Charles Bignell is a multi-award winning VR experience, with a demonstrated history of working on above-the-line and below-the-belt insults. He likes to refer to himself in the third person the vast majority of the time, whether he’s out-of-home, inside-a-home, or cross-with-platforms.
When Charles isn’t creating a consistent, unified experience for his customers, he is Staying Humble at one of London’s many innovation *Hubs. Over the past year, Charles has canned Lions at BMB, VCCP, AKQA, ADD, and TCP, so you can be sure that he’ll have localised his ducks by EOD.
In Campaign Magazine’s recent article entitled ‘Top 10 Talkability Drivers and Why’, when asked about Charles, Elon Must said “It means he gets results, you stupid chief!”. Needless to say, Charles owes a great deal of his success to his finely tuned daily routine. He reads such titles as Anthony Robbins’ “Unlimited Power”, “Unleash the Power Within”, and “Power Tools? Big Whoop” daily, and that’s just before breakfast. Breakfast typically consists of organic reach, and the yolks of 30 eggs.

- Netflix - Terms & ConditionsVisiting foreign countries and seeing things we wouldn’t normally see, takes us out of our comfort zones. Netflix provides you with the emotional insurance to watch films that take you all over the world. These are films that contain ideas in their rawest form, so you may see and feel things you may have never felt before. Don’t say we didn’t warn you. Watch with care.
- Sky - The Midwich CuckoosMidwich is a quiet commuter town where nothing much happens. That is, until the twilight hours of a late summer’s day, when everyone within a set area of the town falls unconscious. The curious incident seems temporary and those affected regain consciousness, but every woman of child-bearing age inside the zone has suddenly and inexplicably fallen pregnant. As the children of the phenomenon grow, it becomes clear they are not of this world.
- Jeep - Technology vs NatureWe are living in an increasingly digitised world. New technologies are being developed in order to replicate a whole array of different experiences. But, it’s these very technologies that are distancing us from the human experience. The experience that stimulates the senses and makes us feel alive.
- Land Rover - #WEDEALINREALLandrover were sponsors of the 2015 Rugby World Cup. Whilst at M&C Saatchi we created work based around their #wedealinreal campaign. We decided to take the biggest names in world rugby, to the worlds smallest rugby club. The roles were reversed, Johnny Wilkinson ran on with the kicking tee, Sir Clive Woodward gave the team talk. Other Landrover ambassadors helped out. Aiming to celebrate grassroots rugby and the people that play the game.

- Liverpool Narcos - Key ArtCreative concept and art direction for the Sky Documentaries miniseries Liverpool Narcos. We wanted to show the corrupting influence of the drugs trade on one of the UK's most iconic cities. So we took the symbol of Liverpool, the Liver bird, and sculpted out of cocaine with help from the 3D studio Territory. Rising from a pile of powder, beautifully fragile and crumbling but nonetheless defiant, Liverpool's identity stands strong in spite of its challenges.
