Jacamo Christmas TV 2018

Whilst this was not something I worked on directly, but having spent 18 months working closely with the Jacamo team (whilst I was at LOVE), working on the rebrand and creating all their seasonal brand guides for this period it was nice see that they were taking the guides on themselves and creating good solid content on their own.

Whilst there is nothing ground-breaking in terms of idea or application here, it's a long way from where they used to be with Johnny Vegas.

It was also nice to see the tv campaign lead with a line written be me. #winterwrapped

Red Bull Timelaps

Last year I was lucky enough to work on a number of projects with drinks brand Red Bull. The first one to go live was the branding and visual identity for Red Bulls first foray into road cycling, Red Bull Timelaps. The event saw teams of 4 battle it over a 25 hour endurance race on 28th October 2017 at Great Windsor Park as the clocks went back (that's where the extra hour came in).

Whilst I put together a full case study here are a few shots from the event for which I was lucky enough to attend. It was a great day and night all round and everyone seemed to enjoy it. The weather even held out which, for an outdoor event in October is amazing!

 

Participants compete during Red Bull Timelaps in Windsor Great Park, London UK, on October 28, 2017

JW Lees Brewery – Rebrand

A full case study to come once everything has fully launched, but in the mean time it was a real pleasure to work on the rebrand and redesign of the JW Lees Brewery portfolio of beers whilst freelancing at Manchester agency Squad.

Working alongside Squad Creative Director David Barraclough, with Manchunian master typographer Daren Newman we created a suite of beers that each tell their own story in a different way and brings them right up-to-date, whilst still retaining an element JW Lees heritage.

It was a great project to be involved with and I look forward to sharing more of the project once its fully out in the wild.

I should probably get the work into a case study and put it on my site, in the mean time check it out here.

D&AD – Pencils


I'm proud to have been involved in the Jacamo re-brand project which last week won 2 pencils at the D&AD awards in London. The 'Real-Man Manual' took away two pencils - a graphite for 'Brand Expression for Print' & wood in 'Branding'.

Congrats to the whole LOVE Jacamo team; Gary, Rory, Laffers, Pat and Myers.

About the project and re-inventing the Jacamo brand.

We knew we needed to raise brand awareness for Jacamo but, at the same time, consider how we could shift opinions of those who had negative, and often unfair, perceptions of what Jacamo was all about. Fundamentally, it’s great-fitting and stylish clothes for men.

From sizes S to 5XL, Jacamo offers clothes for every man. Well, every real man. And real men aren’t that keen on the frills and fuss when it comes to shopping. So we created a brand that offers a shopping experience for men who want to look and feel great without any of the
hassle. Our brand proposition was born – Jacamo. Outfitters For The Real Man.

The Jacamo Real-Man Manual

We created the ‘Jacamo Real-Man Manual’ to lay down in black and white (literally) all those nitty-gritty details of the brand’s reinvention. The manual combines our new, humorous tone of voice with a series of comical illustrations to create a brand book that inspires and entertains in equal measure. Used as both an internal rallying cry and an external opinion changer, the book has served as a catalyst for a year of change at Jacamo.

View the project here, whilst I get round to adding to the work section.

New TV ad – Jacamo FITS (Christmas edition)

A fun shoot and project to be involved with, shot as a stop-frame animation by Tommy Cockram, starring former England Cricket Captain, Freddie Flintoff with post production provided by The Mill.

The stop-frame animation worked really well across social too:

Below are some of the behind the scenes, including me taking a (it was three or four) snowball(s) for the team. I'm thankful it wasn't Freddie wasn't throwing them, an unlucky digi was on the receiving end the next day and whoa!

I also shot a series of four of interviews with Freddie between scenes, where he ponders some the big festive issues check one below, more on Jacamo's youtube channel.
