I am a creative with over 19 years of experience in advertising, entertainment, sports and digital industries. My background is rooted in conceptual thinking, authentic brand storytelling and technology transference.
I have a wealth of experience in developing creative advertising and marketing campaigns for different industries to different consumer and business audiences. As a big believer in emotional storytelling, I’ve always strived to find those stories in whatever campaign, content or experience I create.
I have supported agencies on omnichannel briefs for brands like Google, Amazon, Sony, Unilever, P&G, Qatar Airways, Nestle, Starbucks, BA, McLaren F1, Mercedes F1, F1 Red Bull Racing, Sony PlayStation, Xbox, Sail GP, Fanta, Pringles and Duracell. I’ve also supported an NFT start-up, Sneaker Heads, to develop community fan-first digital campaigns to engage and drive purchase intent and conversation in the Metaverse.
