The brief
The UK population are in a savings crisis. According to the DWP, half of households have less than £1,000 in savings. As a population, we’ve disconnected from the importance of providing for our future.
Aviva and SapientRazorfish aim to challenge the industry status quo and help people on their first steps towards financial ‘good thinking’. This strategically-led approach, developed collaboratively, seeks to evolve and accelerate a global digital customer experience that focuses on customer insights, genuinely supportive content and innovative products.
The creative idea
Are you Captain Savvy or a Daydream Believer - meet the savings superheroes
How do you creatively engage an apathetic audience? With strategically-led and creatively inspiring content, so the overall customer experience is truly enhanced.
SapientRazorfish created ten ‘superheroes’ to encourage a playful exploration of savings habits in a non-pressured way. By answering some friendly and accessible questions, participants discovered their ‘savings superhero’. Each character detailed their savings super powers, as well as their nemesis and weaknesses. It also gave a recommendation to help them change their savings behaviour.

In 2014 we collaborated with Havas Worldwide London to create a social enterprise platform and launch it globally for Chivas Regal. We came up with ‘The Venture’, a $1 million fund to support up-and-coming social entrepreneurs. Aspiring entrepreneurs can apply to The Venture by submitting their business ideas at TheVenture.com with the prospect of gaining the funding to make their ideas happen. The site also features daily editorial providing news and advice on social entrepreneurship.
As Design Director on this project, I was responsible for the overall digital design language and team at AnalogFolk. As part of this project I also created the branding for the campaign.

This is a selection of work from AnalogFolk London that I have been an integral part of during my six years with the company. The work ranges from platform builds, products, animation and global campaigns for some of the recognisable brands in the world.
In my time at AnalogFolk, the company has gone through huge growth and development. I have acted as Design Director, Creative Director, Creative Lead and Art Director throughout many projects but the level of success we have reached could never have been achieved if it were not for the talent of the people around me.
THE BRIEF
Our close relationship with the umbrella brand Pernod Ricard meant we were approached by Polish Vodka brand Luksusowa to redesign their website. The key factor for their new brand positioning "The man’s vodka” would be the inspiration for this project.
WHAT WE DID
With a collaboration between UX, copy and design, we developed an idea to launch the Luksusowa website around ‘The Man's Guide to Manliness'. These would provide manly instructions, including ‘how to wear a beard’, ‘how to assemble furniture’ and ‘how to choose a fridge’.
As we developed the idea further, my main focus as Design Director was finding an illustrator that could bring these comical tips to life. Renowned illustrator Mr Bingo was my first call as he seemed as excited as we were and we knew his quirky and comedic style would lend itself to the “manly” nature of the project. To increase the level of engagement, users could share tips with friends via Facebook, Twitter and Google+.

These are a selection of screens developed for a winning pitch presentation to HSBC.
The brief was to rethink the HSBC Customer Care Team's interface design and system using current and future technology for a launch in 2017.
The main objective of this project was to shoot for the stars and push the boundaries of what was possible to inspire and ignite the possibilities of this platform.
As Design Director on this project I oversaw the UX designer, Senior designer and senior freelance designer. I did the initial Art Direction and Look and Feel and led the team from the initial briefing through to the pitch. This work was well received and was commissioned as project that would be brought forward and started immediately.
THE BRIEF
To create a global launch campaign for a new summer edition of the Malibu bottle.
WHAT WE DID
Our idea was to create a Malibu Sun Lens app that would allow users to add the Sun to their photos whatever the weather. This could also then be turned into an animated GIF and shared within social platforms. The GIFs were also added to our ever-changing animated GIF film. Working with the renowned photographer Cass Bird, we produced eye-catching print ads and collaborated with her on the photographic effects.
As Design Director, I helped to develop the creative idea with the team from start to finish, drawing scamps to sell the overall art direction into the client. I was then given the responsibility to creatively lead this project alongside our copywriter, Neil Starr.

THE BRIEF
As sponsors of the WTA, Sony Ericsson wanted to be the first sports association to embrace the growing popularity of social networks, and to create an even stronger connection between the players and their fans.
WHAT WE DID
This was a really exciting opportunity for AnalogFolk to work with Sony Ericsson and the Women's Tennis Association. As part of a creative team, we developed an idea to build a social platform that makes it possible to get closer than ever before to your tennis idols and rewarded those 'Superfans' along their journey.The website provides a single destination for real-time aggregated and consolidated social media feeds from all the top WTA players. We created a website which keeps tabs on every tweet, Facebook post, Instagram photo and YouTube video that the players add to their social media channels and interact with the players themselves.
