LRSuntory

Working with eFlow (Ireland's M50 tolling contractors) for over 4 years while agency-side, I developed a creative strategy to drive memorability through standout comms. In developing the brand platform ‘The Director’s Cut’ in 2020, I applied behavioural economic principles to reframe eFlow as a brand that delivers better lifestyle outcomes - rather than a recurring functional charge that customers want to forget about. This allowed eFlow to 'live' in a more playful lifestyle space; we created a platform that reimagines multi-genre movie posters and used media and entertainment cues as a way to educate drivers on how to pay their tolls in a positive, lifestyle-affirming way.

MY WORK INVOLVED

Travel / driving category research
Banking / Finance Tax thematic consumer insights programme
Creative strategy rooted in memorability

Working agency-side in a freelance role, I assisted Cayman Jack in a creative process to identify the brands 'secret sauce' - and how to further evolve it, in the midst of a highly competitive RTD US market (ready to drink).

Using applied creative strategic processes, I worked alongside the brand team to help identify their 'North star' - to guide brand behaviours now and into the future.
