Is History Retweeting Itself?
The original brief for this show was to create one twenty second clip based promo. However for this creative, I wanted to think bigger and outside the box. My idea was to create a series of tweets from Henry VIII written in the vernacular of Trump that could extend beyond a single TV promo and become a campaign that covered print and social executions also.
This was a great example of generating a creative campaign beyond the original brief that was then backed by the show’s commissioner, creative director and the director of programming. They supported expanding it to a full TV promo campaign with multiple executions, print media spend to advertise in The Daily Telegraph, Metro (National) and Daily Mail and a social media campaign that involved creating a Henry VIII account to tweet Trump style tweets, to great acclaim. It was a success, BIGLY…bringing in 60% ABC1s!

Won Silver for Best Factual Originated at Promax UK 2020
Briefed to revitalise a long running series with a fresh take to draw in dwindling audiences in a 10 second spot. With no footage available, I found a solution that could stand out on air and still capture the essence of the show. We added 30% on slot for 16-34s with this more playful, less hard hitting approach.
