About me
Multi-disciplinary Brand Marketing Director, Brand consultant, and Creative Strategist specializing in cross-media communications, Proposition development, and influencer engagement. I thrive on creating materials that bring ideas to life in an accessible and imaginative way. From Brand creation, Campaign development, and Planning to Digital interactive design, Print layout, Motion graphics, photography, and 3D visualization. I enjoy taking on interesting assignments using my skills and imagination, and applying my own brand of Informed Intuition ™, to provide brilliant solutions to any challenge. Essentially I see everything as a branding opportunity from grocery shopping to personal grooming. I’m always looking and researching, trying to discover brands essence and then use this to form pictures, words, and ideas - essentially providing a framework from which as a creative planner, I can operate to build campaigns or as a creative lead develop one-off activations.

    PANTECHNICON is a contemporary dining and retail emporium set to open in 2019. Strongly influenced by Japanese and Nordic design. This international style destination is set over 5 floors of raw warehouse interior, in the heart of Belgravia. I was brought in as consultant Brand & Marketing Director, to help the company directors shape and define the consumer proposition. Over a 6 month period, I created the brand strategy for the project, built a twelve month marketing plan and budget. Created the consumer segmentation profiles commissioned and wrote the 76 page Brand positioning document, and investor pack for corporate funding. I created a detailed social media strategy and outlined a marketing plan which included partnerships, influencer programs, and ATL activations. I set up all external agency relations necessary for launch, including, PR, Brand agency, Web developers, and Sponsors, which gave the interim CEO a turnkey a solution at handover.

I was brought in as consultant Senior Strategy Director, to help shape the strategy team function as a stand-alone business unit and better integrate the department's services into the client solutions being offered. Working with the Head of Strategy and the Client Services Director, I put together a working process and new org structure. Developed the solution with live case studies with clients such as Amazon and Diageo and implemented the new program across all New Business and Campaign teams. I created Workshop and Brand Insight packages which were sold as independent services to new clients alongside the incremental business. I also updated the Brand messaging and Pitching process for client facing communications. Deliverables: Brand Strategy Creative Strategy Communications planning Creative Direction Process Development
