Ricola

A national television campaign for Ricola, one of the world’s biggest confectionery manufacturers, and its first major advertising activity in the UK since 2013. To convey the delicious flavour and soothing effect of Ricola’s herbal sweets, we have developed a new brand line “Mmm… Aahh… Ricola”, and given the brand’s long-established theme of Swiss mountain yodellers a modern humorous twist.

Knight Frank

A major press and radio campaign for one of the country’s leading property agents, based around the newly-developed positioning ‘Your partners in property’. The full page advertisements ran in the Times, Sunday Times, Financial Times and Country Life and the radio commercials were heard on Classic FM.

Unilever

A short film to show the steps Unilever are taking to cut down on their plastic waste around the world. The opening features Alan Jope, Unilever’s CEO.

Our second film for Unilever, launching their latest programme of global environmental initiatives. Once again, the film features Alan Jope, Unilever’s CEO.

Simplicity Cremations

We launched the Simplicity brand into the fast growing category of low-cost, no-frills cremations. People increasingly don’t want stuffy, expensive, traditional funeral ceremonies, so we characterised the tone of our creative approach as ‘reverence with a touch of irreverence’.

The London Diabetes Centre

A press and underground cross-track poster campaign for the UK’s largest private diabetes clinic.

City Harvest

City Harvest is one of London’s fastest growing ‘food rescue’ charities. This campaign dramatises their mission to ‘deliver surplus food to surplus hunger’.

System 1

We were asked by the research company System1 to create a cover for a book they were publishing in conjunction with the IPA. The visual references VW’s famous ‘Lemon’ press ad for the Beetle, substituting a faulty advertising brain for a faulty car. We were also commissioned to create the title and cover design for Orlando Wood’s latest book, “Look Out’. In it, he argues that as a culture, we have become ever more narrowly focused and inward-looking, thereby endangering our industry’s ability to connect with consumer audiences.

C&M Traditional Boat Repairs

C&M Traditional Boat Repairs are one of the country’s foremost restorers of the legendary ‘Little Ships’- the flotilla of 850 private boats which saw such valiant action in the Dunkirk evacuation of May 1940. Our advertisement not only helped C&M in their mission to ‘refloat history’; it also established them as a centre for ‘Little Ship’ owners to meet and share expertise.

AMP

Perhaps our smallest ever client, but one that’s closest to our hearts. In 2018, 19 year-old James Bertrand came to us asking for an ad that would help him raise money for a complex operation on his amputated leg. Today, not only can he walk again unaided, he has also successfully founded the charity AMP (‘Anything Made Possible’), to help others in the same position. James is now a much-in-demand motivational speaker with the mission to ‘turn pain into purpose’.
