Xero Go launch

A simple lyrical spot to launch Xero's new product in a catchy, name reinforcing way.

Project Overview
Xero Go is an accounting app for (extra) small businsses. It's basic, easy to use and reduce admin.

So we created a simple spot based on a song rhyming with Go that shows just how on the go, just how easy, and just how how much flexibility Xero Go has in a fun and name-reinforcing way.

Who me?
With nearly two decades working at both agencies and in-house creative teams i'm passionate about finding creative solutions across multiple mediums. My work covers everything from small scale branding to enterprise dotcom design systems, brand strategy and large international TVC's.

I'm currently an Associate Creative Director at Xero, based remotely in Gisborne, New Zealand. When i'm not working you can find me surfing, golfing and playing tennis or spending time with my young children and long haired sausage dog. Woof.
