All the work
Five members of the Riot Squad on mobility scooters outside a garage, arms in the air.

The Riot Squad

  • For a brand
  • Client (Riot, a quit-smoking brand)
  • 2023 to 2024

Riot can't advertise like other brands, so we built a squad of OAPs, Older Adult Protesters, who tell young people why they quit, then do something daft to prove it.

What I made

  • A TikTok series with the Riot Squad: tank driving, wing walking and international day trips, each carrying a real quitting story.

My part

Ideas, casting, filming and running the account.

What happened

  • Brand of the Year Across Social Media, National Social Media Awards.
  • Tens of millions of views; the account grew to tens of thousands of followers.

From the work

Got a brand that deserves a daft idea?
