Our first fully pan-regional campaign for Air New Zealand. This time focussed on Premium Economy, to show how ahead of other airlines this cabin is.

Our first campaign for Air New Zealand Canada. We were tasked with persuading cold Canadians to head New Zealand for some Winter sun (being south of the hemisphere, their seasons are flipped). So we played off a well known but hardly discussed cultural insight: When Canadian’s see their geese flying South, they know they’re about…

I’ve just launched a new mobile web app which allows parents and kids to identify where the best areas are for trick or treating.

Another pitch we won was for Air New Zealand. We felt the airline industry’s staid, generic advertising needed a bit of a shake up and Air New Zealand were the company to do it. In opposition to Air France’s unrealistic, metaphorical display of air travel, BA’s stuffy, reserved art direction or Virgin’s dated punny headlines,…

Early on in my career, I was fortunate enough to be part of the team behind Dove’s Campaign For Real Beauty. It taught me a lot about what makes a message meaningful.
