I'm a freelance Creative Director / Copywriter working both within the traditional agency model and outside. I also work directly with clients and production companies to create brand campaigns, one-off commercials and content, together with overseeing the production process from strategy to finished film.
Projects
- Vodafone "60 for 3"To advertise a Vodafone promotion that allowed customers to talk for 60 minutes but pay for just 3 minutes. We produced a campaign of multiple 10" ads that highlighted conversations that you may want to spend more time over. The campaign won Gold and Silver at Cannes, Graphite Pencil (nomination) at D&AD and was recognised at multiple other awards shows around the world.
- UBS "Life's Questions"I wrote and creative directed this global campaign which repositioned UBS in the banking and wealth management sectors with TV, online film, outdoor, press, digital banners together with a new website and social media presence. In addition I creative directed the film that launched the UBS Smartwealth digital investment platform. Almost a year after resigning from Publicis to freelance, I was invited back to creative direct and help the network transition all the creative work from London to Pub
- Tommy's "The babies who never came"This press campaign raised awareness and funds for Tommy's - a charity that researches into miscarried and stillborn babies. An emotionally charged subject, close to my heart, that needed to be handled with empathy and sensitivity. I wrote these in the first person to tell the stories of the babies that were longed for, but never came. The campaign was shot by Nadav Kander.
- NSPCC "Full Stop"A campaign to educate parents that punishing their children by hitting in any way, is wrong. And to raise awareness of the topic that was due to be discussed in UK parliament. Outdoor posters near schools meant parents saw the message in context. There were 4 executions and we also produced a book that parents could take from drop-in parenting help centres. The campaign won a coveted Yellow Pencil and further Graphite pencil at D&AD
