Airborne

You can’t keep a good idea down.

brand strategist & copywriter

Airborne is a Leeds-based brand and digital creative studio. Design-led and tech-powered, because businesses need both to get an edge.

Tradestar

Marketing matters.
But who has the time?

brand strategist & copywriter

The brainchild of an ex-Google founder, this startup lets tradespeople make the most of digital with minimum effort.

Their competitors had settled for bland B2B — so I went for a zingy, comic-inspired feel: maximum impact, minimum words. Bold primaries and go-get-‘em energy. Hero-ing the client, because Tradestar is just another tool in their belts.
