LAUNCH STUNT
While freelancing at Rainey Kelly Y&R I came up with Making the Unmissable Unmissable, the pitch winning idea for the launch of I Player for the BBC, and introduced the service not with ads but via a huge April Fool’s Day prank which involved placing the content within BBC news programmes
and other media. It wasn’t eligible for awards but press around the world acclaimed it ("an instant classic. It is accomplished work of this kind
that guarantees the BBC its unique status” Daily Telegraph) and MSN named it as one of their 12 best hoaxes of the decade,
while The Huffington Post put it in their top 5.

SONY PLAYSTATION
TV CAMPAIGN
Sony PlayStation wanted to show that everyone (not just kids in their bedrooms) could have fun with its products and that gaming could be social. This led to Life On The PlayStation, an imaginary planet where all forms of human life gathered to compete, play, or just watch.
Another Cannes gold winner as well as recognition at D&AD and 6 British Arrows, including best campaign, amongst others.

SCALEXTRIC
TV CAMPAIGN
Scalextric’s sales were in massive decline. We needed a brave new strategy and creative work to match it. With kids deserting traditional toys
for solitary computer games we persuaded Scalextric, for the first time in the brand’s history, to create a campaign targeting men rather than children. By tapping into the cult of Scalextric, that has stayed with many men since childhood and which they could pass on to their sons and heirs,
we brought dad’s and sons closer together. Amongst numerous awards including D&AD, British Arrows and Creative Circle the campaign
won gold at Cannes.

STELLA ARTOIS
TV CAMPAIGN
The Reassuringly Expensive campaign is part of British advertising history. It took Stella Artois to number one in the market by taking great stories, about how precious the beer is, and telling them using reassuringly expensive production values. No wonder that Cannes gold, D&AD pencils
and numerous other awards were given to the work.
