I'm currently working at Porter Novelli, part of Omnicom. My clients include Merck, Roche, the Aga Khan Museum and Sony. I'm hands on with projects which vary from motion and animation to film and print. If you want to find out a little more, there's a Q&A on the next page...
A little bit more about myself
If someone described you, what would they say?
Kind, fair, hardworking, full of good ideas, great to collaborate with, and often found in a brightly coloured pair of socks.
Have you managed
teams before?
I’ve led several smaller teams as well as deputising for the Global Creative Director leading the wider team. I’m passionate about helping develop talent. There have been a number of tricky situations I’ve managed in the past, learning something valuable from each one.
Are you comfortable presenting to clients?
In a word, yes, although I have nerves like most people. I find it’s about talking and listening and asking good questions. In my time I’ve worked with all kinds of clients, from indecisive to dominating. The key is in the brief. Constantly checking in and making sure it leads to the end goal.
What are your thoughts on AI and creativity?
It’s a tool. Like all tools, you pick the best one for the right situation. AI brings an opportunity to focus on hi-end craft skills as we are liberated from mundane tasks.
and more...
What do you think makes great work great?
Great work has an unexpected simplicity, elegance, and clarity. It creates an emotional resonance that rewards the audience for spending time with it.
What kind of projects do you hope to work on?
Well, I’d like to work on projects that invoke the qualities of my previous answer. My dream is to collaborate with equally ambitious professionals to produce concept-driven creative that breaks new ground.
What practical skills
do you have?
I’ve art-directed video and animation projects and designed content for POS, books, magazines, and marketing materials. I’ve covered all bases from ideation, pitches to retouching. I’m comfortable using software like After Effects, Premiere, Photoshop and Illustrator and presentation software.
Tell me a secret about yourself
Once I went to a fancy dress party dressed at Zorro. But I arrived at the wrong venue. It took several questions from bemused old men for me to realise my mistake.
We created animated and static assets for Sony. Working with an illustrator we collaborated and concepted together to produce the animation and artwork. We then adjusted the layout for 8 languages. Supplying the client with plenty of B2B content.
Merck wanted an international campaign for Diabetes Type 2 awareness. So using the universal language of sport we came up with this football inspired campaign. The logo was centered around unity to a cause. We designed and provided assets to their internal team to translate into Chinese, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian.
This animation was part of a pitch for UPS work. Working with the team, I got a storyboard together and helped establish the storyline and style. We recorded and cut audio from staff members. I then animated this within a week.
The client wanted an easy-to-navigate, interactive questionnaire for healthcare professionals worldwide. We proposed a wide range of solutions. In the end, we produced a 40-page interactive PDF. We tested it so it worked with all the pdf limitations that there are now.
Working as part of a team to create films to highlight how Coop and their members support community charities and projects across the UK. This is a short edit of Ebony Horse Club, a charity based in Brixton. Then social assets from the Mustard tree charity and You Raise me up, child bereavement charity.
Working with Coop to bring support to those who have had a bereavement. The videos needed to feel calming, have a warmth. We brought animation in with the video to soften the subject matter and bring some colour to what is a difficult subject.
Coop needed a film produced for their conference within a 4 week turnaround. We needed to highlight and show their new community website. Shot during covid, we had to record people in their homes. Then animate them being part of the website and showing everyone what it could do.
This is the Riba 'Find the Architect' series. We shot each house with a team of videographers and a photographer. Working closely with RIBA we highlighted the stunning award winning architecture. We then edited and created multiple social assets.
I worked closely with the Creative Director and Fashion Director to produce and design the Denim campaign for George. The assets were for POS and social, and for the website.
This is a compilation of some award winning work I did for Tesco. I art directed stills and videos for their recipe hub and social channels. Some of the fabulous photographers/videographers I was lucky to collaborate with were Maja Smend, Toby Scott, Richard Jung, Tara Fisher to name a few.
Boots asked for an identity for their new and now award winning podcast series. I created a logo, icons and brand/visual guidelines to use for promotion, in-store and online. They wanted a slightly edgier look to work with their current overall brand guidelines.
