Value Lives HereSt.George Bank · OOH, social, integrated.2024
Redefining St.George as the home of value.
After three years of silence, St.George didn't need another home loan ad. They needed a comeback. We gave their most iconic asset (Little Dragon) something he'd never had before: a home. A simple idea that turned a functional home loan package into a moment of brand love. The platform rolled out nationally across OOH, retail, social and CRM, reframing value from a rate into something more human—a place to put down roots. It became an unmissable presence on streets and screens, driving a massive lift in engagement and applications.
Building a loyalty sub-brand that's bursting with the good stuff.
Most banking rewards feel like points purgatory—flat, functional, and forgettable. So instead of launching another safe loyalty scheme, we came bursting onto the scene with something different: a name, a voice and a world designed to bring energy back to everyday spend.
From coffee to groceries to late-night pizza, we made rewards feel immediate, tangible and a little more fun—not something you save, but something you feel. The platform rolled out nationally across OOH, digital, in-app and CRM, right down to personalised in-app moments—all led by a hero line that actually delivered on its promise.

Designing a journey of transformation.One NZ (formerly Vodafone) · Employee brand launch2023
How we brought Vodafone all the way home.
Vodafone was becoming One NZ — and its people had to believe it before the country ever did. We turned a one-day onboarding into a 100-day experience, with seven department films, an internal launch day, and a brand rooted in the nature of Aotearoa itself, so every new starter arrived into the brand feeling like they were part of it, not just joining it.

Go DairyDairyNZ · Farm-hand recruitment2022
How we told paralysed 18–25s to just pick a lane.
Thousands of no-experience-required farm-hand roles were going unfilled while city kids sat frozen by too much career choice. So we built a fluid, frictionless recruitment brand that literally gave them direction — Just Go Dairy — and pointed them straight at the jobs they didn't know they wanted. 8M+ impressions, 96K clicks.
Danger In DisguiseFonterra · Health & safety campaign2023
How we made the most boring object in a factory impossible to ignore.
Across hundreds of milk-processing sites, Fonterra's biggest risk wasn't the machinery — it was familiarity. A campaign that caught the peril hidden in the most everyday objects and made it impossible to unsee, running internally across every site to keep wits sharper than the hazards.
A name, a voice, and a rallying cry for a creative-content studio.
Heart Department is the conduit between brands and their audiences — a studio built for digital cinematic storytelling where the craft meets the heart, soul and visceral emotion captured on film. I wrote the name, built the voice and landed the line.

The Renovation MentorOnline interior-design learning platform2024
A brand for people who don't want to renovate twice.
An online learning platform built on three pillars — inspiration, empowerment, and the practical. I named it, shaped the strategy and wrote the voice, because renovating your home shouldn't require a degree in architecture.
