Beautiful skincare that works
Client: Medik8
Agency: Egelnick + Associates
Medik8 are an established cosmeceuticals brand with a strong reputation. They were keen to evolve their existing brand to reflect the high-end nature of the products and to compete with the likes of Elemis and Dermalogica. Working in partnership with luxury brand design studio, Egelnick + Associates, my role was as communications strategist and copywriter. I designed and facilitated an initial workshop to define the brand attributes that would then inform the creative brief. I went on to develop a new tone of voice in line with the developing visual brand and to come up with a new strapline and campaign copy. The new brand launched in May 2018.

Clucky birds
Client: Happy Bird

Happy Bird is the antithesis to the fried chicken shops that fill our high streets. I was briefed to come up with a range of posters that played with the language of poultry and would tell the story of the birds journey, from farm to shop.

Bringing brands to life through film

An extraordinary task
Client: Tate & Lyle
Agency: Futurebrand
Creative Director: Will Bloor
A huge project that ran for well over a year and involved reviewing, editing and condensing content from more than twenty microsites into one mothership site. Working closely with strategy and creative teams from Futurebrand, my job was to interview global staff across different business areas and write new website content in line with the brand’s new tone of voice.
Working both remotely and in-house, I worked closely with the internal marketing team and category managers to review and redefine messaging and to ultimately, simplify a vast amount of complex information. As a huge global brand with many strings to their bow, there was a real need to say less in order to better communicate their vast and varied offer to the world.

A creative review
Client: Fiasco Design
Agency: Fiasco Design
Creative Director: Ben Steers
Fiasco Design are an established Bristol design studio with an reputation for purposeful and intelligent design. They had reached a natural point in their business growth where they recognised the value in taking stock of who they are and where they’re going. After an exploratory brand workshop with the team, we worked together to create a beautifully printed brochure that would capture the true essence of the studio, and could be used to engage potential clients and employees.
I worked closely with Ben and the team to craft words that would really capture the studio’s personality, ethos and approach.
