Greg was approached by the Hunt Lascaris team for Black Cat, due to his reputation in the industry for obtaining amazing performance results from cast, as well as bringing a fresh, contemporary aesthetic look and feel to the visuals. According to Greg, "our challenge was to create a commercial which appealed to all generations, and crossed all age barriers, with a look and feel that anyone could relate to. We really had to focus on a cool, contemporary look for the ad which had to stand out in the adult world of commercials we live in."

Applauding Hunt Lascaris, the agency, was Greg Gray’s Producer, Helena Woodfine who commented that "it was a fantastic project to work on, and a real team effort, we all had the same vision from the word go, there was 100% commitment from everyone involved, client and creative alike."
