  • My favourite digitally powered campaigns of 2023 (and some from 2022)

    The Bluees really struck a chord. Great use of AI. Faux CGI is everywhere now but this Maybelline had me fooled! The Ballot Bin by Manchester City Council. What a great way to get people to use the bins! Need to install this in my street for all the school kids who don’t seem to…

  • Faux OOH: So Hot Right Now

    Seems like everywhere I look, I’m witnessing some faux advertising stunts unfolding before my very own eyes (or is it my eyes). First, it was Maybelline with their quirky eyelashes strewn all over London. I was so disappointed to find out that it wasn’t real. Then came the giant Jacquemus handbags: And now, even giant…

  • With Great AI Power Comes Great Responsibility

    Just recently, we were working on creating speculative brand materials for an autism charity, and I decided to test what AI would generate with the same task. And the results… They were bad. Like, really bad. The results it gave me used a jigsaw piece. At best, it’s a lazy concept. But actually, it’s much…

  • Play before you stay

    Stumbled upon this brilliant piece of digital activity in which kids can explore Table Mountain in South Africa in Roblox. Both of my kids play Roblox, and I recently helped them build their first Roblox game. It’s very intuitive and fun to make a simple ‘Obby’ (obstacle course). I’m also thinking about how kids can…

    Stabyl – a browser that adjusts for tremors

    Whilst doing some research on innovative accessibility I came across the wonderful app Staybl – an app that counters tremors caused by Parkinson’s. Such a simple idea but could be incredibly beneficial to so many people. It had never crossed my mind that people who suffer from hand tremors would have difficulty with this type…
