Smyths Toys

Smyths Toys

Smyths Toys offered me the opportunity to work in a structured yet dynamic environment, where I combined creative vision with strategic thinking and operational execution.
I contributed to the development of campaigns, content, and TV commercials through a 360° approach, from concept to delivery. Alongside production, I actively helped shape and strengthen the brand’s visual identity, coordinating its communication across multiple international markets.

Branding

At Smyths Toys, the development of a cohesive brand identity required a strategic approach applied across all European markets: Ireland, the United Kingdom, England, France, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. This process involved the creation of dedicated brand guidelines for each market and supplier, along with the development of standardised templates and assets for social media (including TikTok), video platforms, television, digital banners, internal communications and in-store materials. The implementation was supported by the production of video content and motion design, ensuring consistency across all channels and formats.

Campaigns

End-to-end project management, including on-set representation for Smyths Toys, has been part of my role. I’ve been involved in every stage of production, from pre to post-production, collaborating closely with internal teams, creative directors, and production agencies. My work has spanned multiple countries, supporting shoots and campaign rollouts directly on set, while ensuring brand consistency and creative alignment.

In-studio production

I produced several videos using green screen, custom VFX, and color grading, working in a studio I set up in 2023. The setup was later adopted across Smyths Toys offices in Europe to support a more consistent and efficient in-house video production process.
