The Sprint Format

What We Do

A Visual Future Sprint is a focused two-week engagement that delivers three ready-to-shoot campaign concepts, each with its own strategic rationale, visual language, and direction. Each concept is supported by 8–12 campaign-quality visual assets with written rationale for every creative decision.

Built for independent, design-led brands who need to move quickly and think clearly about where their creative is going, before committing to a full production budget.

You end the sprint with a concrete set of directions. Your team can produce them, your agency can execute them, or they can sharpen how you brief the next project.

Deliverables

Three Concepts.
Two Weeks.

Strategic thinking with proof-of-concept visuals, built for your team to produce.

Three ready-to-shoot campaign directions from one focused brief. The thinking that makes production worth committing to.

Selected Work

The Work

Jaguar — Automotive

Type 00

Campaign concept for Jaguar's first fully electric vehicle, repositioning one of Britain's most recognisable car brands for a new era without apology or nostalgia.

Visual Strategy

Sculpture
Over Speed

Treat the car as an object to be contemplated, not demonstrated. Gallery lighting, gallery space, gallery silence. The campaign refuses to explain itself.

Challenge

Rebirth Without Apology

Jaguar needed to announce an electric future without losing the weight of its past, or appearing to chase trends it helped set.

Audience

Culturally Fluent Buyers

Design-literate, affluent buyers who track fashion weeks and gallery openings as readily as automotive launches.

Context

Luxury EV Moment

A crowded field of electric launches reaching for the same minimal aesthetic. The opportunity was to be genuinely different.

Campaign Concept

Copy Nothing

Visual sequences treating the Type 00 as pure form, set against industrial and natural landscapes. No voiceover. Minimal copy. The car as argument; the image as proof.

Bressin — Heritage Watches

Something About Time

A campaign concept for a British heritage watchmaker, finding a contemporary visual language that honours craft without feeling like a museum piece.

Heritage
Without Dust.

A storied British watchmaker needed to speak to a new generation without abandoning the legacy that justified the price.

Audience

Considered Collectors

Buyers who research for months and purchase for decades. Understated taste. Allergic to trend-chasing and brand noise.

Context

The Anti-Hype Market

While streetwear-adjacent watch culture dominates the conversation, the case for quiet quality had never been clearer, or more vacant.

Visual Strategy

The World at Its Pace

Slow, considered photography. Analogue textures. Worn surfaces. The watch in real time, in real places, with real people who have somewhere worth being.

Campaign Concept

Set For Life

A campaign built around permanence, the idea that a Bressin is the last watch you'll ever choose to buy. Portraits of figures at moments of genuine consequence: a surgeon before theatre, an architect reviewing final drawings, a maker at the end of a long project.

Spohr — Sustainable Furniture

Made to Last

Campaign concept for a sustainable furniture maker, communicating longevity and material honesty without the hair-shirt aesthetics that plague the sustainability category.

Challenge

Sustainable Without Preach

The sustainability category is cluttered with earnest messaging aimed at the converted. Spohr needed to reach people who simply want beautiful, lasting objects.

Audience

Slow Buyers

People who save up and buy once. Who value the grain of wood over the gloss of a render. Bored by sustainability language but living its principles.

Context

Against Disposability

Fast furniture is everywhere and its consequences are impossible to ignore. The counter-argument, buy once, buy right, is powerful if made visually rather than morally.

Visual Strategy

Time as Material

Photography that reveals the beauty of age and use: surfaces worn by hands, patinas earned over years. Objects that improve by existing in the world.

Campaign Concept

Inherited

A campaign built around objects that outlive their first owner. Furniture photographed in homes where it has lived for decades, passed from parent to child, surviving renovations and moves. No copy beyond a single word: the name of the piece, and the year it was made.

About

Elliot Fraser

Creative director with a background in cinematography and visual storytelling. KELM works with independent, design-led brands at the early stages of campaign development, before the brief is fixed and while the creative direction still has room to move.

The sprint format exists because the most valuable thinking happens before production begins. Getting three directions right costs considerably less than producing one wrong one.

Based in London. Works remotely and in person across the UK.
