He knows how to connect with people

While working on the USA Pavilion project as part of Shanghai World Expo, a big challenge was to overcome global stereotypes of the United States. He found in his extensive research process a common view that many Americans were not polite or warm. He knew he needed to find a hook to show a different side of America that many around the world aren’t exposed to in the media. The people of the Expo host country, China, provided special inspiration as Greg took on an incredibly ambitious challenge of reintroducing Americans for the World Expo. Leading to a successful rebranding the people of the USA for millions of international visitors.

He gets involved

For the USA Pavilion Greg started with a road trip. He picked up a camera and traveled through America to develop a video to introduce the USA Pavilion’s Main Show. The concept was simple: a friendly hello from the USA. Greg got everyone from Kobe Bryant to small town grocers to greet people in a pavilion halfway around the world in their best efforts at Mandarin. The result was a smash. Viewers watched this little snapshot and had a better sense of what America is really all about.
