Challenge: Create experiences that you can’t physically attend

 
 

Experiential, Elevated

 
 

Hello! I’m James, a Creative Director with over 20 years of experience from advertising through to experiential marketing. I use my time in the ad world as a secret weapon to create brand experiences today that don't just stand out, but strategically fit seamlessly into bigger communication efforts.

By weaving stunning live experiences, storytelling and content together, my approach ensures that every activation is more than memorable, shareable and succesful - it’s a calculated move aligned with the broader objectives of major brands at the highest levels.

I create and deliver the difference between an event and a real experience.

 
 

Don’t take my word for it

 
James is in my top 3 creatives to work with as a strategic planner. He can pivot seamless between creative direction and big picture concepting, into designer detail and executional excellence. James always thinks of the user and the audience at the heart of his ideas, making his work not only beautiful, but relevant and effective.

James, my observation of you is that when you’re around things happen, and they don’t when you’re not.

I was fortunate enough to work directly into James at Imagination. Best CD I’ve ever had, collaborated with and learnt from. It was a real pleasure to be a part of his team and James’ input elevated every single project to unforeseen levels. A strategic, creative leader, and even jumps on the tools every now and then!
