About me
I am a passionate, enthusiastic project director who is known for ensuring a project is done on time, on budget and on brief - which will involve process (but not in the way of progress!), flexibility, creativity and fun.

  • Nasty Surprises
    Nasty SurprisesThe Brief: With Volkswagen Fixed Price Servicing your bill won’t go up. You’ll get no ‘Nasty Surprises’. They wanted some fun content to bring this otherwise dry piece of information to life. The Solution: I wanted to add a little bit of the classic Volkswagen warmth to this fairly functional narrative. So I came up with the concept of a pastiche of a horror film, building up to (hopefully) a laugh.  Following this I wrote the scripts and followed the film through production. It has been used on the Volkswagen UK social channels as well as in showrooms across the country.
  • GTI & Underworld #PlayTheRoad
    GTI & Underworld #PlayTheRoadGTI pioneered the hot hatch car category. To promote the GTI Mk7, Volkswagen wanted to innovate again. Our solution, reinvent driving music. We wanted to create something that focused on the fun of driving, something that heightened the experience of being behind the wheel of a GTI. We recalled those serendipitous moments of driving, where the music would kick-in at the perfect time and the drive would become cinematic. That’s the feeling we wanted to recreate for the GTI driver. Driving music that was perfectly suited to how and where you drive, creating a real time composition that’s in perfect harmony with the car itself. To create the experience we recruited world-renowned musicians Underworld along with a specialist team of reactive music producers and after months of cruising and coding the result is a truly unique app that generates an original composition in real-time, with every drive.
