Comfort

Turning a tired childhood mascot into a fashion icon.

Unilever asked Ogilvy a tough question: how do you make an outdated Turkish laundry brand memorable to a generation that doesn't care about laundry but lives for their clothes? Yumos, known as Comfort, Huggie and Cajoline in other markets, had a small bear mascot the client wanted to retire. I pushed back. Every kid in Turkey grew up with that bear. The equity was rare and worth protecting. The smarter move was to evolve him the way style itself evolves. The bear stopped being a relic of childhood and became a reflection of the person wearing their favourite clothes. Fashion changes. Yumos stays.

I led creative ideation, visual identity and art direction across the campaign. Drawing on streetwear culture, I repositioned the bear as a collectible character with charm, wit and attitude. His look shifted with each scene, mirroring the wearer rather than the product. Every frame was built to feel less like a laundry ad and more like a fashion drop.

Once a mascot stuck in the past, Yumos became a cultural character audiences wanted to engage with. The campaign gained momentum across social and digital, with users sharing their own Yumos-inspired moments. Pop-ups and activations drew crowds and built immersive brand experiences.

ASICS

Can movement uplift the UK's saddest town?

ASICS' global philosophy, sound mind, sound body, needed a platform with the legs to live beyond a single campaign. Research told us three-quarters of UK adults needed a mental uplift, and that Retford in Nottinghamshire carried the lowest average mood in the country. Rather than tell people movement changes how they feel, we decided to prove it. For one day, Retford became Upliftford. The entire town turned into a movement-inspired gym, built for the everyday person, not the athlete. Mental health charity Mind came on as a partner, grounding the activation in real expertise.

I led the art direction across the activation, shaping how Upliftford looked, moved, and photographed. From the identity system and town-wide signage to the campaign film and stills, the visual world had to feel warm, human, and unmistakably ASICS. Every touchpoint, from a banner on a lamppost to a hero film frame, was designed to make movement feel inviting rather than performative.

National press coverage. 18 million views across social and digital. 37 million digital impressions. Purchase intent up 79 percent in the UK. Market share up 5 percent.

“The reach of the campaign 
and impact on market share and purchasing intent exceeded expectations”

Philips

Cooking for the toughest food critics in the house

With the air fryer category booming, Philips briefed us to launch their family-sized model across Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The toughest audience wasn't the parent buying the product. It was the child eating from it. Previous Philips kitchen campaigns leaned on adult-led product demos and felt stale against rising competition. So we flipped the script. Kids became the stars, taking charge of mealtimes while parents took a well-earned backseat. Filmed from a child's perspective, the campaign captured post-game hangouts and friends gathered around healthy meals made easy. The message landed simply: Philips is the go-to for happier, healthier family eating.

I led campaign ideation and art direction alongside the wider creative team, shaping casting, styling and the child's-eye visual language that ran through the work. Every frame had to feel honest, with food that was genuinely healthy, portions that made sense for kids, and a tone with wit and charm rather than gloss.

A digital-first campaign running across TV cutdowns and social, with each touchpoint built to drive desire, consideration and conversion. Philips moved from product demo to family storytelling.

ASICS

Blast on. Blast off.

To launch the FF Blast range, we extended ASICS' global platform, Nothing Feels Better, into a campaign built around energy return. The product gives you that extra step. The thinking gave that step a feeling. Put your Blast on, blast off into the world. The work targeted the audience who don't yet understand what movement does for them, finding the moment when activity feels like the last thing you want to do, and reframing it. Running in the rain? Where others see weather, we see confetti. Uplift starts at the feet. Every step delivers a blast of positive energy.

Having moved on from the agency by launch, my contribution centred on the key messaging and the creative and visual styling that shaped the campaign world. The visual system carried a global toolkit across print, brand film, social, key visuals, landing pages and point of sale, anchoring the product as the source of the energy on screen.

Sales for the Blast foam range rocketed in 2022. A carefully built marketing campaign, paired with creative key visuals, drove the sound mind, sound body message home and translated brand philosophy into commercial momentum.

Saeco

Rispetto per il Caffè

In Italy, coffee isn't a drink. It's a ritual. Saeco, a brand built on Italian craftsmanship, was losing ground to lifestyle-driven rivals like Nespresso and needed to reclaim its position as the true expert. The strategy was simple. While others sold convenience, Saeco would sell respect. Respect for tradition, for the craft, for the materials, for the moment. We built Rispetto per il Caffè around one truth: great coffee deserves it. From bean to cup, Saeco machines capture the essence of authentic Italian coffee culture, delivering something as close to a barista-made espresso as possible, at the touch of a button.

I led art direction across the campaign, shaping a visual world rooted in heritage and precision rather than lifestyle gloss. Material, texture, light and detail became the language. The work was designed to feel less like an appliance ad and more like an editorial on Italian craftsmanship, repositioning Saeco as the choice for connoisseurs who care about every step of the process.

Saeco moved from chasing the lifestyle category to owning the craftsmanship one, with a campaign that spoke directly to the audience who values coffee as culture, not commodity.

Reset Health

Shaping the future of chronic care

How do you build one brand the NHS and pharma can both buy?

Reset Health is a healthtech platform redefining how chronic conditions, particularly obesity, are treated at scale. When I joined as founding creative, the company had a clinical model that worked and a brand that wasn't keeping up with where commercial was selling. The work had to speak fluently to four very different buyers. National health systems wanted evidence and process. Pharmaceutical partners wanted outcomes data and shared credibility. Employers wanted workforce health ROI. Private providers wanted a patient-facing story that felt human. Each one buys differently, governs differently and judges credibility differently. The job was to build a single brand that could carry clinical authority into every one of those rooms, without losing the human truth of the care model underneath.

I positioned the company around its proprietary care model and the Reset Technology Platform that powers it, and rebuilt the brand from that foundation up. Every piece of creative had to pass through a regulatory layer most brand work never touches. ASA rules on health claims, CQC requirements on clinical communication, pharmaceutical industry codes on co-branded materials, and the internal medical and legal review that sits on top of all of it. The craft is figuring out how to make work that still feels human, considered and ownable, when the words you can use, the claims you can make and the imagery you can show are all on a tighter leash than almost any other category.

From the first 50 patients to more than 80,000 across the UK, Europe and Malaysia. Partnerships with Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk and IQVIA. Commissioned by the NHS, TfL and Network Rail. A NICE recommendation for Roczen, and HSJ Partnership Awards for Best Partnership Supporting Personalised Care Pathways and Best Partnership Delivering Virtual Care.

I lead brand and creative across the business, working end to end with product, sales, commercial and clinical teams. The role spans brand strategy, visual identity, website, campaign work, sales collateral and the bid and pitch work that wins partnerships. Holding the brand steady while the business moves fast, and making sure every touchpoint earns its place.
