VISION NINE
Creative Director • Oct 2015–Present
37 Shelton Street, London, WC2H 9HN

Festivals / Clients: Boardmasters, NASS, BBC, Puma, Three Mobile, Superdry, Corona, Relentless, Coca Cola
I am currently Creative Director at Vision Nine, the innovative, award-winning events and marketing agency in Covent Garden. Vision Nine produce independent festivals such as Boardmasters and NASS, as well as managing and delivering events on behalf of world renowned lifestyle and entertainment brands such as Puma, Three Mobile, Coca Cola and Relentless. As Creative Director, I lead the in-house creative team that works across all parts of the business, overseeing the festival brands (branding, marketing, merchandise, onsite delivery and sponsor incorporation), wider brand portfolio and client projects. Boardmasters, the 55,000 capacity surf and music festival in Cornwall, and NASS, a 20,000 capacity action sports festival outside Bristol, have both had their branding revisited and refreshed. I have overseen the development of multiple sister brands for Boardmasters, including an IPA beer product, charity and surf holiday brand. For the onsite festival decor, I am responsible for the creative vision, the briefing process, managing various suppliers and onsite managers, budget control and debriefs. The role also includes internal brand supervision, that has also involved a full brand redesign.

IncrediBull was an award-winning brand marketing agency based on Cheapside, London.

The role included internal brand supervision, and led to a new look and feel for IncrediBull, including messaging, visuals and guidelines. I was also responsible for an overhaul of the design team's working practices, which included a new server based asset management system and file naming structure.
