Northern Digital Awards

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.

Red Bull Gaming Sphere campaign & packaging

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!

Pt1: New Brand Project Initialising…

 

My Creative Director and Serotonin co-founder Clair Heaviside, and I, had a great day getting to know our newest client and their employees last week. We both left feeling energised and excited to start working with them.

Culture Club

It’s the last Friday of the month, and that means Culture Club!

✅ Two slides
✅ Two things
✅ Two minutes

Something you've done. Something you've seen. Somewhere you've been.
Everyone in the agency, has two mins (max) to share a couple of cool things.

That’s it.

Then we all go to the pub/home/wherever our Friday and weekend takes us, having learned a bit, and feeling inspired.

This is the Culture Club.

Oceans Alive: Rebrand

Full case study is on the way but in the mean time here's a little overview of my first project at SEROTONIN.

Feel the Serotonin

At the end of last year I made the switch to join SEROTONIN as their Head of Creative. I've joined the business alongside two other new senior hires.

“With Ben, Jack and Dan joining the team we have a really strong start to 2023,” said co-founder, Clair Heaviside.

“Each of them brings the expertise and energy to help the agency and our clients achieve great things. These hires take Serotonin to a new level, and I couldn’t be more excited for what’s to come.”

Two months in and I couldn't be happier. Since the country/world first went in to lockdown I've been through a series of ups and (plenty of) downs but I feel like I'm really making positive steps at the moment both personally and professionally.

I'm really excited for where this new position can lead, and in general 2023. I'm definitely feeling the love and a new sense of purpose, and long may it continue.

Red Bull – Gaming Sphere

Love this incredible footage around the Red Bull Gaming Sphere space in London shared recently on instagram.

 

I worked on the branding and identity for the Gaming Spheres several years ago when they were first developing their gaming and e-games concept and strategy. This was following on from a number of the other Red Bull identities I created for them.

The Sphere regularly hosts tournaments, bootcamps and workshops, enabling professionals, amateurs and fans to level up their game.

Big Prize… and big names ;)

Nice little mention in PR Week today, as Rise at Seven clinch agency of the year... article below...

UK PRWeek Awards 2022.
Best Agency (outside London) - Winner – Rise at Seven

This award goes to Rise at Seven, whose approach of combining PR with SEO has paid dividends.

Launched during the pandemic by Carrie Rose and Stephen Kenwright, in just three years Sheffield-based Rise at Seven has grown into a major player. It now has 140 employees and offices in London, Sheffield and Manchester.

April 2022 saw the opening of Rise at Seven’s first US office in New York and the agency boasts clients such as Interflora, boohoo, GoCompare, and Parkdean Resorts. The agency was the fastest growing in the PRWeek Top 150 2022, with revenue quadrupling to almost £4m in 2021 and the size of its team doubling from less than 50 to more than 100. Revenue is continuing to soar, reaching £6.8m in 2022 – a year in which Rise at Seven made £1.5m in profit.

The secret of its success? A client offering combining PR with SEO to increase brand awareness and digital impact, according to Rose. The past year has seen it continue to win big name clients, such as Revolution Beauty and Dermalogica. And the agency has attracted some big names to its ranks. Dave Bennett, the former global managing director of Exposure and Freuds director, joined as comms director in March; and the agency appointed Ben Topliss, ex-design director at IMA-Home, as head of design in May.

In a bid to stay ahead of the pack, Rise at Seven recently built a tool that extracts thousands of searches from its clients’ internal site search analytics and matches them to Google Trends. This informs activity in a fraction of the time compared to traditional insight processes.

The judges said

The niche this agency serves feels very current right now, and the growth and culture Rise at Seven has achieved in just a few short years is really quite astounding.

Eventually everything connects. Reebok x Eames, NYC.

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.

 

 

And check out the wrap-up video snippet...

adidas Solarglide – LDN Oxford Street

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.

New Work Alert… adidas: Predator x Swarovski

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? ​

Shine bright, stand out, play the occasion.
