My relationship with Eurostar actually started long before I joined the business. Back in August 2015, while I was at AKQA, I was asked to create a series of social posts to drum up excitement for some rather run-of-the-mill new features on Eurostar’s new trains. I leaned into a fairytale angle, turning each feature into a tiny hero with a Franglais twist. That copy then guided the illustrator’s visuals for the campaign.
The following year, my role took on a transcreative turn when I was ask to rework some copy and write some words from scratch for illustrations by AKQA’s Paris team for the La vie on board campaign. The campaign generated almost 10 million impressions on Instagram.
