About

B31I9007.jpg

I help automotive brands tell the stories that define them, through film, content, brand positioning and PR that goes beyond the brief.

With a background spanning automotive journalism, PR, brand consultancy and production, I work across the full creative pipeline: from concept and scriptwriting through to producing, campaign development and brand strategy. My focus is premium and classic automotive, where the narrative is as important as the car.

I work with everyone from OEMs to independent specialists, and across the full spectrum of the market, from classic cars and motorcycles to hypercars.

Previous clients and collaborators include Singer Vehicle Design, Type 7, Morgan Motor Company, Mobil 1, Dallara, Jaguar Land Rover, RM Sotheby's, Wiesmann, Royal Enfield, Zenvo Automotive, Classic Driver, Girardo & Co, Ginetta, Thornley Kelham, Collecting Cars, Bicester Heritage - and some others which cannot be mentioned due to NDA.

I am based in the UK and work with brands and agencies globally.

I’ve included some case studies within the Work section of this site, but if you’d like to know more you can contact me at jameshbannister@gmail.com.
