We also worked closely with them giving the brand a visual face lift making sure all their assets were unmistakably Hayu.

To support Sheba’s involvement in the world’s largest coral restoration program, AMV developed Sheba Hope Reef as part of the integrated global campaign HOPE GROWS.
The 150 ft long reef, which spells out the word HOPE, is a thriving coral reef, planted in August 2019 on a site of dead coral rubble on the coast of Sulawesi, Indonesia. This living billboard is now discoverable on Google Maps & Google Earth, plus viewable underwater in Google Street View.
Throughout my time at AMV I have been involved in various parts of Hope Reef, from the very beginning thinking about how it will live on social media to recruiting Ocean Advocates as part of the latest activity.

To help Martini launch Fiero I created a suite of social first assets showcasing the ease of the 50/50 Fiero and Tonic pour.
As part of it I created assets that played around with the Instagram and Facebook platforms making it seem like the drinks literally break out of the picture creating real thumb stopping content.
I also created the Martini Giphy.com channel to allow people to access custom made GIF stickers through Instagram and Snapchat.

Kellogg’s iconic Chocovore character loves chocolate, so we came up with unique way to allow people to feed him live on Twitch.
We created a custom drone chocolate delivery system and custom UI which allowed viewers to command the drone and ultimately decide when the chocolate should drop into the huge Chocovore mouth.
Every time they managed to feed the Chocovore the drone would ascend higher and higher.
The show was hosted by @justriadh and we teamed up with a host of local influencers to drive awareness of the game.

Christmas is a big deal at Tesco.
This is why they try to make their food as helpful as possible, whether thats party food that all cooks at the same temperature or ham that smokes itself.
I was responsible for the 2016 Christmas campaign on social media.
There were two challenges that kept coming up, hosting a Christmas party for a lot of people and cooking the big Christmas dinner when you're an inexperienced cook.
I created a campaign around the thought "If we can do it here, you can definitely do it at home" to show how helpful the Tesco Christmas food is.
The campaign was created as a mobile first experience.
The two films have became the most viewed films on Tesco's Facebook channel.

I first worked with Agent Provocateur in the early days of the internet, before the days of WordPress and terms like “Snaps” and Social Media had been invented.
I was at an agency called Wax New Media and Agent Provocateur was a tiny one shop business in London, Soho.
Wax built their first ever “online store” and it was an enormous success, this at a time when buying things online was about as normal as going to space is today.
Through the years I went to different agencies and ended up working with Agent Provocateur over and over again by chance.
During this time the brand became famous, it expanded and became a “global super brand” (not my words) always listed as one of the coolest brands on the planet.
I started working with them directly doing events like club nights, concerts and shows.
Eventually Agent Provocateur asked me if I could take over the creative account and I set up my own agency to service them.
The work produced was to launch their 2009 range and we conceived a campaign around Superheroines, creating a character for each product line with their own unique superpowers.
We shot films showcasing each superheroine and their special powers and created a comic book telling the backstory and also doubling up as a catalogue.
For the launch of the campaign to get people talking we did a stunt at Selfridges in London where characters from the comic paraded outside the department store.
We also completely revamped the Agent Provocateur website to reflect the campaign.
