A direct mail pack for American charity Smile Train. Launching a full-scale appeal in the UK for the first time, they aimed to raise funds for surgical procedures to correct cleft palate. The disfiguring condition can attract a lot of stigma in the developing world, where it is often left untreated. A 45-minute operation can change a child's life.

I rewrote the short course brochure for Camberwell College of Arts and Chelsea College of Art and Design, promoting classes that run between September 2006 and May 2007. Printed in an unusual mixed landscape and portrait format, it makes a striking addition to the suite of materials I've helped produce for University of the Arts London.

Early in 2006, I was commissioned by the world-renowned art college, Central Saint Martins, to write a business-to-business brochure that highlighted the institution's consultancy and training work. The result was Halo - published in a glossy magazine format that's perfectly in keeping with the aesthetic and design values of CSM (www.csm.arts.ac.uk). Below, you can see some sample pages.

When RM - market leaders in the educational IT market - wanted to establish contact with potential graduate employees, I helped devise an on-campus campaign that really caught the imagination. Students at four target universities competed to build the largest possible structure out of branded foam blocks. The game not only raised awareness of RM, but also reflected the approachable nature of the business and the importance they place on teamwork. A microsite was created featuring digital shots of the competing teams. The winners flew to Paris for lunch in the Jules Verne restaurant, half way up the Eiffel Tower. Ooh la la!

I wrote the web pages for Word Communications - a design agency on the outskirts of London. The aim was to give a straightforward introduction to their work, particularly for prospective clients who had little experience of using an agency. www.wordcomm.com

For my 35th birthday in November 2003, I invited 35 celebrities to join me at a pub in London. Although the only reply came from John Inman's agent (he sadly wasn't free), the idea captured the imagination of people around the world. I gave interviews on radio shows in Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and the US. I was also a regular guest on the Radio One show hosted by DJ Scott Mills.

The brief from ECsoft was that their new marketing manager would find themselves exposed in a high-profile role. This cheeky recruitment ad made the point that the only protection they'd have would be a copy of a pre-existing marketing plan. The shoot took place in the client's offices and, yes, the model really was in his birthday suit.
