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.
The ads are running for two weeks.
STORYBOARD/STYLE FRAMES BELOW:
A couple of weeks ago I visited Chatsworth House. Having not been before or for a very long time I was expecting the standard National Trust type old estate, country house experience. I was very much mistaken... The Devonshire Family and the Duke and Duchess particularly, have curated an engaging and interesting balance of their modern art collection balanced with the rich history and restoration of the original house and its features.
Highlights are a gold stripped back sculpture from Damien Hirst, Hockney's hung casually in the corridor (apparently they saw it hanging in the Whitechapel Gallery and bought it straight from the gallery wall to hang in the their living room!), as well as a walk in wardrobe type room filled works from with Picasso and Matisse.
Some of the other highlights are the painted optical illusions as well as the stories from the knowledgable staff throughtout the house.
The gardens are also great, and with both modern and classic artworks dotted throughout.
Check my photojournal for more images from the visit and weekend in the Peak District.
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.
Spotted by my main man in New York and shot by his main man, Grams.

Here's a cheeky little tease of some of the work to come from my recent shoot in NYC.
Reebok Classic - Club C 85 Vintage
Performance - Floatride Energy & Nano X1
Back at the end of 2019 and the start of 2021 I got to lead the creative for the launching premium capsule collection from Reebok, Reebok Reserve. This is an exclusive collection of faithful reproductions from the archive and modern twists on Classic silhouettes.
Aimed at the sneaker aficionado who truly appreciates the stories and minute details in a shoe. Whether its digging out the original 1983 sole mould from the Italian factory or adding fleece and washing instructions to create a truly cosy winter Workout!
Currently working on the latest Reserve Campaign, and I can't wait to share what has Reebok has Reserved for 2022.
