was an only child for most of my life, and quite timid
I might say. Why is this relevant? Because in my early years
I had to choose between two paths: A. allow shyness get the
better of me, or B. step out of my comfort zone and connect
with others. I chose the latter. Saint Augustine once said,
“Friendship is essential to life. We need each other. We need
connection.” Every living thing craves connection, it’s a basic
need. I embraced this notion from those early days as I
developed a keen sense to understand and connect with
others, be it friends, coworkers, or customers.
Today, now a bit older and wiser, I find true joy in working
with others, no matter their personalities or backgrounds,
while bringing out the best out of people.

6. I have embraced different d ts
in my lifetime.
Sometimes these dots seemed
very disconnected from each other.
But now I understand that each one of them
played a critical part
to bring me where I am today!
And for that I’m grateful.
For that I’m a potentialite.

established as a youth education leader.

not just the end result.

12. BACKGROUND
ABE’s Dairy Free is a family business, created to soothe Abe’s (son of one of the owners) cravings,
who has food allergies, so they came up with a line of snacks he could eat.
Currently, ABE’s sells its product only to supermarket chains. They want to own the category and
persuade the buyers that it is a new, expanding, and lucrative branch to jump into.
CASE STUDY
GOALS
Strengthen ABE’s presence
in the non-dairy segment,
reach out and create
awareness among the
Vegan sector.
INSIGHT
We feel guilty saying no
when we can’t effectively
communicate the why,
so let’s communicate the
why in a way kids
understand best.
CHALLENGE
Abe’s is not big, yet. They
have no online presence,
and the company is limited in
terms of budgeting. We need
realistic, executable ideas.

Crowd through Social Media, packaging and alliances.
