Account Director

July 2010 - April 2013 (2 years 9 months)
I worked on our flagship account- the BBC, as well as on campaigns for the UK government, Digital Radio UK, Volvic and iStockphoto a micro-stock library.

On the BBC I worked on a career highlight so far - the BBC’s trailers, title sequences, theme music and marketing collateral for their exclusive coverage of the London 2012 Olympic games. It was an amazing opportunity to affect the way the whole of the UK experiences the biggest sporting event of our lives . So far the campaign has been given pick of the day/week in Campaign, Creativity and Adweek and our Torch film featured in the opening ceremony.

I also led communications for the Future Media division which includes BBC iPlayer, bbc.co.uk as well as Digital Radio. I led the 'Where Next?' innovation campaign which was the BBC's first brand campaign for 5 years. I am immensely proud to have worked on the BBC, and revelled in the opportunity to not only create award winning campaigns but also help communicate the future of the corporation.

I worked on Microsoft, Tiffany & Co, and Nestle accounts.

For Microsoft and Tiffany I worked with McCann SF and Tiffany in NY to create global work that played out across the EMEA region as well as UK specific campaigns. A highlight was creating the first ever interactive text to screen campaign at a live sport event in the UK during the Rugby internationals.

On Nestle Cereal I managed the flag-ship Shreddies ‘Knitted by Nanas’ campaign that included one of the first FMCG Facebook campaigns in the UK.

I was the company’s ‘mobile evangelist’, RAB radio champion, industry charity representative and judge of the national radio awards. I took part in the EMEA academy for the rising stars in the company across Europe.
