About me
Brand strategist and copywriter with experience across a range of brands, from global household names (e.g. Johnnie Walker, Domestos, De Beers, Lays/Walkers) to disruptive innovators. Key skills: brand positioning, brand identity, visual planning, innovation strategy, semiotic analysis, brand architecture, tone-of-voice, naming, copywriting, manifesto writing.
Projects
  • Tostitos: European Identity
    Tostitos: European IdentityTostitos was launching in Europe. But Pepsico knew the brand's all American identity wouldn't work for the European market, where foodieness and authenticity are key. At Bloom, I worked with our creative teams to develop an identity and tone that embraced the brand's Mexican roots, in a playful way.
  • Domestos: Identity Evolution
    Domestos: Identity EvolutionDomestos is trusted the world over for its germ-kill expertise. But the brand’s identity had become outdated. As strategy director at Bloom, I worked with our creative teams to modernise the brand's design and redefine its identity and tone-of-voice, capturing it all in a new brand book. We went on to clarify the brand’s architecture and redesign its sub-ranges.
