I'm a storyteller. It's what I do. I love finding a thought, a musing, a 'what if' and taking it further, seeing what it can do. Concepting and crafting it into a bigger, better idea. Seeking out the right photographer or director to make it a reality.
I'm a craftsman, a perfectionist, an eternal optimist. And I love the power of words.
I particularly love the power of them set to music. Which is why in my spare time you'll find me singing with my amazing a Capella 80s cover choir. Yep, it's a thing.
Projects
- 'Have you got what it takes?'Department for Education pitch. When we got invited to pitch for the DfE's new teaching campaign, our approach was clear. There's no point pretending - teaching is hard. So who better to convince you that it's worth doing than the people who need you the most? We developed a bold, brave campaign that put pupils at its heart and offered up the challenge - have you got what it takes? Sadly it didn't win us the account. But it did win us the respect of everyone in the room.
- 'Little White Lies' for L'OrealThe brief: Bring humour to hair colour. We developed a social campaign that brought to life the little white lies women tell themselves to justify their life choices, including why they colour their hair. This was quite a departure for the usually serious L'Oreal and let us experiment with a more playful approach that still looked and felt on brand.
- 'No Ordinary Hotel Collection'The brief: Create a campaign that captures the individuality of each Dorchester Collection hotel and invites visitors to do more than just 'stay somewhere'. Working with the incredible photographer Guy Aroch, we created a stunning array of images that celebrated the unique style, location and character of each iconic hotel. Evocative headlines helped visitors imagine the unforgettable experience that awaited them during their stay.
