Congratulations to Erinn Carty, manager, Branding & Art Production, on being the featured speaker at the April chapter meeting of PRAM Gulf Coast. Erinn spoke to the group of public relations professionals on the rebranding efforts at Ingalls over the last few years.
A part of the Integrated Communications & Stakeholder Engagement department, Erinn established the Branding & Art Production group in 2023 as a means to bring consistency to branding efforts across Ingalls facilities.
Beyond color palettes, logos and fonts, branding brings trust, perception and emotional connection. In this role, Erinn was named Creative Director of the Year in 2024. AAF, Mississippi Gulf Coast cited creative direction as leadership in creating emotional graphics campaigns such as “Their Mission, Our Purpose,”which aims to connect the mission of our naval customer with our purpose to provide high quality, safe ships. The campaign also won awards in video and advertising categories.
Outside of work, Erinn is a member of the International Society of Caricature Artists, the National Watercolor Society, and local art associations in Pascagoula and Ocean Springs. In addition to her artwork, Erinn spends her time mentoring young adult artists, graphic designers and Girl Scout troops, helping to guide the next generation of creatives.
