London doesn't run on a calendar. It runs on moments: the first cold night, kick-off, the 6pm Valentine's panic, the 2am shift finish. This is a working tool that turns each one into a campaign brief, with the plan behind it.
Pick a London moment and get a brief: the categories that spike, the idea, the channel mix, a partner and a measure.

Responds to: brand intuition and influencing powerSixteen moments, each built as a brief from my own point of view. Shuffle through them or copy one out. Or describe your own and Claude drafts it live.

Plan around what London is doing tonight as well as the retail calendar. Triggers such as weather, kick-off and shift ends live in CRM, not in a deck.
Every push is a piece of brand. Fewer, sharper, better-timed messages, written with the Creative Director.
Not the obvious ones. Brands and people that make a Zapp customer feel understood, not targeted.
Each campaign launches with a hypothesis and a holdout, so the creative risks are ones the business can measure.
Campaign strategy, social and OOH, paired daily with the Creative Director.
Triggers, journeys and Zapp+ retention. Owns the holdouts.
Paid social and search, postcode-level targeting, CAC payback.
Brand partners, creators, experiential and the London radar.
A starting shortlist of partner types. Effort and impact scores are my first-pass estimates.
I have spent 10+ years building marketing functions from the ground up and running full-funnel, culturally led campaigns, in-house and for brands including IKEA, Juventus and the Royal Albert Hall. I'm Head of Marketing at Brandpie, where I took the function from one person to four, and strategic advisor to the CEO of Fifth Corner.
Outside the day job I write and direct films (BAFTA- and Netflix-recognised), which is why taste and storytelling matter to me as much as the numbers. I'm based in London and my notice period is one month.
