We had the niggles produced and given away in branches. Staff even ran a competition to 'pimp' their niggles - with hilarious results.

That's me in the ad. Don't know why I look so fed-up. The campaign hit all its KPIs.

A very simple, very effective advertising idea that shows that financial advertising needn't be boring.

I created the 'Something's missing' campaign to advertise Lyxor's new ETF. But the campaign really came to life when a coverwrap was run in City AM. The front and back pages of the wrap were actually that day's news but we took off some of the type and even part of the masthead to communicate that something was missing. A really good example of creative and media working together.

More financial services clients

I've over 15 years' experience of working with financial services clients. Some creatives see financial advertising as a niche (and, let's face it, not very inspiring) sector. I couldn't disagree more. Money, savings and investments have never been more relevant to so many people as they are today. Creatives mistake uninspiring for challenging. Yes it is a challenge advertising intangible products and services that can't be represented by a packshot and about which it's hard to claim anything without needing to add half a page of small print. But that makes it even more satisfying when a great ad gets bought and produced.
