The Dungeons
“Kinda goofy, kinda spooky” is literally my vibe, so you can imagine how psyched I was to write for the Edinburgh Dungeon – in a mix of social content, community management and a live Halloween event.
A team-effort through and though, I provided art direction for the rollout of a new social strategy for Loch Lomond Brewery. Working in-tandem with a copywriter, it was my role to brew up art direction. Go on, have a look – in fact, ‘hop’ to it!

When first tasked with brewing up a new direction for social content, I looked at two things: the packaging, and the colours of the environment beer is enjoyed. Namely bars, breweries and the great outdoors.
And with that, the art direction focused on ‘balance‘ – contrasting the vibrant brand elements with earth tones. Oh, and a lot of logos-on-glass edits, to be fair.
As part of a social-first art direction, another consideration was the social profiles themselves. In addition to new display photos, write-ups and Story highlights, the ‘cover image’ area was used for high impact video to showcase multiple products.
The results of the content were amplified by a top-tier paid media strategy and community management. This was achieved by my then-colleagues in account and social media management. Good people.
