Current client website, captured 21 October 2026. The site may include changes made after my involvement.

The brief

The website needed to speak to producers and potential collaborators, giving them reasons to choose the studio beyond the appeal of its films.

My contribution

At LINK, I contributed to the strategy, website experience and copywriting, bringing the studio’s creative character into a commercially useful story.

  • Helped connect playful brand language with clear explanations of the studio’s capabilities.
  • Contributed to UX/UI that supported exploration of the work and the people behind it.
  • Wrote copy that gave the projects context and made room for the craft behind the finished animation.

Created with LINK and Cosmic Dino. Film, animation and illustration belong to the studio and its collaborators; website design and development were team work. My contribution was to the website, not production of the films.

“2 Hundy” TV campaign

Seven-frame storyboard for the 2 Hundy campaign.

30-second TVC featuring betcha brand ambassadors Carlos Ulberg and Navajo Stirling, promoting the 200% Deposit Match offer.

Brief

A late regulatory change and a narrow filming window with two rising Kiwi UFC contenders called for a bold campaign concept—one that showcased challenger brand betcha’s combat credentials while making its 200% deposit match offer impossible to miss. But with less than a week to lock down the concept before cameras rolled, every creative decision had to land.

Approach

Rather than another interview-style ambassador piece, I pitched several concepts ranging from safe to ambitious. The chosen combo of vernacular (“hundy”) and a playful one-upmanship dynamic proved both memorable and production-friendly.

Outcome

The campaign was well received in independent testing, clearly communicating the offer. The 2 Hundy platform continued into betcha’s Auckland FC campaign.
