  • Suits - Universal Channel Image Spot Campaign
    Suits - Universal Channel Image Spot CampaignWe had access to Rick Hoffman and Sarah Rafferty for 1 hour, and I was the lead creative to write and direct image spots featuring them both. The immense challenge was having to write as their characters on the show, keeping to quirks and mannerisms that fit what Louis and Donna would say. The biggest compliment I received was Rick saying "This is really good." The spot won a Promax for best Image Spot.

  • Sompo - Asia's Most Unfortunate Traveller Digital Campaign
    Sompo - Asia's Most Unfortunate Traveller Digital CampaignSompo held a competition to find Asia's most unfortunate traveller; the prize? A trip around beautiful Japan, guided by a Japanese influencer who will show her some of the country's hidden gems. A campaign consisting of 5 videos. Each video had to be shot, edited and uploaded within 24 hours. A massive challenge, but it was a lot of fun working with professional and amateur talent, directing performances and shooting in amazing locations. And at the end, we had a very happy client!
