Getting to know a client makes the work better

Over a period of time, I had the chance to work across a range of campaigns for Woolworths, including Christmas and Easter TVCs, alongside a broad set of stills. That continuity gave the work real depth. You start to understand not just the visual language, but how the brand speaks, how the creative thinks, and where the nuances sit.

The projects moved fluidly between different territories. Observational, human moments. Food that needed to feel immediate and real. And the build-out of stills libraries designed to carry consistency across a wide range of touchpoints. The aim was always the same. Keep it warm, keep it open, and keep it human. Avoid anything that feels overworked or overly constructed.

It’s a space where performance really matters. The difference between something that feels staged and something that feels lived-in is everything. At the same time, the images need to hold structure and clarity, especially when they scale across large campaigns.

We also built out a large stills library in the same tone, designed to hold consistency across everything.
I’ve always liked working across both film and stills on a project. It keeps the thinking aligned and the output tighter.

Working across multiple projects builds real understanding and benefits both sides. It’s not about loyalty for its own sake, better work comes with it.
