About: 

Bringing artists and brands together

I work with global brands to create and deliver strategic partnerships across art & culture - that drive measurable impact across a brand's marketing, PR & retail channels​

I identify, develop and lead strategic partnerships between global brands and artists, designers, creators, tastemakers & cultural institutions. ​ Examples can include:

 

  • large-scale group exhibitions and programme of events

  • artist collaborations

  • multi-disciplinary exhibitions

  • large-scale murals

  • art installations

 

- that are produced in partnership with, or commissioned by brands.

Experience

I  have produced and delivered over 150 brand-sponsored or commissioned cultural activations across the UK and internationally, working with brands including Google, Canon, Tanqueray and Volkswagen at venues including Somerset House, the Saatchi Gallery, the Natural History Museum and South Bank in London; GCHQ, Hyundai Gallery Seoul, Times Square New York and the Sydney Opera House; and for events such as the Olympic Games London 2012 and the Queen's Diamond and Platinum Jubilees.

​​I spent ten years leading Brand Partnerships at Warner Bros. Pictures, creating and delivering strategic partnerships between global brands such as Toshiba, Mercedes-Benz, Moët & Chandon, and major film releases including Great Gatsby, Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes and Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight franchise.

Building a mutually beneficial partnership

between artists and brands

From concept to delivery, I work closely with brands and artists to deliver partnerships that generate compelling storytelling opportunities across PR, social media and owned and earned channels, driving measurable value across audience engagement and visibility ensuring advantages and benefits to all parties involved.

ARTISTS gain the support and opportunity to explore new creative concepts, showcase their work and reach wider audiences.

A BRAND gains the benefit of increased: 

  • Brand visibility & awareness

  • Earned media

  • Cultural relevance

  • Audience engagement

  • Social amplification

  • Retail experiences & footfall​

An artist's perspective

I am also a practising artist and silkscreen printmaker, and this gives me a unique perspective. It informs how I approach every partnership — with an understanding of both the creative process and the practical realities of delivering work at scale.

 

I love working with paint and materials — and that knowledge helps me understand how best to showcase artists' work, how to give artists an optimum platform and also be able to support artists and help solve creative challenges or practical issues along the way.

I am passionate about nurturing emerging talent as well as working with established artists, and believe the best cultural partnerships are built on genuine creative collaboration.

A global outlook

I am lucky enough to be based in Dorset since 2020, surrounded by the beauty of the Jurassic Coast whilst having a global outlook.

 

From Dorset I have worked with brands on successful cultural partnerships, exhibitions and activations that have taken place across the UK and all over the world  - from London, to Belfast, Madrid, Paris, Seoul, Dubai and New York - as well as closer to home.
