Warner Bros. came knocking on his door and he became the first marketing director at the Harry Potter Studio Tour. Starting before the start of construction, he created the entire marketing strategy, plan and branding from scratch - including the award-winning education programme. The launch was swiftly followed by a Royal inauguration and then the launch of the Hogwart's Express. During this time, he was promoted to oversee the marketing and communications of the Warner Bros. Studio Tour in Burbank. He rebranded the tour to be named "Hollywood", created it's first exhibition (Batman: The Exhibition which garnered the highest amount of PR coverage the tour had seen) and launched it's Script to Stage experience.
