I art directed multiple photoshoots and worked on many briefs at the same time, I always met my deadlines, however tight. I was involved in a few successful pitches.

  • Sep 2011 - Aug 2013

  I was taken on as a Junior Art Director but soon assumed responsibilities at a middleweight level. A key moment was a 6 month period between Creative Directors, where I took on a lot of extra responsibility. It was a steep learning curve and I stepped up to the opportunity. I was integral to helping the agency win it’s first creative awards for a while.I worked within a conceptual team working on a broad scope of media, developing annual campaigns for every client, including work for international markets. I art directed multipe studio and location photo shoots alongside award winning photographers. Including the launch of the Isuzu D-Max into the UK market, which the campaign helped them to achieve record breaking sales. I’ve played pivotal roles in many pitches, helping out the German and Russian offices with pitches too. These include huge wins for AGA cookers, Emcor (facilities management) and the Mercedes-Benz Van and Truck account.Clients: Ford, Berghaus, Land Rover, Jaguar, Virgin Media, Subaru, Bayer CropScience, NFU,Mercedes-Benz, Isuzu, Tata Steel, Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, Continental Tyres, Vauxhall.
