Earlier this year we worked on the launch of new sports brand SUDU. At Serotonin we helped develop three brand films and an OOH campaign, a well as the ongoing social campaigns.
From storyboarding, art direction and final design, the aim was to create a compelling narrative… A journey, grounded in authenticity, with a raw-ness, a realness that lands the new brand firmly in the active landscape.
We did this by showing the product in exciting and dynamic ways, across multiple situations, locations and uses... it's time to respect the resilant... there are no finish lines.
Focusing on three product categories, road, track and trail, the concept celebrates the everyday-heroes that respect the work and put the in the hard-yards when everyone else is still asleep.
A few weeks ago I took the Serotonin creative team on a little trip out of the office for an afternoon of culture, creativity and fried chicken with visit to the surreal world of a fading fast-food empire and an interactive adventure that mixes cinema and animation...
Sweet Dreams is an immersive adventure that transports you into the world of the Real Good Chicken Company, created by award-winning artist collective Marshmallow Laser Feast and illustrated by French artist mcbess (big fan).
From factory button pusher to funeral guest, the experience really touches all the senses.
All in, it was nice to get out of the studio for half-a-day and immerse ourselves in brand storytelling, pop-culture, design and cultural satire of the food & advertising industry.
It was an honour to have picked up two awards at The Prolific North Awards last week.
The campaign was meticulously put together, a real labour of love! Hundreds of elements coming together to create our own psychedelic world, across so many touchpoints from OOH, social and even creating our very own bus & route!
Couldn’t be happier to win for both the idea as well as the execution, for Best Advertising Campaign and Most Effective use of Design.
I created some illustrations (which got turned into awesome little animations) for a DOOH campaign located in the terminal at Manchester airport. The four illustrations are were created to welcome home and wave-off passengers as they pass through the terminal building, as well as celebrate the agency, our offering and the fine city we call home.
NQ64 launch campaign and retro-gaming styled website are LIVE!
I created the out-of home creative and worked with the digital team here at Serotonin to create the new website (which was nominated for several awards). We had lots of fun making the GIFs and interactive parts of the website.
It was great to be nominated for a couple of awards at the recent Northern Digital Awards, including best integrated campaign for my Sussex Modern campaign. Unfortunately didn't walk away this time with any gongs but it was a great evening.
The awards celebrate digital and marketing campaigns, websites, apps, software, tech and of course the incredible agencies and teams that invest innovative thinking, creativity and passion into their work and region.
It was nice surprise last week to walk into a local neighbourhood food store and see the Red Bull Gaming Sphere logo being used to front Red Bull's latest campaign. I worked on quite a few event and activation identities when I was freelancing but I'd never seen any work grace the iconic packaging!
Originally planned for Art Basel in Miami (until COVID continued to create havoc), the second Reebok x Eames collection launch activation eventually took place earlier this year - connecting the art world and with the sneaker community of NYC. One of my last contributions from my time at IMA-Home.
Shot around a year ago in Boston with then Celtics NBA player and now San Antonio Spurs hero, Josh Richardson. The campaign for Reebok Pump Omni has made a surprise return to the big screens of Times Square after originally displaying in the famous square back in January.
This was a fun one, creating an in-store running activation and retail experience to launch the latest adidas Solarglide running shoe, in the adidas London Flagship store on Oxford Street.
I created a sprint game where consumers tested themselves (and the shoe) in a race - fastest feet first! Smart phone integration allowed for campaign extensions and friendly rivalries to form across social as well as in-store.
One of my last projects at IMA-Home was a really fun one. A limited edition football boot collaboration between adidas and Swarovski - diamond studded Preds. Unreal.
The brief called for a retail takeover in the London flagship adidas store to launch and celebrate the £300 badboy blingers! Jumpers for goalposts anyone?
A really cool project to work and lead on... a collaboration between an iconic brand and legendary artist. Below are a couple of the social stories, followed by a couple of key visuals. Each release in the pack has its own narrative relating to each release and the artwork it is inspired by - through the creative concept which turners the consumer into artist and brings the life in front of your eyes, with the shoe becoming part of the process that inspired it.
