No More Parachutes

• Movies, Videos, and Sound

• Founder & Creative Doer

  • May 2019 - Present

  No More Parachutes is a ‘cut loose from the known’ strategic and creative agency that specialises in where sport and positive-living intersect with culture and style. We're an impact-minded fully remote team, with small-agency nimbleness but a big-agency network and senior expertise, drawn from a collective of industry experience. Our clients include household names alongside an array of exciting young start-up enterprises. Deploying a network of senior experts, we lead all the stages of creative campaigns from strategy and concepting through to final delivery. This includes strategic and creative direction, design, production and project management. We range from major big-budget projects (brand strategies and identities; digital transformations; major brand moments including events; product ideation and launches) to one hit wonders (including campaign executions; design and retail executions; documentary, film and animation; book and magazine design).
