Ogilvy

Bringing digital expression into established campaign ideas.

As Creative Director I helped teams translate strong brand platforms into screen based expressions that complemented traditional strengths and created purposeful interactions across digital environments.

Creating Digital Interpretations

I worked with teams to evolve central ideas into content and interactions suited to online behaviour. This required intentional adaptation, shaping pieces that felt native to screens rather than reformatted versions of work created for other channels.

Integrating Into Workflow

Teams were structured around film and print. I joined early to identify digital opportunities that aligned with their habits, helping ideas expand without disrupting established processes or adding unnecessary complexity to production.

Crafting Screen Based Work

We focused on interaction, pacing, and clarity so digital pieces felt meaningful and well built. This attention helped ensure each execution held purpose, supporting the broader idea rather than appearing as an obligatory online extension.
