I’m James Bannochie, a Creative Director / Director with 15+ years’ experience across integrated campaigns, film, and social-first creative. I lead multidisciplinary teams across concept, writing, design, motion, production, and post, with a focus on craft, clarity, and strong storytelling. I’ve led teams of 15+ and 35+ across agency environments and delivered work across MENA and Europe.
We were commissioned to develop a regional, multi-lingual campaign that celebrated the beauty and craftsmanship of exquisite timepieces and fine jewellery by some of the biggest names in luxury such as Rolex and Bvlgari.
The idea of the campaign was to hide the model as much as possible, so the jewellery was the main focus.
By bringing the jewellery to the foreground through creative use of sheer veils, it created and an air of mystery and intrigue for any passerby.
The visuals were displayed throughout the Middle East on billboards and digital media.

el Gouna Hotels //
// You’ll never want to leave
Each of El Gouna’s 14 hotels are a hidden gem in plain sight.
Offering everything a sun lover looks for in a summer escape, we created a campaign based off the line #YouWillNeverWantToLeave for El Gouna’s beautiful array of hotels.
You never want to leave is born from people who visit El Gouna. Everyone wants to stay at least an extra day in paradise.
