Working with a team across three different time zones, on the MVP of an app whose aim is to spread trusted, timely, and local COVID-19 news and guidelines to under-served minority-language communities. Pitching just the right brand voice for what is necessarily a diverse target user group; switching back and forth between languages for the prototype content; and keeping up with the fast-moving pace of the pandemic and government reactions to it - all these were always going to need agile and creative solutions. Luckily that's what we and the Linqua team thrive on, and we loved every minute of it. Visit Linqua .
Website content Video script We developed online content for FastMovers that reflected their core vision and plans for growth, with SEO and dynamism in mind.

We used the same tone and key messaging for our second FastMovers project, writing a script for their international sales video. Visit FastMovers .
I just love Heineken’s marketing.  A month ahead of the climax to the best club competition in the world, Heineken have started to plug the UEFA Champions League final with a brand new ‘storytelling’ commercial shot in Spain. A costly exercise but it helped building and delivering the story across the world as the video has had more than 1.8 million views. Think big ;) If you liked this then take a look at Heineken’s ' Social media challenge - Meet the World in One City ', ' Football Vs Girlfriends ', ' THINK BIG KARAOKE ' and the awesome ' Surprise Roulette '.

Evolve  is an American association that promotes gun safety and the reduction of gun violence, and it is primarily concerned with violence that comes from any casual behaviors related to firearms, as we too often hear on media. Evolve came up with a very smart campaign with a very clear message; “if they find it, they’ll play with it.” This message targets adults but the campaign uses kids. Kids find everything, their toys...and yours.  A very well executed campaign (by creative agency McCann), and quite funny too. Watch the video, will bring you a smile and...make you think.

“Think of someone you need to resolve a conflict with, and invite them to dinner.” It’s an ancient tradition; get together over a meal is the first step to resolving conflict. Recipeace  is a social movement that brings people together over food. The intent is to build awareness for Peace Day on a global scale, while inspiring peaceful action on an individual level. The campaign, rolled out on September 21 (Peace Day) by Leo Burnett Chicago, is asking chefs, restaurants, food ambassadors and foodies around the world to join the Recipeace movement by cooking a meal inspired by recipes that have resolved conflict in history. Nice concept, simple and effective as you can see from the visuals below.

It’s no secret that social media has transformed the way people communicate in the workplace. Internal communications developed significantly since the days of simple staff memos, emails and newsletters. Even instant messaging, support forums and intranets which represent a modern way for different offices and departments to connect seem outdated. How is social media taking over? Could be a long list but I’ll mention two examples; one, from Nokia, shows that experimenting, making and correcting mistakes, and sticking to a belief or vision pays off. The second example, from TBWA, is just so cool that makes you want to work there. Nokia is probably a pioneer as social media has a long history within the company. Back in 2001, the company launched an internal site called Jazz Cafe as a kind of informal discussion forum. This was followed by discussion forums and wikis to share expertise. As you can see from the timeline below, the company has experimented multiple formats and platforms, s
