A chilling Sky Documentary series from master storytellers RAW TV. A small neighbourhood is shocked to find a body hidden in plain sight. The campaign needed to unpack the haunting mystery while carefully not revealing the jaw-dropping twists and turns along the way.
A powerful Sky Documentary exploring how extreme content is weaponised for profit. The creative campaign needed to unpack Andrew Tate as a case study for a much broader systemic issue.

Amsterdam Narcos charts the city's explosive transformation from a countercultural haven into the drug capital of Europe. The promotional campaign needed to capture both the hedonistic rise of the city’s underground rave scene and the dark reality of its violent kingpins.
To launch Sky Crime’s documentary, I worked with a composer to re-record a familiar nursery rhyme to sound like a distorted ice cream truck chime. This was a direct nod to West using his ice cream van to groom victims in Glasgow.

For this powerful Netflix and CI documentary I used the idea of sound waves to visually anchor the recorded testimonies of death row inmates.

Emilia Fox was front and centre of this campaign. I had the pleasure of directing her for the 360 campaign elements.
