    Zapp London OOH Takeover

    Zapp2022

    A full-scale London OOH takeover for Zapp — the rapid delivery app launching in the UK. We produced artwork across every major outdoor format: DOOH screens, 48-sheet billboards, building-scale canvases including the iconic BFI IMAX, bus shelter 6-sheets, full bus wraps, and taxi liveries. The campaign demanded rapid multi-format adaptation from a single creative, with each format requiring unique specifications, colour profiles, and production considerations. Delivered at pace with zero errors across all formats.

    Enfocus Automation

    End-to-End Print Production Automation

    Large Commercial Printer (Manchester, under NDA)2019 - Current

    A complete production automation build for one of Manchester's largest commercial printers. We architected and deployed an Enfocus Switch workflow that plugs directly into their Web2Print front end, ingests jobs from every channel — including files delivered by email and WeTransfer links — and drives the entire path from arrival to press with zero manual handling. Switch hands off to PitStop Server for automated preflight and correction, files are automatically filed against the job on the server, and customer softproofs are pushed into Enfocus PDF Review for online approval. Once the customer signs off, Switch looks the job up in the MIS, resolves the correct production device, sends the file directly to print, and posts status updates back to the customer at every stage — from receipt, through proof-ready, approval, on-press and dispatch.

    Publisher Advertising Delivery Portals
    Web Platform

    Publisher Advertising Delivery Portals

    Major Publishers2018 - 2023

    Bespoke front-end portals built for large publishers as part of a wider ad delivery ecosystem. Two of many publisher-branded interfaces we designed and built, each integrating with a central preflight and delivery platform. Advertisers and agencies could log in, enter campaign and booking specifics, and upload PDF adverts directly to the portal. Files were passed through to the core platform for automated preflight, with a detailed report returned to the user — surfacing issues, offering auto-fixes, or allowing approval for onward delivery to the publication.

    LabelKit Automation

    Supermarket Nutritional Label Automation with LabelKit

    Major UK Supermarket (under NDA)2026

    A high-volume own-brand packaging operation rolled out our LabelKit Illustrator plugin across their artworking team to automate the production of Nutritional Information panels. Copywriters supply a pre-filled Word document containing the per-SKU data, dropped into the standard job folder alongside an Illustrator template carrying the approved Nutritional Info label layout. The operator opens the template, launches LabelKit, and the plugin ingests the Word doc, populates the panel with the correct values, and applies the FSA-compliant traffic light colours automatically — eliminating manual retyping, transposition errors and colour-band mistakes across hundreds of SKUs.
