My “extra-curricular” projects are here.
Latest project & client news (approximately last 18 months) [to be updated soon]
- 3 projects I led, designed by Niqui Harwood and Chris Stolberg, have made it into the corporate identity issue of prestigious Russian design magazine [kAk] (out of 4 Brandinstinct projects featured in that issue). Pagani, Saffronart, NCCMH.
- Budapest Bank – It took less than a year from the launch of the new brand strategy and less than three months from the launch of the brand identity and they have moved from number 5 to number 2 for top of mind recognition. Not bad for a #7 player. This must be thanks to one of the most considered and engaged implementations of a branding programme that I’ve been a part of.
- Spoke about “Emerging practices in strategic branding” in in Romania (as well as gave my advanced narrative marketing seminar again).
- Pasta Pagani & Budapest Bank launch. With BB, the strategy was launched before the identity and resulted in a highly successful and loved campaign. It’s fun when other people play so nicely with your ideas. The Pagani project includes a “pantone fan for pasta”, possibly the favourite single deliverable of my career.
- Brandinstinct’s new site launches, showcasing many of my projects with the agency. The about us section is a wordpress blog.
- Here is a case study for the massive Say telecom shops project. This will become one of Europe’s largest telecom retail chains.
- Wrote an article for Brandinstinct’s newsletter about some of my Marketing Plots related ideas. If you read this blog, much of it will be familiar.
- Saffronart, Brandinstinct’s first project in India, which I landed and led, launched. We did brand strategy, brand identity and designed some power apps. More info and client quotes.
- Greenindex, consumer environmental labelling project.
- Pro-Bono project for NCCMH, the National Collaboration Centre for Mental Health. Mini identity and guideline book covers design.
- FoxyTunes sold to Yahoo, I helped craft their brand strategy and positioning, as well as created various tag-lines for them and wrote a draft for their manifesto.
