BRICKwork is the creative studio of Hayley Louisa Brown and Sam Butler, the team behind BRICK Magazine. We create projects showcasing the resonance of the written word & the impact of compelling visuals, with the same curation and care displayed on the pages of our own publication.

Over the best part of a decade, BRICK has set the standard for editorial and visual storytelling in print media. We’re more than a magazine, born out of a commitment to celebrate the resonance of the written word and compelling visuals. Music, and musicians, have never been more influential in defining a generation, and BRICK has become the definitive document of the culture.

We partnered with Flight Club to enhance their Flight Club Fridays programming.

Our objective was to re-energize the creative direction of the Flight Club Fridays video series and its broader photographic campaign. Retaining the brand’s signature colors, we elevated the visuals of in-store performances through dramatic lighting and cinematic camera techniques. We also designed and constructed a set to enhance the Flight Club store environment, adding a new level of stylization to the films.

In preparation for the campaign launch, we executed a large-scale out-of-home poster campaign, targeting key locations across the U.S.

Nike entrusted us with celebrating the relaunch of their Air Max Tailwind sneaker, a shoe lacking an existing cultural narrative. We chose to position the sneaker as an “underdog” and developed an authentic visual output through this lens.

We collaborated with rapper Octavian on a short-form video documentary that reintroduced the Tailwind sneaker, highlighting his inspiring journey from homelessness to signing with a major label. This documentary launched globally on Nike’s SNEAKRS app and website.

In addition, we created a bespoke zine with Octavian, featured in Edition 07 of BRICK.

BRICKwork was approached with the brief of bringing local energy back to the high street of Hammersmith, London, with a focus on culture-led activations that would attract young people and re-invigorate the area.

Our first physical space served as a vibrant community hub during our six-week residency. We designed and constructed the space from the ground up, building a custom photographic darkroom as its centerpiece, where we taught over 100 young photographers how to produce their own black and white prints. Additionally, we created a retail area offering exclusive BRICK merchandise, rare art books and magazines, along with a weekly camera repair service.

Throughout our tenure, we hosted a diverse range of curated panel talks, workshops, and events, both under the BRICK banner and in collaboration with brands such as teenage engineering and Converse.

Tasked with creating a bespoke advertising campaign for Uniqlo’s Life Wear collection, highlighting its versatility, we drew inspiration from London’s iconic subcultures—punk, buffalo, and skate—to create a shoot that showcased the collection's timelessness. The campaign came to life via BRICK Magazine’s back cover, and was amplified both in-store and online by Uniqlo.

The campaign launched with a high-impact event at Uniqlo’s London flagship, where we presented the campaign on a large scale. We also introduced a limited edition capsule collection in collaboration with renowned photographer Eddie Otchere.
