Joe continued shooting national advertising campaigns for Highland Spring, Bank of Scotland, RBS, Famous Grouse, Scottish Government and Dobbies Garden Centre. This led to new avenues.
In 2010, Joe was commissioned to direct, shoot and edit 9 web based commercials for QMS Scotland.

One of his films was recently shortlisted for best film in a national competition and was screened at The Royal Margate theatre in Kent.
