Projects
  • The Great Big Walk - Charity Films
    The Great Big Walk - Charity FilmsThe Big Walk, an Eden Project idea made possible by the National Lottery, saw 14 walkers cover over 1400 miles on foot between 29 May and 18 June. Why? To shine a light on ordinary folk going the extra mile to bring people in their community together, and walk up an appetite for The Big Lunch on 18 June. I edited a series of films and wrote all copy for the deliverables.

  • Don't let Paul do it all
    Don't let Paul do it allFor Sport Relief, we created a campaign with Fitbit called 'The Big Billion Step-a-thon' asking people to walk 5 billion steps for Sport Relief. As Creative Director for the campaign, I oversaw the production of 11 films, targeting people at different stages of the campaign. Our first was a mockumentary featuring Paul Mott, a man who'd taken it on himself to do the 5 billion steps himself. The campaign was a huge success, clocking up 9 million views and hitting our step target in just 2 weeks.
