Iām a Planning Partner currently at Saatchi & Saatchi London.
Selected work.
Iām an award-winning Strategy Partner with 15+ years of experience in the social and creator space. My experience spans global, regional and local roles. Below is the TL;DR.
UN. The Peopleās Seat
We added a seat at the UN to allow people from all over the world to have their voices heard on climate change through social media ā 'The People's Seat'. A global network of influencers was recruited to invite their followers to voice their opinions on what climate actions they wanted world leaders to take. This user-generated content was crafted into the first Peopleās Seat Address, delivered at COP24 by Sir David Attenborough, and streamed live to the world.

EE Game. Meltdown Countdown
We partnered with Activision to launch the āHella Chillā Call of Duty operator skin just for EE customers. Reddit buzzed, YouTube blew up, and eBay bids soared.
To capitalise, we hit Twitch, dropping more codes for any gamer on any network. The catch, they had to tune in to watch a 6ft ice sculpture of Hella Chill meltāits speed tied to a streamerās Warzoneā¢ performance. Once it was gone, the codes were dropped in the chat.
š 100K+ gamers tuned in live. Codes claimed in 5 minutes.

EE. The Stage is Yours
TikTok is the worldās biggest stage. Partnering with BAFTA, we invited aspiring actors to showcase their talent for a shot at a major film role. Top Boy Micheal Ward led the challenge, while EEās TikTok shared tips from Hollywood stars. On BAFTA night, icons like Richard E. Grant spotlighted the competition on the red carpet.

Hope United is a team of top footballers coming together to tackle online hate. We launched them on TV and OOH ahead of the Euros.

We tracked online hate spikes throughout the tournament and responded to it with hope in press and paid social.
šHope United saw millions following, sharing and learning, receiving 1.6 billion impressions in the process.

Beats. The Game Starts Here
āThe Game Starts Hereā tells the pregame stories of three of rugbyās biggest athletes. For these athletes, the path to victory begins months before the tournament. They use Beats to prepare themselves mentally and physically to perform on the world stage. The campaign includes online films, print, OOH, on-the-ground activations, and content created in response to the tournamentās biggest moments.

IKEA. Airbnb at IKEA
Before bookstores, airlines and just about any brand you can think of partnered with Airbnb, we transformed an IKEA store into a fully functioning Bed & Breakfast, listed it on Airbnb and got global coverage for IKEAās new range of bedroom solutions in the process.

OAK. Reverse Robberies
OAK flavoured milk had a distribution problem and OAK's followers weren't happy. We asked them where they wanted OAK and then went to work. We published social content of 'Reverse Robbers' forcibly stocking the fridges of the most requested OAK-less stores. The data showed an entire state was crying out for OAK, so we headed to Queensland and 'Reverse Robbed' some more. Demand data was passed back to OAK, and the sales team did the rest.

Leviās. @iSpyLevis
Back in 2009, in what was Australia's first creative use of Twitter by a brand, we invented a real world game and mobile treasure hunt designed to get people talking about and wearing Leviās again. Hundreds of pairs of jeans were released onto the streets of Australia and New Zealand, worn by Leviās representatives. Twitter users could piece together clues to locate the jeans and instantly win a pair by asking the wearer, āAre those Leviās?ā.
