Children are naturally reluctant when it comes to brushing their teeth regularly. In order to help parents and encourage their children to brush their teeth correctly, Unilever has created a "magic" toothbrush, Signal Playbrush, under the French  Signal toothpaste brand. It works along with an app on the telephone. Games, funny characters and rewards are part of a programme made to implement a routine. 

I transcreated web content, social media posts, eCRM and the app into French.

​

The arts are central to Julius Bär's cultural sponsorship activities. They manifest their interest through partnerships with galleries, orchestras, film festivals throughout the world.

LinkedIn

BMB

 

LinkedIn plays a major role as a recruiter. However, it occupies a unique position as a network of professionals who use LinkedIn as a social media rather than a job board. LinkedIn wanted to launch a major campaign in France targeted at potential recruiters from small and medium companies. As a French creative lead, I created concepts and scripts tailored to the French market taking into account socio-economic factors, different from the US market in every way. My work was crucial in finding the right rationale, tone and people in order to generate scripts that were realistic and coherent to a French audience.

Photobox needed French input across all their departments. I created and transcreated copy for the French market and as a template for Southern Europe. ECRM, social media, website content, product naming, launch and copy, blog.  The high volume of work demanded a quick turn around with launches of products and promotions happening simultaneously. I also provided a consultancy service, advising on the relevance of campaigns and products for markets in Europe, and SEO search terms. I also created a glossary for a more cohesive approach to French copywriting. 

I also collaborated with Coolr their social media agency and created posts for Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Adidas has been one of the most exciting and challenging international accounts we’ve ever been given to work on. We produced 500 projects in 30  languages in partnership with Leagas Delaney and 180 Amsterdam over 7 years. The language of Adidas campaigns reflects the ever-changing landscape of our urban lifestyles. They are greatly influential.

Procter & Gamble, a huge, global company and world's biggest advertiser + Grey, an international advertising network of agencies throughout the world.
