Together there’s nothing we can’t do

  • Wow Charlie. Luci has just sent around the video of the Pacific Voices talking about plastic pollution for INC5. Amazing work. Thanks so much for all you have done to bring this together. The whole team here appreciates this enormously.

    Let's hope this film, the policy document and all other things being provided, help the negotiators get what is needed into this Treaty. You have played a major part in helping all those island states be heard. Thank you.

  • THANK YOU SO MUCH Charlie for finding time and for your generosity in participating and getting hands on in the connecting islands group! We could not have achieved what we did with that video, without you!!  You are an amazing producer, creator, and human being!  You instantly get what is the heart of every message that we are trying to convey and transmit them beautifully 🤗🤗🤗.  It has been so great to work with you! You also get the GOLD STAR for patience ... we are all great people but you have accommodated all of us with a smile on your face (or that's what I imagine ! Hahaha).

Art Direction

It comes in so many different guises and entirely depends on what you are after. Art direction for me is and has been on location, in a studio or in an edit suite, but it extends out to working on a storyboard, designing a document, conducting a photo shoot or editing a film. I’ve seen it all from the peak of a snowy mountain to diving with hammerhead sharks. And directing underwater was certainly a challenging one.

Branding

How does a company look? Does it have a voice and is it sticking to that voice? Consistency is key across all of these - although its ok to break the rules every now and then - as long as you know what your core values are and how you present yourself. So whether we are going to get into a Visual Audit or a Branding workshop, or talk about building a fresh new Brandbook or creating a comprehensive Toolkit for the organisation lets get going!

Content

Such an all encompassing term! But to provide content it needs first to be created. I can help bring its Creation to life (Photography, Videography, Editing), or simply produce it. With oodles of Production experience - from planning to end delivery - and a healthy dose of Strategy I can sure help cover all the bases you need.

  • I had the pleasure to work together with Charlie for more than 4 years. After we met the first time at the Red Bull Photography headquarters I realized that we are likeminded when it comes to cooperation’s and partnerships in general. We worked on several projects together, from signature outerwear for his global team of Photographers, to inspiring photos shoots in Iceland, all the way to a signature Red Bull Photography board line that we offered globally to our markets. Each and every project worked out successfully and smooth. I really appreciated working with Charlie, his professional and goal focused attitude combined with his friendly and positive personality made it fun realizing our projects together. Charlie is a great guy and I would always work again with him on future projects!

  • Charlie is one of the most well-rounded, knowledgeable and insightful marketing professionals that I have worked with. He is a rare commodity in the photo industry who knows both sides of the equation having worked as a content creator as well as directing entire marketing divisions at worldwide corporations. Charlie has helped build up some of the biggest brands in the world acting as a marketing director, producer, art director, and art buyer on hundreds of projects. Not only are his production skills above and beyond, but his ability to envision where a brand could and should go help to drive the overall process into new and very exciting territory. Charlie is very easy to work with, engages each and every project with 100% focus and has the vision to elevate any project he is a part of. I look forward to working with Charlie in the future.
