  • 'Converse: Spark Progress'
    'Converse: Spark Progress'Was part of both the strategic and creative process for the 'Converse: Spark Progress' campaign. We were briefed to come up with ideas in how Converse could once again engage and endear themselves with the young female audience.

Eventually, creating a hero film to document the journey.

Solution: Build a commentary forum space on BBC iPlayer that I named: iPlayer 'Chat Room'; so people can leave comments on their favourite shows on demand. I also saw the perception TV license as a huge barrier

    PwC ChatbotUsing the power of design, and the influence of emerging technologies, we set out to augment the experience for clients that visit PwC.
