Spoke about Brand Worlds this week: not just making campaigns, but building something that actually holds.
Dusted off and brought out #ImPerfect for Esprit as proof. Nice to know it’s still doing the rounds in people’s memories.
Strong room, sharp conversations and plenty of nodding in the right places. Boom.

Thank you @alwayscreate.co

Most brands don’t have a world; they have a moodboard.
What does it really take to build a brand world that people want to step into, not just look at?

I’ll be speaking at Talent x Industry: Building Brand Worlds with Always Create — an evening bringing together freelance creatives and industry leaders to discuss emerging trends in brand storytelling.

It’s a great opportunity to meet other creatives, share ideas, and connect with people across design, experiential, content, and production.

📍 27th April, Mindspace Old Street, London
🎟️ Limited spots available

Would be great to see some of you there — tickets here:

Back in 2019, The Primacy of Image was essentially an observation of a shift: fashion moving away from constructed fantasy toward something more immediate, more “real”. A world where authenticity, relatability and speed began to outweigh artifice, mystery and craft. I was questioning whether, in our pursuit of selling more efficiently, we had flattened the image into something familiar, digestible and, perhaps, a little too safe.

Reading it now, it feels less like a time capsule and more like a warning shot.

In 2019, I was asking whether we’d traded fantasy for reality; in 2026, we’ve done something far stranger. We’ve industrialised fantasy and made reality optional. The “raw” and “authentic” have become just another aesthetic preset, while AI happily serves up hyper-polished unreality disguised as something eerily familiar.

We no longer document life or even idealise it. We generate it.
Which makes the real provocation this: if everything can be made instantly desirable, infinitely mutable and perfectly on-brand, where does taste – actual, human, fallible taste – sit?

Perhaps the job was never about choosing between artifice and authenticity, but about knowing when either still means something. Which, conveniently, is exactly the sort of question a good creative director should have been asking all along

I learnt that a good leader sets a North Star. One with a smiley face 😁

They create safety alongside ambition — and they understand that joy isn’t a distraction from serious work, it’s often the engine of it.

They have a sense of humour. They make room for play, curiosity and disagreement, and they are confident enough not to need to be the smartest person in the room.

High standards and warmth aren’t opposites. They’re partners.

Great work happens when people feel trusted, supported and challenged — and when problem-solving is approached with energy, openness and a genuine sense of enjoyment.

That’s the kind of environment I’ve always tried to build — one where rigour and play coexist — and the one I strive to build for when embarking on something new.

What kind of leadership do you think we need more of right now?

They have a sense of humour. They make room for play, curiosity and disagreement, and they are confident enough not to need to be the smartest person in the room.

High standards and warmth aren’t opposites. They’re partners.

Great work happens when people feel trusted, supported and challenged — and when problem-solving is approached with energy, openness and a genuine sense of enjoyment.

That’s the kind of environment I’ve always tried to build — one where rigour and play coexist — and the one I strive to build for when embarking on something new.

What kind of leadership do you think we need more of right now?

Creating disruptive brands isn’t about noise.

The most effective disruption comes from clarity — knowing what you stand for, what you’re willing to challenge, and what you’ll never compromise on.

The brands that endure don’t chase attention. They take a position and stay with it long enough for people to feel it.

Disruption, at its best, is considered. It’s cultural judgement paired with commercial courage.

That’s the work I’ve always been drawn to — building brands that dare to say something, not just sell something.

Thank you to the teams at @dirteaworld @dowze_official @etiql.official for being brave and collaborative!

Where are you seeing brands disrupt with intention rather than noise?

Most brands don’t have a creativity problem.
They have a clarity problem.

When the product is confused, the work gets louder.
When the strategy is vague, the campaign gets busier.
When leadership can’t articulate why, creativity is asked to perform magic tricks.

The best work I’ve been part of didn’t start with “what should we make?”
It started with “what do we stand for — and what are we prepared to say no to?”

Creative leadership isn’t about adding more.
It’s about removing the unnecessary until the idea can breathe.

I had the pleasure to work with the Liu Jo Men’s Collection team to arrive at a singular vision for who their Man is. His masculinity is sensual, human and approachable. He’s just a good-looking dude, one of the guys and is damn bloody stylish!

Curious how others are defining clarity inside their brands right now.

The fastest way to improve a brand’s storytelling?
Hero your core product.

When the product is right, communication becomes precise.
When it isn’t, marketing is asked to compensate.

I’ve always believed the strongest creative work comes from being close to product, design and leadership — not just the campaign briefing.

Because when what you’re making is culturally fluent and genuinely exciting,
the story doesn’t need exaggeration.
It just needs honesty.

Brand building gets a lot easier when the product does some of the heavy lifting.

Liu Jo prides itself on sexy denim. Following from their sentiment of Viviamo (living freely), we wanted to extend it to a feeling of synergy and solidarity. And nothing beats this feeling than when we dance!

The fastest way to improve a brand’s storytelling?
Hero your core product.

When the product is right, communication becomes precise.
When it isn’t, marketing is asked to compensate.

I’ve always believed the strongest creative work comes from being close to product, design and leadership — not just the campaign briefing.

Because when what you’re making is culturally fluent and genuinely exciting,
the story doesn’t need exaggeration.
It just needs honesty.

Brand building gets a lot easier when the product does some of the heavy lifting.

At any brand’s inception, there is an excitement for how much the product will sell. As a marketer, I strive to bring to light that when growth in sales becomes the only goal, meaning is the first casualty. Creating signals of meaning is key, not noise, distilling many ideas into one core reason for being. With strong meaning, brands become relevant and trusted. And most times, meaning can be so simple and a but-of-course moment, it works and explains itself physically and visually oh so easily.
