job
Lead Creative / Art Director
AKQA London.
Rolls-Royce • Art direction | Branding | UI
Rolls-Royce Motorcar was my main focus at AKQA.
My day-to-day role was to lead creative projects with art direction, digital design, photoshoot and social channel strategy, but the broader task was rebranding Rolls-Royce to target a new demographic without losing any of its prestige and heritage.
I had the chance to work on this iconic brand during a very important moment in the brand's life. Effectively, Rolls-Royce is consolidating a new position, not just as the most luxurious car brand but as a highly luxurious brand in itself.
