Once again, it's great to be back with Brandfuel, and similar to UM I'm back working on those E-mailers we worked on before new year.
Here we go, a new year and what a perfect way to start, a booking with UM. Continuing some of the HTML campaigns that rolled over from 2023.
Well, after 3 years 3 months of working on a rolling contract with PokerStars it has come to an end. It's been such an honour to work with them for so long and to work with an company that has so much flexibility is truly a gift. I've made some good friends here and it's a shame to see it come to an end, but you never know what 2024 will bring.
Finishing off the year with UM has been great, I've been jumping between projects for different managers at the agency for the last few months non-stop. Growing and learning as we go, I hope it continues into 2024.
Another new agency to work with and hopefully an agency I can continue to work with into 2024. I was booked at Brandfuel to build E-mailers into a new Google platform. Great team to work with.
I think it's been one of the busiest years for me with WWF, the amount of campaigns has been great and to be more involved with social media and videos now is great also.
It's been great to work with SMP again this year, and again I'm back in to build E-mailers.
Fuse are back and it's been a quite year from them, nothing near like it was in 2022. But it's great to be back working with them and once again on a multiple market HTML banner campaign that I automated.
A huge HTML banner campaign for one of the biggest hotel chains in the UK. It consisted of over 100 banners, unfortunately I couldn't automate this set as it wasn't build by me, so it required quite a bit of time to work on each one.
Wonderful to be back working with these guys, its always great to collaborate. I was booked to build a scroller site for a new client, using various languages and frameworks.
It's that time of the year again, Christmas campaigns for WWF. A new set of HTML banners to capture the awareness of species in trouble.
I'm back with UM again, this time with a new client of theirs. I was booked to build a set of dynamic HTML banners with over 100 versions for DoubleClick.
It's been a few months since working with SMP, but we are back working together on more E-mailers for one of their global technology clients.
It's lovely to continue working with UM this year, and this time I'm back putting together a video for one of the largest digital payment services in the middle-east.
What an honour to work with Nokia, a brand that dominated the late 90s and is still going strong. I was booked to build two webpages for them to host on Amazon.
Back working with Cafe, this time working with Wordpress to help fix some issues that a client has discoved.
The first part of the campaign is complete, now for part two. I was booked to build a set of various HTML banners. As we many of my HTML campaigns I use automation to roll them out faster.
There seems to more HTML campaigns for WWF this year, which is great, and to hear the positive feedback from them is brilliant.
Fantastic to have expanded that original one week booking into a rolling contract. Continuing to work on HTML banners in BannerFlow.
Back again working with UM, this time working on social statics and DOOH screens for airports for a large car rental company.
Just a quick a booking to help out on an app and prepare the files for delivery and client.
Another new agency to add to my list, and this one was just a weeks booking that went on for quite a few months. I was booked to work on gambling ads building them in BannerFlow.
After delivering a set of social videos for a global brand last time, we are back working together on a new campaign. Always a pleasure working with the team.
It's been wonderful to work with WWF again, delivering another HTML campaign for their Adoptions campaign, something that is quite a regular feature throughout the year.
Well we are back working together for 2023, the wonderful team at UM have asked me to work on a video for one of the top 5 brands in the world. What an honour.
Not a new agency, but a new identity (previously Creative Services). I've been working with these guys for a few years now, and having built up a good reputation I've been able to spread my skillsets with them to deliver more possibilities for their clients.
It's a pleasure to be back working with WWF again, hopefully another year of fantastic work. I was booked back in to work on social statics.
A new year and a new agency added to my list, Pitch. I was booked to build a responsive webpage for a large phone brand.
And last but not least my rolling contract with PokerStars has continued throughout the year, working on many HTML campaigns, Automation and Animations with the wonderful team.
Well what a way to finish the year, another booking with UM. They have been so good to me this year, and I'm so happy that we've been able to work together and deliver quality creatives.
Wow, another huge agency that has been on my list for some time, Dentsu. I was booked to design and build some E-mailers.
Back with M-is, this time I was called in to help with WebFlow, something that haven't had much experience with, but I can see the potential for non-developers.
It's been great to work with SMP again this year, it's fantastic to see how much they have grown and to work on great projects.
It's certainly turning out to be the year of UM for me, it's such an honour to have built this reputation with them and for them to keep coming back to me for many projects.
Normally around this time of the year WWF are working on their Black Friday and Christmas campaigns, so I was pulled back in to help build these in HTML.
Well, its back. Big Group are back and we are working on more HTML campaigns for one of the worlds biggest phone companies.
I really enjoy working with Fuse, this time on another big HTML campaign for a multiple markets. Again I used automation to create these so that we could deliver faster to the client.
Back working with Creative Services, this time not on HTML Banners but an E-mailer. Which was a nice change for us, we work closely together and would both like to showcase different skillsets.
Giradot have small jobs for me, but I'm glad I am there for them when needed. I enjoy the projects they have and I will always be happy to help.
Well, it's been quieter this year with Big Group, but we're back working together for a few weeks. Great.
Back with SMP building more E-mailers for their large technology clients.
Another new agency to add to my list. Bright Partnerships are a fantastic agency to work with, really great team and great projects.
A new agency for the year, M-is. They came to me to build a microsite for a weapons developer (not something you see everyday) but wow what a great project.
What a year it's been working with UM on so many great projects. It's nice to be able to use my full set of skills, whether thats Dev, Video or Design, all aspects I've been able to use with this agency.
Really nice to have this connection back with SMP after so many years. I'm back building E-mailers for them.
Great to be working with First Group again, having worked on a few of their clients website designs, it was great to be working on another.
It's been a busy year of HTML campaigns for WWF, I've been working with them to develop key components that work so that we can fully engage the user.
A great project again with UM, such a wonderful team to work with, really easy to get on with and very good briefing.
Back working with Bulletproof on a really nice HTML creative campaign for one of the worlds biggest hotel/travel sites.
Well it's been a year or so since working with Ipsos, it's fantastic to be asked to work with them again.
Back with First Group again, working on web designs for one of the biggest social media networks.
I think last year was the year of Big Group and I think this year will be the year of UM. What an pleasure it is to work with such great agencies.
I can't really say it another, it's an honour to have worked with WWF throughout each year since 2019. It's something that is close to my heart, so I put every ounce of attention into the project.
Once again working with Giradot on some of their finance clients. Always a pleasure to work with them.
Now these was a cool campaign, I had to build 500+ HTML Banners for 4 markets. Normally it would take weeks, but I automated lots of this which allowed me to do it all within a few days.
It's another UM campaign and I have to say it, my career is complete... I'm working on the Barbie brand! Brilliant.
Another year, another WWF campaign to work on together.
Having worked closely together last year to deliver some very creative HTML campaigns, we are back at it. Hopefully it turns out to be another great year.
I've got a feeling it will be a good with with UM. As always I try to maintain an excellent reputation with any agencies I work with.
Now here's a client from the past. Back working with SMP since 2010/11 I believe. Now they have grown and grown. I'm back building E-mailers for one of their clients I worked with all those years ago. Brilliant.
It just keeps on coming, more and more campaigns with Fuse, let's hope it continues.
Another campaign needed for Big Group. What can I say, these guys are great to work with, every time we work so well together.
Fantastic, I'm back with UM again for another year working on one of many HTML campaigns.
It's my first new client of the year. What a pleasure it was to work with First Agency.
I was hoping to keep this agency into 2022 and here we are, so happy to be working with Fuse again on a large HTML campaign.
Back working with Giradot on a new set of HTML banners for one of their larger clients.
Let's go, a new year and hopefully we see some of these lockdown restrictions lifted, but as we start its back working with the wonder Big Group.
Well there we have it, another year gone. Throughout the year I've continued to working with PokerStars on many campaigns and developing new automation scripts. I've learnt so much working with such a fantastic team.
To finish up probably the best year in my career I'm back with UM, working on some of there biggest clients for FlashTalking.
Well, it seems like its been non-stop Big Group this year, and in a year of Lockdown once again, it's certainly much appreciated that we've been able to work so closely.
Another project from Giradot, again another agency I've managed to keep a good reputation with.
Back with Fuse, I'm glad I was able to maintain a strong relationship, which is what I set out to do with everyone I work with.
Well they just keep coming, a new agency UM, an agency I've always wanted to work with and its finally happening. I really enjoyed working with UM, so many great clients, so many great projects.
It's time for the Christmas HTML campaigns, this time working closer with the team to get the direction expected to drive awareness.
We're still going strong again this year, it seems i'm being spread around the agency and being pulled into different clients. Fantastic.
Working with Creative Services again, this time on a new HTML banner campaign.
Here we go again, another new agency and what a great agency. Fuse booked me to working with once of their biggest clients creating 100s of HTML banners and statics. I did this through automation so that I could delivery everything quicker than expected.
Back with WWF for a new social campaign, creative ads for FaceBook, Instagram, TikTok and SnapChat.
Once again a new agency to add to my list and also an agency that I went on to work with again over time.
It's been a great year working with Big Group, its been almost a constant booking through 2021. Really great team of people.
Back with Big Group again, this time working on DeLonghi with collaborations with Brad Pitt. I really enjoyed this project, nice creative and clean and simple animation.
I was asked to jump onto a project that was in a bit of a mess, myself and another freelancer were able to make a plan and deliver the correct assets.
Another new agency for me working on various creatives and socials.
I worked with Bulletproof to build a fantastic interactive digital campaign collaboration with Netflix.
Always great to be working with WWF, I'm so glad that this relationship has lasted a few years. Once again I was booked to develop a new campaign.
Another first agency, and what a great project. I was asked to design and build a scroller site that was fully interactive using dynamic data.
What a fancy agency to work with. It was my first time working with Archetype, they asked me to join the team to design a new website for a large client.
It's been great to be working with Design Bridge again, this time working on a major client website/online rebrand.
Back once again working with Big Group, this time on some social ads for one of their biggest clients.
After building up a good relationship with Creative Services last year, I was booked again. Fantastic agency.
It was my first time to work with Haygarth, working on an E-Cigarette brand for the week.
It's the start of something very special. Originally I was book at Pokerstars for 3 months to build HTML5 banners and an automated framework with Node.js, a challenge that I couldn't refuse. Gratefully that 3 month contract kept on rolling into 2021.
Always a pleasure to be working with WWF again, it's an organisation that is very close to my heart and a brand that I take great care into.
Well, a new client a few weeks ago came back already, which is brilliant. Working on a new website this time for a global company.
The last few months has seen me jumping from the same clients week on week, which has been fantastic. This week, back to Big Group for some exciting car brands.
Back working with Nick and his team again, bringing some more creative animation and designed HTML5 banners to the table.
I really enjoy working with DesignBridge, a great team of people and extremely flexible. This time I would be working in Sketch to redesign a global brands website.
It was great to pick up a new client, this time something a little different. Working with G Suite, Googles website builder. It was very limited, but did what it need to do for Afiniti's client.
Always great working with WWF, and great to see my banner template in good use globally too. This time I would be working on the new Christmas campaign.
Just as before, making a good impression is the most important, and it's something I focus on strongly. Working back with Ipsos was great, really good team of people.
I always try to leave a good impression, and it certainly does make you feel good when they keep asking if you are free. Back again with Big Group on some of their huge global clients.
I've been building up a nice relationship with Creative Services and looking at how to help bring more creative ideas for HTML5 banners for their clients.
Having previously work with Ipsos Mori, I was very happy to join the team again. Again working on using Wordpress to construct a website for one of their large clients.
Fantastic to work with Big Group again, working on some new campaigns for a range of there clients. Focusing mainly on concerting and building HTML5 banners.
Since starting my working relationship with Creative Services a few months ago, we have collaborated on many projects. Again this was for HTML5 banners and emails.
As always, it's great to work with Alfa. I was asked to work on some of their social media assets.
Great to be working with Big Group again, this time I was booked to work on some HTML5 banners for Motorola for their new Razr 5G campaign.
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Ipsos Mori, a great team with exciting projects. I was booked for a few weeks to build a Wordpress website. We had 3 weeks to learn the brand, design and execute the site, so it was a bit of a squeeze, but the outcome was received very well.
I had been lucky to have consistent remote bookings throughout the Coronavirus during 2020, and BPL were another brilliant agency to work with. I was pulled in to work on HTML5 banners for Samsung and Three.
My relationship with Creative Services started in kind of a strange way. I was asked to jump in and help out on some banners that were over the file limit. From there it grew into multiple HTML5 projects, email builds etc, and the work continue to roll in. Fantastic clients and great agency to work with.
I've been working with Alfa for many years, having worked with a close friend who is the creative lead. I began working with Alfa when I was based in Shanghai, and upon returning to the UK some years later it was a pleasure to continue working again.
Having worked with WWF for the last few months, I had been able to build a strong relationship with them. Each month working on various HTML5 banner campaigns.
It has been a pleasure to work with the WWF, a company that is very important and something that means a lot to me. I worked on various campaigns leading up to Christmas.
This was the first time working with Big Group, and as seen for most of the 2019, all my bookings were turning to remote bookings. They booked me to design emails newsletters for Natwest. Fantastic company to work with.
Always great fun to work at Node, which is a company set up by close friends. They have a very good client base and wonderful projects to work on.
Purpose Works came to me to help redesign the Epson website. As with most of my bookings for 2019, this was fully remote, which allows me to have more time to focus on creativity.
Having got straight back into the freelance role again it was time to work with another new agency, MediaMonks. These guys are great, really pushing the creativity and full of great clients.
It was great to be working with DesignBridge again, this time with the London office. I was pulled in to work on HTML5 banners for Lipton.
In April 2019 I moved back to England and began freelance work again. Soon after I was back working with fantastic agencies, this time, DesignBridge in Holland. The brief was to concept an AR experience for when the user scans the QR code on the side of an AirWick's product.
In April 2016 I decided to leave freelancing for awhile and have a go at running my own creative agency in Shanghai, China. It really was a challenge, in a country that didn't really have a digital market, a country that had internet limitations and a culture that wasn't driven by marketing. In the 2 years since we've been running our office in Shanghai, we have created award winning applications, interactive websites and developed groundbraking technology.
I continued working with Tag Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore throughout the start of 2016. But I was finding things a little repetitive and thought it be good for a change.
I spent a few days over in Tag's Hong Kong office to help on a pitch for Sands. The pitch was to take place in Macao, around 40 mins on boat from Hong Kong. The Shanghai and Hong Kong offices work very closely together.
Having worked with Tag since 2009 I had built up a good reputation globally, and having worked with the Shanghai office over a few years it gave me an opportunity to be a good cross-communication point for the London and Shanghai office. During my time there I mainly handled global campaigns for H&M and Burberry.
One of my most enjoyable places to work in Shanghai, a fantastic team and wonderful workplace. I helped create a fantastic interactive application for Porsche, inwhich my part was to design the UI and UX, also bug test and QC. I also designed a range of Porsche and Bahlsen websites for the China market.
I started working with local agency Lab Brand in early 2015, creating video content for social media and promotional marketing material for Red Bull and Skoda.
Having lived in Shanghai for many years on and off, I finally moved there permanently in January 2015. It was extremely difficult to find a job in digital advertising, the industry just didnt exist at the time, all of my previous work in terms of billboard ads, online banners, Rich Media were all unknown areas in 99% of agencies in China. So I had to rely on my design expereience and landed a job at Possible, designing and buidling websites for Nike and FENDI.
I was back at Tag for my last time before moving to Shanghai, and back working with the wonderful team responsible for all the H&M ads globally.
It was fantastic to finally get my foot in the door of one of the most famous advertising agencies in the world. I spent a few weeks here working on ads for HSBC and Direct Line.
I really enjoyed working at Betgenius, a company that managed betting feeds and statistics. I developed dynamically driven ads for Paddy Power and The Trainline.
I've built up a good working relationship with MediaCom since 2011, this time I was back to work on ads for the RSPCA and Universal Studios.
I was over in Shanghai for the birth of my daughter and Forever Beta allowed me to continue my contract with them whilst I was there. I was still working on ads for Google, and the great thing as that I could deliver the work before the guys got into the London office due to the time difference.
Another new agency to work with, working on dynamic ads for Google. Creating ads for their Christmas and New Year campaigns.
I helped Group M developed some visual identity for the Chinese market, aswell as updating there presention decks to a more modern, clean and simplified style.
My role was to update PPT's and help re-brand their Chinese clients for the global market with a more simplified and modern typeface, layout and identity.
I was back in Shanghai and back at Tag's Shanghai office. I was sent over to teach the Chinese team about brand guidelines, production techniques and QA/QC processes for H&M.
Another agency on my list of places to work. Great office, great team of people. My role was to create ads for Ikea.
Also back at Tag to work on various clients such as HP, Jaguar and Landrover, Intel and H&M. Always a pleasure to work here, I have made many friends within Tag and it feels like one big family.
Back to MediaCom again, a place I've always enjoyed working, great vibe and projects to work on. MediaCom allow you to be very creative and free to play around with assets and animation, so it's always great working here.
This was the first time working with Elvis, I had heard about the agency over the last few years and was excited to see what type of work was going on and how the agency worked.
First time of hearing about this agency, based in Covent Garden, London. Great office, nice team and fun projects. Here my role was to create ads for Sky and Sky Sports.
Red Brick Road was part of the Tag Worldwide Group, Tag had sent me there to replace the creative lead for a few weeks. I would be creating a range of standard and rich-media ads for Tesco.
A fantastic agency to work for, set up by two of my closest friends. They have great clients and a excellent reputation.
Quite a unique agency/company based on Tottenham Court Road, London. I would be working on SanDisk, creating ads for various media.
During the end of my time in Shanghai, I spent a week at Tag helping the team with HP, H&M and Intel's digital campaigns. Whilst there I also taught the team some new techniques and explained brand guidelines in detail.
I was in Shanghai again and half way through a contract with Bostock & Pollitt, which they kindly allowed me to continue over there, finishing my work on the Macmillan account.
A great little agency to work with, I would spend my time here working on the Macmillan account, creating standard and rich-media ads for various platforms.
I was working at Morrisons own digital agency based near London Bridge. A beautiful office and a great team. I was designing and building banner ads and EDM's for Morrison promotions.
A small agency near London Bridge, but with fantastic quality of work and clients. Here I created explandable ads for 2K Games, and their latest game release, Darkness 2.
I really enjoyed working at Smart, a very nice team and quirky office in Clerkenwell, London. Here I would be creating master ads for DIY brand, Wickes.
I was back at Tag, working on Landrover and H&M. It's always great to work here, I've built a really close friendships with the majoiry of people in the digital department, which makes working here easier and more flexible.
My first time to work at MediaCom, which has been on my list of places to work for many years. Really great fun working here, very nice team and great projects. I would be creating ads for Universal Studios.
A nice agency but quite far out of central london, based in Hammersmith, so a good 2 hour jounery in rush hour. Great workplace, great team. I would be working on print campaigns for Philips.
A small agency based on Oxford Street, London with a friendly team and dog in the office.
I really enjoyed working here, nice group of people and good clients. My role was to create rich-media ads for Santander.
Fantastic agency to work with, based in Fulham, London. Bit of a trek in rush hour but well worth it. I worked on accounts for Canon and Panasonic.
This was a nice place to work, young and talented team, I was bought in to help create dynamic ads for Sanofi, so that they content of the ad could be updated easily without needed to edit the original file.
I've always wanted a chance to work with OMD. The had a department called the Doodle Bar which is where I worked on ads for Citroën, Bathstore and Graze.
I was back at BD Network working once again with the fantastic team in the Tea Buiding, Shoreditch. I would be following up on the launch of the Nintendo 3DS and creating dynamic, expandable and video ads. Inwhich we won awards, which was great.
This was part of a very long stretch working at Tag, pretty much every week of 2010. I was based in the Intel department, executing ads soley for Intel, it was fantastic, and a great team to work with.
A really cool agency, a very creative, fun place to work, I immediately enjoyed working there. I was working on the pre-launch of Nintendo's 3DS create awarding winning ads.
I had been working at Tag every week since September 2009, and was starting to create a real trust and relationship with them. So they asked me to move to the Intel team for a longer term contact, which was great.
After leaving FEED I was presented with an opportunity to work as a freelancer with Tag, which I had known about for a few years. I jumped at the chance and never really looked back. I began by creating ads for Ballantines, Eurostar, T-Mobile, Landrover and more. It was the start of a very good relationship.
I was promoted to Studio Manager as well as continuing as a digital designer/developer. I felt very proud of this and that the team had noticed the hard work I had put in.
I started work at FEED in May 2007, a small but really great agency in Clerkenwell, London. Great team of people and really good projects. It was a full-time position so I worked extremely hard to execute the best quality ads. My clients were eBay, Airbus, Chanel, Universal Studios, HSBC, and many more.
I was looking for a job in London, and the only way in was to be a runner. So I took a job working at Blue Post Production based in Soho, London.
Whilst studying at University I had a job working at Keyboards in Action, a company that sells musical instruments to schools all over the UK and Europe.
My degree at University was in Sound Engineering and Music Production, so it was only fitting that in the summer I spent a few months learning more about one of the worlds biggest mixer companies by working there.
I began my career working in the local council designing print campaigns for the NHS, Police and City Council.
