    I was brought in to create an engaging social campaign designed support the launch of the new Zopa credit card. Working directly with the creative director I conceptualised campaign positionings and execution ideas. I worked closely with the creative team to create a series of digital social assets, from static ads to carousels and video. The creative was also used to inspire a series of organic social content. During my time at Zopa I also worked on a brand campaign for 2021. I conceptualised a variety of campaign ideas and positionings for a TV/VOD ad.
