I played vital role in the team at Twelve, working closely with my CD and the rest of the studio. Together we produced BTL campaigns for brands such as Heineken, Colgate, Nescafé, Bulmers and Strongbow. In addition to this I was regularly involved with pitching for new work. I oversaw and had ownership of numerous projects, and have experience of working alongside production companies to take ideas into reality, producing a variety of POS and event collateral.
