As Design Lead for BWS, I oversee concept development and creative direction for integrated campaigns. I mentor a multidisciplinary team (3 direct reports) to create high-quality digital, video, print, and social campaigns. I also manage pitches and collaborate with marketing, e-commerce, merchandise, and UX/UI teams to enhance brand and customer experiences.
Bespoke creative crafted for key retail occasions like Christmas, Mothers Day and Fathers Day were creatively explored and designed with a stretch on the brand guidelines to generate audience cut through.
IDEA: PRESSIE CENTRAL
The concept idea of “Pressie Central” was chosen to harness the brand’s TOV and present as a central gift hub to find a perfect gift for Christmas (for anyone 18+ that is!)
The final creative result of the 2023 Christmas campaign generated fresh interest on bws.com.au for the biggest gifting event in the marketing calendar whilst generating an uplift in sales by 100.5% on the previous year.
