Puggerfly

When Three made it free to use Snapchat without using up any of your data, we decided to make Snapchat better than ever before. So we invented the first ever Snapchat-pet, a Tamagotchi-style virtual pet that lives in the platform. Over 7 days, users played with, walked, cleaned up after and flew with their Pupperfly until it grew into to a fully grown Puggerfly.

To tell everyone about Puggerfly, we did other comms stuff. Like A TV ad, OOH, and a bunch of Snapchat ads. Someone even got a Puggerfly tattoo, but that wasn’t part of the media spend.

A White Christmas

TK Maxx knew that they needed something beyond a TV ad to make noise at Christmas. So, we stocked the biggest gift at the smallest price. An actual White Christmas, for absolutely nothing. Because that's what Christmas is all about, altering the weather in an isolated area for a 48 hour period.

We stocked 50 free White Christmases in TK Maxx stores all over Europe and online, in the form of a giant 3ft long snow globe. For those who found one, we showed up with snow machines, covering the house, garden, car, playground, school - wherever they chose with ridiculous amounts of snow.

#ViolenceIsViolence

40% of all domestic violence victims are male. However, male victims are often overlooked.

Which made the message simple: Violence is violence, no matter who it's aimed at. I filmed a social experiment to see if the public agrees, by testing how they react to a man hitting a woman, and vice versa.

The film currently has over 20 million views, with £0 media spend. And in one shot, you can see me in the background hitting on a man trying to have his lunch.

#fooddancing

After 35 years with their the incumbent agency, we were lucky enough to win the Sainsbury's pitch. Our first campaign was straight from it. It was designed to give Sainsbury's back their food mojo, with a new tone of voice and art direction that bucked category norms.

With a fully integrated campaign, including a track and music video, we celebrated '#fooddancing is living well'.

As if a Londoner would ever stop

Mo Farah was retiring from the track, but not the road. We celebrated this unstoppable spirit. An spirit found in all Londoners through a turbulent year of attacks.

We dropped a 25m wide OOH right outside the London Olympic Stadium, right after Mo crossed the finish line of his final race.

Mouth

Kids hate advertising. So instead we made a freaky purple mouth, got DJ Khaled to make a song with it live on his Snapchat, a Snapchat lens, a bunch of weird films, a one-of-a-kind content partnership with Adult Swim, and a helluva lotta social posts.

Lucky enough to spend time making this with Freddy Taylor, Paddy Treacy, Mark Shanley, Hollie Walker and Freddie Powell. 

Little Dramas

A series of idents for Sainsbury's sponsorship of Showcase Drama on ITV. Lovingly made with Philippa Beaumont and Freddy Taylor.

Red November

Scrollathon

Three wanted to be part of the conversation around the London Marathon.

Scrollathon enables anybody to get involved in a mobile marathon on a dedicated Instagram account. Fastest person to scroll to the bottom, wins.

Fathers' Day

Barclays briefed a Father’s Day print ad to be turned around in 24 hours.

“Something about dads.”

Ridiculous possibilities

To support TK Maxx's new creative direction, 'Ridiculous Possibilities', I made a few special build installations across Europe. I never saw them in person, but I heard they looked good.

One was a real bathtub on a wall and and the person's legs moved and everything. What an absolutely ridiculous (yet possible) sight it was.

The other was of a woman trapped in a giant tube filled with flowers. I did once see a picture of it and it didn't look as horrifying as it sounds.
