Thrilled to see that Liberty Global has been nominated for for a PR Week Award in the Public Affairs category, for their ‘Powering the UK’s Vital Connections’ campaign. This was a targeted brand awareness drive aimed at UK politicians, their advisors and people who influence them. We produced all the films in the campaign and you can watch one of our favourites here and read more about the campaign here.

Last year, we made a film that introduced The Partnership Plan to all John Lewis Partners. This year, we created two further films to show Partners at Waitrose and John Lewis, just what that plan meant. With two Partners recording the voiceovers from the safety of their own homes, we put together two fun, stylish films that curated the best of their photography and footage to bring the detail of the plan to life.

The films were for internal eyes only, but if you’re a Waitrose or John Lewis customer, you can expect an even better shopping experience in the very near future.  

We are delighted to be shortlisted for another film for our work with Turn On The Subtitles, this time at the EVCOM Clarion Awards. This nomination means a lot for our team as it was a ‘side of desk’ passion project. When Oli Barrett and Henry Warren told us that the simple act of turning on the subtitles could double the chance of a child becoming good at reading, we knew we had to help by making a film that would persuade broadcasters and parents to ‘Turn On The Subtitles’ by default. The campaign has had some incredible success which you can read about here and you can watch our film here.

Accenture’s latest research suggests we’re on the brink of a post-pandemic boom. Business confidence is rising, digital transformation is accelerating and opportunities abound. In our one hour live special, three of Accenture’s top executives came together to discuss the state of the nation post-pandemic and post-Brexit. You can watch the highlights film here and the full hour here.

Sometimes great ideas are right in front you.

And when Oli Barrett and Henry Warren first told us about their ‘Turn on the Subtitles’ campaign to help boost child literacy, its genius was obvious.

Our team produced the animation that helped launch this brilliant initiative, one that’s garnered the support of Stephen Fry and Rachel Riley and persuaded platforms including Netflix, YouTube and Sky to get involved.

Today, we’re delighted to hear that the film has been nominated for a Brand Film Award, but even happier to know that ‘Turn on the Subtitles’ has positively impacted children’s lives for the better.

You can find out more about the fantastic campaign here www.turnonthesubtitles.org and you can watch our film here.

Some people come along and leave a lasting imprint on your mind. And that was certainly the case with Julian Hall who runs Ultra Education. His incredible work helps young people from disadvantaged backgrounds by giving them an understanding of business and entrepreneurship, which in turn helps develop their communication skills, self esteem and interpersonal skills. 

This film is one in a series we made for Liberty Global (parent company of Virgin Media) to show how they are powering the UK’s vital connections. You find out more about Julian’s inspirational work in our film here and see the rest of the series here.

Will Heslop, a wine specialist at Berry Bros. & Rudd, describes Burgundy as ‘the most seductive wine region’ and having produced the film to launch their 2019 Burgundy En Primeur campaign, we couldn’t agree more.
Enjoy a little taste of this incredible region by watching our film here and you can find out more about the wines here.

We are delighted to announce that we have won three Golds and a Silver at the 2020 Evcom London Film Awards for our work with Accenture, Barclays, Condé Nast and McDonald’s. You can watch one of the award-winning films that we produced for Condé Nast here.

We were thrilled that the John Lewis Partnership asked us to help them communicate their new, five-year strategic plan to Partners right across their business. With a big ambition to improve lives and create a more sustainable future, purpose is at the heart of the plan; for which all Partners were given the opportunity to contribute ideas. So, who better to tell everyone about it than the Partners themselves?

You’ll have to work with the Partnership to watch the film but you can read more about their exciting plan here.

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. 

And now for some good news…we are proud to have been nominated for four EVCOM London Film awards for our work with Accenture, Barclays, Condé Nast and McDonald’s.

Fingers crossed for the awards night!  

We are delighted to have won in the Sustainability category at Campaign’s Brand Film Awards, for our work with McDonald’s. Our series of films was for their Flagship Farmer Program, a sustainability initiative designed to inspire change. You can view one of our winning films here.

The 28th edition of Vogue is coming to Scandinavia and to herald this exciting news, we were asked to produce the launch film with Martina Bonnier, the Editor-in-Chief. 

Featuring stunning black and white cinematography from Mikael Jansson, the film reflects Martina’s vision for the magazine at a time where fashion is facing tremendous change. 

The film is being shown across social media and on the new Vogue Scandinavia website, but you can view it here. 

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. The programme enables Leaders from across Accenture’s international offices to learn and develop new skills and key insights relating to some of the biggest trends impacting business and our lives today. 

Over the last six weeks we’ve been combining user generated footage from nine countries with animation to create six short films that explore fascinating and complex subjects. These have now been launched to an internal, global audience, who can now better understand the challenges around data privacy, AI, climate change and human potential. 

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Liberty Global’s teams have been working hard to keep people connected to what really matters. We were asked to script, produce and edit this heartfelt film, to give a flavour of all the great things they’ve been doing. You can watch the film here!

We are thrilled to announce that our recent series of films for McDonald’s have been nominated for Campaign’s Brand Film Awards in the Sustainability Category.

We will have to wait until April to find out if we have won – watch this space! Click here to watch the film!

We were delighted to win an award at the prestigious EVCOM film awards hosted at the BFI, for our work with Conde Nast. The winning film was an advert that helped launch Vogue Greece across Social and TV channels earlier this year. We were also delighted to be shortlisted for our work with Berry Bros. & Rudd and Barclays in the hotly contested Brand Communication category. You can see our Vogue Greece film here.

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. You can view all the films on the McDonald’s website here and you can learn how Lyle and his son Luke are looking after their prairie in our film here.

Condé Nast is home to some of the world’s most iconic brands including The New Yorker, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Wired and GQ. So when they asked us to produce the film for their newly launched website this month, we jumped at the chance. You can see it here or on their new website here.

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.

We are thrilled to announce that we have been nominated for two awards at this year’s EVCOM Film Awards.  We’ve been shortlisted for our work with Condé Nast, where we produced an advert to herald the launch of Vogue Greece and for our work with Barclays on their high-profile Armed Forces Campaign.

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 is a FTSE 250 entertainment and leisure brand and we are proud to be collaborating with them on their global employer brand proposition.

You can view the films on their YouTube Channel or here.

We are pleased to announce that we have won a Cannes Dolphin for our work with Barclays on their Armed Forces film. We’ve won in the ‘Social Media and Short Video’ Category and are off to Cannes in September to collect our award!

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.
