BRAND CAMPAIGN PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOPRET A POPPI

SCOTLAND · 2026

MY WORK WITH PRET A POPPI

Pret a Manger is one of the UK's most recognised coffee and food chains, with hundreds of locations across the country. In March 2026, Pret became one of only two retailers in the UK to exclusively launch Poppi, the viral US prebiotic soda brand owned by PepsiCo, marking the drink's first international expansion outside the United States.

Creative agency We Are Quantum found me through this very website and brought me in as the official videographer for the launch event at Pret a Manger on Princes Street, Edinburgh, covering both the event atmosphere and the brand activation from the inside.

The turnaround was tight: the finished brand activation film was delivered in ten days, revisions included. Launch content has a short shelf life, and a film like this only earns its keep if it is online while the campaign is still hot.

Several versions of the video were produced during post-production. I chose to incorporate 3D animated cans into the edit. While the final delivered version was slightly modified for the client, what you see here is the director's cut.

An event recap is the starting point, not the ceiling: this one ended with 3D animated cans in the edit. Got a brand activation coming up? Tell me about it.
