As Creative Director of The Full Service and former Creative Director of Hunger Magazine, Vicky is a visual fanatic. Directing content across fashion, music videos, short films and TV commercials, her approach is to create bold, attitude heavy pieces of work. Creating both TV Commercials and Stills Campaigns for brands such as Rimmel, Bourjois, Jil Sander, Chanel, Elie Saab, Vichy and Agent Provocateur, she brings an edgy and provocative flair to her work – as well as getting gutsy performances from artists including Rita Ora, Charlotte OC and Dua Lipa.
A bright light in a new wave of female directors, Vicky was nominated for Best New Director at the 2015 Shots Awards and won a Silver at the 2016 Young Director Award in Cannes.
In 2017 Vicky was awarded the Creative Circle award for Best Up and Coming Female Commercial Film Director and also appeared on the cover of Pitch Magazine's 'Winners' Issue.

- SPKTRM x PanasonicTo launch the new Panasonic Lumix S series - Brave agency captured all of the behind-the-scenes action on my latest Spktrm Beauty photo shoot using their latest camera. I wanted to work with the brand Spktrm because of their pledge to strive for real and diverse beauty, with all of their imagery being retouch-free. Sounds like a good way to show off a new camera? We cast the talent through Spktrm's own Instagram page, finding the real fans of the product and what it stands for. Using bold block
- Rolls-Royce: Rules RewrittenFor the 2019 Phantom campaign I wrote 'Rules Rewriten', a script that sees British actress Gwendoline Christie take her Rolls-Royce Phantom on a few rule-breaking adventures. A new attitude, for a new era of Rolls-Royce. Directed and photographed by Rankin, the project amassed over a million views in under one month and an increase in engagement across all platforms.
- Aussie - #greathairthoughI photographed and directed the latest Aussie #greathairthough campaign for Recipe London. The concept is simple, sometimes we can encounter FML moments, but hey-ho life goes on - and you can get though it and can always rely on Aussie to give you great hair. Funny little shots and films, and most important to me was making sure it felt alive, energetic and charming. Working with fantastic hairstylist Jonathan Connelly, makeup from Gina Kane and styling from Ellie Witt.
