The John Lewis Partnership Unveils Five-Year Plan

A Shiny New Animation For Virgin Media!
Having recently refreshed their brand look-and-feel (which now includes a colourful slice of rainbow) the team at Virgin Media gave us a challenge. To create a product-focussed, promotional animation including the new branding, products and even step-by-step instructions.
Here’s the result – a vibrant, punchy mix of 2D and 3D shouting proudly about ‘Trade Up’, a new way customers can upgrade early to get a phone that’s shinier, sooner.

Developing Global Leadership During Global Lockdown
COVID-19 has created many challenges in corporate comms. One of Accenture’s was how to communicate the outtakes of their highly regarded, six month Global Leadership Development programme.

McDonald’s Flagship Farmers
We are thrilled to announce our work with McDonald’s on their Flagship Farmer initiative, a farmer-to-farmer sustainability program to help ranchers producers, farmers and growers share and learn from each other. Our work took us to South Dakota, Calgary and Texas to meet some incredible ranchers and hear how they are helping to look after their land for many generations to come.

A Better Way of Doing Business
When we won the pitch to produce a film for The John Lewis Partnership earlier this year, we were thrilled that we would be working with the UK’s largest employee-owned business and parent company of two much-loved retail brands – John Lewis & Partners and Waitrose & Partners. Our task was to create a film to tell the story of what they do and why, featuring Partners from right across the business. We worked with brilliant clients on this film, but our biggest thanks goes to the Partners who featured in the film…they were all absolute stars! You can view the film here.
EVCOM Film Awards

Turn On The Subtitles
What if we told you that you that there was a way to dramatically improve the literacy levels of millions of children by pressing a single button. Sounds too good to be true right? That’s what we thought, but then we got involved with the ‘Turn On The Subtitles’ (TOTS) campaign.
Extensive research across multiple countries has shown that turning on same language subtitles can dramatically improve literacy rates. We are proudly helping to spread the word with this film, because we know this is a change that really can make a difference to millions of lives. Watch the film here.
GVC
GVC is a FTSE 250 entertainment and leisure brand and we are proud to be collaborating with them on their global employer brand proposition.

WE’RE LOVING OUR NEW FILM FOR MCDONALD’S
One of the most famous brands in the world asked us to make a film that would inspire and remind their colleagues across the planet, just how much they’re doing to protect the planet.
McDonald’s are focussing on 6 key areas of their supply chain that will deliver the most impact – beef, chicken, fish, coffee, palm oil and packaging – so our creative solution takes the viewer on a journey through all six, using eye-catching montage animation.
It’s an internal film so if you want to watch it you’ll have to send them your CV and keep your fingers crossed. Or visit http://corporate.mcdonalds.com/mcd/sustainability.html for a taste of what they’re up to.
Leading in the New
The world is changing at an unprecedented rate and no-one understands this as well as Accenture. We are currently in production of a company-wide film to show all their people the incredible work they are doing in the world of Artificial Intelligence and how they truly are ‘Leading in the New’. You’d have to work there to watch the film, but we thoroughly recommend checking out accenture.com where we’re sure you’ll learn a thing or two too!
WiFi Wins
Virgin Media have just launched a series of films that show their customers five ways they can improve their home WiFi connection.

A Belated Happy New Year!
We can’t believe it’s already February. It’s been such a busy start to the year. We’ve been filming for some our favourite clients across the UK, delivered several animations and even squeezed in a trip to the Caribbean. (Yes, it was work!). Oh, and we’ve settled in to our supercool new offices in Shoreditch.
THE OPTIC CLOAK

Gainsborough
Gainsborough are Royal Warrant awarded weavers who’ve been making fabrics of distinction since 1903. Managing Director Emerson Roberts asked us to create a film that tells their story and showcases what they do – which is designing and weaving stunning materials for prestige clients including Royal palaces, leading fashion designers and luxury car manufacturers. Take a look at the film and enjoy a peek inside what is essentially a working museum.
WE ARE VIRGIN MEDIA
When Virgin Media refreshed their corporate website recently, they asked us to help tell their story. And here is the result, a lovely little animation that explains what they do and how they help people do more, be more and have more fun.
THE MORGAN STANLEY GARDEN FOR GREAT ORMOND STREET HOSPITAL
We’re delighted to hear that Chris Beardshaw has won his sixth gold medal at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show, for his design of the The Morgan Stanley Garden for Great Ormond Street Hospital. There can surely be no better permanent home for his latest creation than Great Ormond Street Hospital, where it will provide a much needed sanctuary for families and staff. But as we found out during filming, dismantling it and moving it there is going to be an even bigger challenge than getting it ready for Chelsea.
Good luck Chris, we know you’ll do it and provide more golden moments for some people who couldn’t deserve it more.

THE BERTARELLI PRIZE 2015, LUMINOVA
We recently visited Harvard University to film the winners of last year’s prestigious Bertarelli Prize which recognises and incubates an innovative idea with huge potential in the field of Life Sciences.
The recipients, LuminOva, are a team of Biotechnologists who have developed a radical new way of screening the eggs and embryos used in IVF treatment which could increase success rates for IVF couples, reduce the heartache of failed pregnancies and make the process far more cost-effective and accessible.

Women In Finance, Gadhia Review
We’re a business run by a woman. Over half of our employees are female. And at least one of the men in our office claims to be a feminist. So we’re really proud to have produced a series of films for Virgin Money about opportunities for women in the financial services sector.
Last year The Government invited the challenger bank’s trail-blazing boss, Jayne-Anne Gadhia, to produce a report investigating the lack of senior women in the financial services industry and, critically, what could be done about it.
3,500 interviews later and the Gadhia Review is out revealing ten core findings and three recommendations for businesses, with enlightening insights that will have an impact far beyond the towers of finance.
Our films capture the reaction to the report from some of the industry’s leading female figures, including Jayne-Anne herself.

Freedom Brewery
Craft lager pioneers Freedom Brewery asked us to make a film about what they do. Probably because they like their films like their lager – lovingly made, easy to consume and with no bitter after-taste! Sit back, crack open a cold one and enjoy the film on the link below.
we’re loving 2016 so far…
What a start to the year that’s been! It’s almost Valentine’s Day and we’ve already partnered with LinkedIn, Morgan Stanley, Virgin Media, Freedom Brewery and are currently shooting at Harvard Business School, Massachusetts.
And to prove we can do serious business and the fun stuff, here’s a still from a music video we made for LinkedIn’s annual sales conference. We had great fun making this internal film but if you want to see it, you’ll have to get a job there.

LINKEDIN, BRING YOUR PARENTS TO WORK
Do your parents understand what you do? No? Then bring your parents to work! Each year LinkedIn encourages organisations to offer a day where employees can bring their parents to the office and give them a glimpse of what they do at work.

We’ve been filming many of their new developments from the community at Kidbrooke Village, to the waterfront apartments of One Tower Bridge.
We’ve shot wonderful birds eye views by launching drones from some of London’s finest riverside developments, and got an exclusive peak into the biggest demolition site in the capital.
The results of all this work will be revealed later this month.

National Trust: Digital Transformation
