The Big Pitch
We thought
How can we make Anglia Ruskin College’s business plan competition an inspiring, exciting, interactive experience for entrants and voters alike.
We created
An awesomely good, original idea for an on-line pitching environment, where competitors could upload their one minute videos, and voters could use a range of social media to ‘like’ their favourites.
We delivered
Branded, promotional Z-cards, brochures, T-shirts and ad hoardings and a really jazzy site, which, in just four short weeks, resulted in:
39 video pitches, 11,540 website visits, 6,413 Votes cast, 4,353 Facebook likes, 1,837 comments posted, 223 Tweets….And some very happy business plan competitions winners. -
Skoll Centre
We thought
Making money and making the world better are ideas that don’t usually sit together comfortably. But they do at the Skoll Centre. We loved the idea of helping them explain how business can do good in an intelligent and visual way.
We created
A brave and eye-catching visual language based on strong colours and clever words, all within the SBS identity. A linguistic game that pulls embedded sentences out of paragraphs. World-class communications.
We delivered
Strong messaging, printed brochures, postcards, programmes and welcome packs. Joined up communications to help the Skoll Centre recruit, retain and respond, so that they can get on with changing the world.

Freeview
We thought
Freeview needed a brand identity and campaign materials for their Viewtrition campaign – which was all about making sure kids get all the benefits of a balanced TV diet.
We created
A brand campaign that worked across all audiences – from press and PR, to parents, to kids. Simple, striking, effective and on message.
We delivered
Top quality communication, sub-editing and design skills – and all the above had to be done extremely quickly! Still, the campaign was a great success, securing loads of great coverage.
-
Venturefest
We thought
Venturefest is the UK’s premier event for scientific innovators, inventors and investors to get together under one roof – it’s a giant and very grown-up dragon’s den.
We created
A revitalised event that ran like clockwork, all within a modern and fresh identity that could evolve year-on-year to reflect the changing nature of innovation.
We delivered
Test drives in electric Minis, an Airstream that’s been converted into a recording studio, great coffee, website, signage…. and a programme that conveniently fits in a suit pocket!

Click Netherfield
We thought
Isn’t it a pleasure to find out about industries you didn’t know existed? Click Netherfield make the world’s best museum showcases – but their brand didn’t deliver the same quality of their products.
We created
Messaging that delivers a fine balance between engineering and art. A language of story-telling. A way for the world’s leading architects and museum designers to relate to showcases.
We delivered
A beautiful coffee table book, magazines in English and French, a website that showcases (see what we did there?) their work, and a renewed sense of purpose in their marketing communications.
-
Science Oxford
We thought
Science Oxford’s brand and purpose was too much. Too many messages, too many audiences, too little structure. Like a signpost in Exeter with detailed directions to Edinburgh on it. They needed an entirely new brand strategy.
We created
We restructured their brand family and created a beautiful new set of identities, giving them the ability to slice up their communications into logical chunks and make sure their messages were delivered clearly.
We delivered
A linked family of on- and off-line comms materials – Science Oxford, Science Oxford Networks, Science Oxford Next, Science Oxford Live and the Webby-honoured Science Oxford Online – the world’s coolest science blog.
-
Sheepskin
We thought
Not everyone wants the same from a cottage holiday. Sheepskin finds awesome, remote cottages and then tailor-makes your break for you! Absolute bliss….
We created
We knew we could tear up the rule book for holiday cottage brands, but that we had to be practical and deliver the flexibility of a fully content-managed site. Hmmmmm…..
We delivered
A beautiful, experiential website that showcase the beautiful locations and cottages, at the same time as being easy to navigate, and easy to update. We heart it.
-
Oxford World Book Capital
We thought
What an interesting challenge. Find a way to position the extraordinary tradition of Oxford’s book history against a backdrop of a modern a vibrant city.
We created
An icon for the 21st century. Bright, strong colours, layered on top of each other to represent the depth and variety of Oxford’s literature and history.
We delivered
So far, only a beautiful brand, and possibly the world’s most over-engineered landing page. But there are great plans for the future of this one, so watch this space.

Hornsey road
We thought
Grainger PLC were building a multi-million pound development of old Victorian Baths in Hornsey. They were struggling to find an agency that would be able to bring their vision to life.
We created
The complete opposite of standard property marketing. Strong, urban colours and fonts. Interspersed with song titles from great London bands. The very essence of modern Hornsey.
We delivered
Brochures, website, exhibition materials, signage. We even reckon we helped deliver them a buyer – we used Madness’s “One Step Beyond” as a headline – and Suggs only went and bought one of the flats!!! Coincidence?
-
Nesbitt Farms
We thought
“Would you like to re-brand our farm” is not a question you hear very often. “Hell yes!” was our answer. It’s great to do good for people who do good.
We created
A whole new brand, a photo brief, a range of brochure designs and a clever little logo (well, we think it’s clever).
We delivered
A digital window on an organic world, featuring brand new photography, farm news and a show diary.
