About me
I have 15+ years of experience as Designer and Creative.
I have been freelancing for 10 years following 5 years at Neville Brody's Research Studios. More recently I have been shifting to Advertising and currently work at Viacom as Creative Director for the in house international integrated agency across MTV (primarily) and Nickelodeon.
I am looking to further my career in a creative shop where my design background would be seen as a plus.
Love technology, sports and fashion. Love working on "ideas" as well as being involved in determinining compelling 'executions'.
I would like to work as a creative, cross media, regardless of the technique, whether the product of this idea would be a film, a poster, an app, an installation, a marketing stunt, a website, a show, or a combination of these and more.
Projects
- Meridian Audio AutomotiveAs part of Meridian Audio Automotive latest campaign I was commissioned to write and direct a commercial that would be used both online as well as an "in car" Demo for the whole Jaguar and Land Rover vehicle ranges. The video launched Tuesday the 10th December 2013 on the Meridian website https://www.meridian-audio.com/en/campaigns/jlr/
- Paco Rabanne CampaignAs Creative Director for Viacom Advertising Sales and Brand Solutions I worked closely with Paco Rabanne in Paris to devise their 2014 International Campaign. The prelude to the campaign was Paco Rabanne setting up #BLACKXSRECORDS® and partnering up with MTV to search new musical talent. Kickstarted by a Competition spot, 5 bands amongst hundreds across the globe were voted by web users and a jury. Winning prize for the five shortlisted was to record an album in Belgium, available here. London born Guy Ivory was awarded the first prize: to get a music video made and broadcast on MTV. Guy performs a soulful interpretation of the 60's hit "House of the Rising Sun" by The Animals. The Entire Campaign is documented on this micro Site: http://www.pacorabanne.com/blackxs/gb-en/label
