The Gentleman’s Playground
RANGE ROVER SPORT / INTEGRATED CAMPAIGN

To move Range Rover beyond automotive and build desire

playground: a setting for performance, capability
and character.

casting, wardrobe, music and edit.

Google Analytics in Real Life
BRANDED COMEDY / ONLINE CHECKOUT
THE CHALLENGE
To make the frustrations of online shopping tangible,
and give businesses a reason to improve the
customer experience.
THE IDEA
Take the obstacles of an online checkout into a real
supermarket. The absurdity turns a technical problem into
an instantly recognisable comedy.
MY CONTRIBUTION
I wrote this comic branded short starring Nick Mohammed,
making the product story work through character, dialogue
and escalating frustration.
RECOGNITION
Winner, SHOTS Award for Best Branded Short.

05
A different kind of family portrait.
DISCOVERY SPORT / INTEGRATED CAMPAIGN
THE CHALLENGE
To give the oldest model in the portfolio a more elevated
feel, while preserving the warmth and inclusivity that
makes Discovery distinctive.
THE IDEA
A whimsical tea party placed a non-traditional family at the
centre of the campaign. The setting brought a sense of
occasion to practical family capability.
MY CONTRIBUTION
Concepting and scripting six films; creative decisions
on casting, wardrobe, production design and music;
voiceover direction.
CAMPAIGN DELIVERY
TV, six social films, OOH, print and performance
marketing.

06
Men in Aprons
ELECTROLUX / A NOVEL COMMISSIONED BY A BRAND
THE CHALLENGE
To raise Electrolux’s profile and create PR cut-through with an
audience difficult to reach through conventional appliance advertising.
THE APPROACH
Use a novel to draw readers into the world of domestic life. Character
and comedy gave the brand a story people could spend time with,
beyond a conventional product message.
MY CONTRIBUTION
I wrote the commissioned novel, published under my maiden name,
Alex Mattis.
REACH
Published across global markets, receiving coverage everywhere from
The Sunday Times to The New York Times.

An evening dress. And wellies.
RANGE ROVER ELECTRIC / LAUNCH CAMPAIGN
THE CHALLENGE
To show that the first fully electric Range Rover was as
capable and luxurious as its petrol equivalent, while still
raising a smile.
THE IDEA
There was no budget to show the vehicle in action. An
evening dress and wellies offered another way to express
the combination of refinement and capability.
MY CONTRIBUTION
Concepting and scriptwriting; creative decisions on casting,
wardrobe, production design and music.
CAMPAIGN DELIVERY
Social, OOH, print and performance marketing.

09
A rare blend of exquisite elements.
RANGE ROVER SV ULTRA / LUXURY POSITIONING
THE CHALLENGE
How do you persuade someone to spend £250,000 on a
vehicle that, at first glance, looks almost identical to the
£100,000 version?
THE IDEA
To present SV Ultra as a work of craftsmanship. Rare
materials, meticulous detailing and elevated experiences
made its place at the top of the range tangible.
MY CONTRIBUTION
Concept, headline writing and creative decisions on
casting, styling and music.
CAMPAIGN DELIVERY
Social, OOH, print and performance marketing.

55 years of Range Rover
HERITAGE CAMPAIGN / EVOLUTION THROUGH STYLE
THE CHALLENGE
To celebrate 55 years of Range Rover in a way that
embraced the vehicle’s evolution.

Lizzie Jagger became the thread connecting three
decades of Range Rover history. As her styling evolved, so
did the vehicle, bringing 55 years of design into one
seamless transition.
MY CONTRIBUTION
Headline writing, wardrobe and music.
CAMPAIGN DELIVERY
Social, OOH, print and performance marketing.
