RIBA INTERNAL BRANDING BRIEF Internal communication : using the branded environment to communicate the RIBA’s core values

SOLUTION The RIBA asked us to come up with a way to communicate the newly developed strategic purpose, guiding principles and core values using internal communications applied to the environment as well as to staff hand-outs. The final graphic programme was applied to the walls in reception, plasma screen and light-boxes, the kitchens and staff-rooms, meeting rooms and to a staff hand out and HR folder.

SPAR - PROUD AS A PEACOCK

BRIEF Create a boutique networking event at which SPAR could talk to 30 key guests. This event took place during the South African Congress of Shopping Centres, 19 Sept 2012 and we were briefed to support SPAR as they sought to persuade property developers that SPAR is poised for growth and is a key and important player in the supermarket sector. ‘Create the most memorable and talked-about event of the congress’ was the client’s instruction.

SOLUTION | 2007 The event was themed ‘Proud as a Peacock’ and was brought to life at Harvey’s restaurant in Durban.

The venue was transformed in just 8 hours into a giant aviary, with surprising and unusual food that followed the avian theme and was served by a troupe of performers dressed as human peacocks made-up with a bizarre and surprising twists.

I am essentially a creative thinker with all the requisite skills needed to bring my concepts to life.

With a classical training in graphic design which included drawing, typography and concept generation, I am just as much at home refreshing a brand, developing a new consumer experience or creating an interactive environment.

I embrace creative briefs that challenge and stretch the knowledge and skills I have acquired over the last 15 years.

Equally adept at advertising, packaging, brand identities, brand strategy and all forms of visual communication (both on-line and off-line), I am very much a team player, enjoying and thriving upon the interaction with my colleagues.

I am constantly inspired by those I work with, and aim to inspire and mentor others, in return.
