  We founded Flying Object in 2013 with a simple aim: to create content and experiences that people actually enjoy or gain value from. In that time we've build events and activations for Twitter, Google, Fiat, Crabtree & Evelyn and Intel. We've produced and directed videos for YouTube, Cartoon Network, and many parts of Google.

  I organised Google UK's first ever banner ad campaign in 2006 (bizarrely, persuading people to use Google Maps on their phone, when people needed persuading of such things), and was UK Marketing Manager for Search, Maps, Mobile and Brand. I also got to pick the doodles that appeared on the Google UK homepage.
