giffgaff’s Tom Rainsford Joins The Immortal Awards Jury

giffgaff’s Tom Rainsford is the latest juror to be announced for The Immortal Awards, the free-to-enter advertising award for all Little Black Book members.

Rainsford is one of the founders of giffgaff which launched in 2009; giffgaff is gaelic for “mutual giving”.

He is a disruptive brand ambassador and passionate creative director, steering giffgaff’s creative output since its inception. Rainsford’s common sense and courage allow creativity within the brand to be fluid. He has an unwavering sense of direction whilst being committed to exploring both his teams’ and giffgaff’s members’ opinions. His only rules are integrity and his own accountability which has created a truly recognisable identity for this inclusive brand.

In 2016, Rainsford turned his hand to directing. His debut film for giffgaff’s Halloween campaign ‘The Music Box’ was met with great critical acclaim, inspiring him to also direct 2017’s campaign ‘The 2AM’.

The 2017 campaign ’The Big Swim’, directed by Sean Thompson, garnered a much heralded position in the APA Top 50. This year’s ‘Small vs Big’, a one-shot film directed by Rattling Stick’s Ed Morris, is tipped to perform well on the awards circuit.
