Creative Director at MJR Creative Limited
February 28, 2007 - Present
Working as a senior designer, art director and creative director in the design and advertising industry I've produced work for a diverse range of clients over many disciplines. I've helped launch companies, people and products, built brands and reputations, captured people's attention and pointed them in the right direction. I've even picked up a few awards along the way. I believe that everything, from branding to billboards, digital to direct mail works best when it has an idea at its' core. That's why I try to put an idea into everything I do, drawing on my experience to deliver creative solutions that answer questions, get noticed and resonate with the people they're supposed to. I can take work all the way from concepts on pads through to presentations and high res mac visuals.

    paper Design that makes training easier to swallow
    HiQ is a growing network of franchise based auto repair centres. And whilst they’re well known for their mechanical skills, it’s not such an easy task to bring everybody up to speed on the subject of data protection. To get employees to engage with this dry subject, we designed ‘The Cuppa Guides’ a series of informative books that promised to give the reader everything they needed to know in the time it takes to enjoy a cup of tea. Solid vector illustrations and easily digestible copy made learning attractive and engaging, and enabled brand consistency for an infinite number of future subjects.

    paper Creating a buzz about ventilation
    When Climate Centre sponsored The Ventilation Awards we saw an opportunity to build some excitement for the event with intelligent humour. The key visual was an instant winner, communicating the upcoming auspicious evening with a simple double-take twist that grabbed attention as well as likes and forwards.

    paper Door to door digital
    When TNT needed to inform existing customers of their digital information management ops, we kept things analogue with a traditional DM. By delivering a well known digital mail icon, using TNTs renowned delivery service, we literally put their new digital offering in the hands of their customers.

    paper Focus on the folding stuff
    Trucks aren’t bought by drivers, they’re purchased by FDs. To convince them that Scania is a good investment, we created a striking campaign that seeded the idea that you need to see how good they are on paper first. The result was a visually disruptive campaign that still had a beautiful vehicle shot front and centre. See the whole campaign at https://www.twine.net/signin resume graphicdesigner…
    paper Design that flexes more than its muscles
    Niki Haines Fitness is more than aesthetics. She has a perspective on a person’s complete fitness, so we gave her a complete, creative platform, enabling her to attract more customers and communicate her holistic approach to all.

    paper Finning Concept Campaign
    Finning’s Fluid Analysis services are crucial to keeping hard-working machinery, working hard. It’s an essential service that keeps businesses healthy, but its detailed benefits aren’t so easy to explain to would-be customers. So we created a social media campaign where the fluid itself conveyed the message. With simple speech bubble art direction, we could start a dialogue between consumer and the lifeblood of their workforce. Full project at https://www.twine.net/signin…
    paper Cooling Awards Concepts
    When sponsoring The Cooling awards, Climate Centre need to stand out from a crowd of technically-led ads. On every occasion we’ve created concepts that bring intelligent humour to the fore, and promotes a confident space that supports their industry leader status.

    paper A global language for BHX
    BHX Airport’s messaging was grounded in a local mindset, struggling to have a recogniseable voice amongst other UK airports. BHX is on a mission to expand, with new routes to china and India we gave them a platform that changed the conversation from regional convenience to global host. By shifting the narrative outward, the concept invited a dialogue between Birmingham and the world. And in doing so enabled us to bring strong brand consistency throughout all touchpoints.
