Weatherbys Private Bank

‘Banking that knows you’

~ With M&K Design 

Copywriting‍ ‍ Brand development‍ ‍Messaging framework

Weatherbys believes banking should be personal – built on knowledge and understanding that goes beyond the numbers. Working with M&K Design, I brought that belief to life through a new tone of voice, brand narrative and messaging, all centred around one core idea: ‘Banking that knows you’. The result is copy that feels warm, insightful and distinctly human. Banking with personality, you might say.

‘My Clarins, my nature’

~ With Haygarth

Copywriting‍ ‍ Creative concept‍

How do you make Clarins click with a generation who think it’s a brand for their mum? Give them something that feels entirely their own. Working with Haygarth, I helped create an integrated campaign that went beyond skincare, tapping into individuality, self-expression and a new way for younger consumers to explore what makes them unique.

M&S Bank

‘The credit card that loves you back’

~ With Whippet

Working with Whippet, I helped shape a new brand identity for M&S Bank, starting with a new strategic positioning: ‘Be less financial services, be more M&S’. From there, I helped create a messaging framework and copy that left the usual banking speak behind, focusing less on selling a credit card and more on the feelings and experiences it could unlock.

M&S Café wanted a rebrand fit for a young and hungry audience. So, working with Whippet, I helped create a refresh that felt more hospitality than supermarket.

Vyne 

Bold, refreshing and unique, Vyne is a botanically infused sparkling water with a difference. Working with Brand Opus and Molson Coors, I helped create a new brand from scratch – with a name rooted in nature, and copy designed to draw in curious drinkers. 



Huzzah 

A probiotic seltzer for people who live life out loud needed a name to match. Enter Huzzah! I worked on the naming, positioning and messaging for a bold new brand designed to shake up a sea of seltzer sameness. Energetic, enthusiastic and never short of something to celebrate.
