Our work
-
Lyon Communication
We thought
Robert Fenner is an experienced writer and public relations man. He loves campaigns and copy writing with impact.
We created
A visual identity that emphasises the strapline – don’t do dull. And a website look and feel with bags of personality.
We delivered
A range of funky business cards and an animated website that’s fun to play with. There’s even a gadget that turns verbose sentences into plain English.
-
Stott and May
We thought
City head hunters Stott and May are slick, focussed and absolutely not run of the mill. They wanted a website to reflect that.
We created
A clean visual identity and a website concept that meant their site would be talked about all around the city of London. Can’t put a price on that.
We delivered
A cool paralax scrolling website that takes you into an executive lounge, a server room and more. There’s even a game of ping pong and a hidden shark.
-
Il Palagio
We thought
Sting makes wine –who knew? We didn’t but he does, along with honey and olive oil. They needed a shop site that reflects the beauty of the Sumner estate in Tuscany where everything is lovingly produced.
We created
A look that is pared back without looking spartan and lets the estate and its produce speak for itself. There’s also a bit of hidden cleverness in the site build that allows it to adjust itself to the screen you happen to be viewing it on – so no mobile site headache.
We delivered
A simple yet stunning site where you can find your way to a case of wine without navigating a digital obstacle course. If you’re reading this and its pay day, take a look and maybe treat yourself. The honey’s really good…
-
ITSL
We thought
IT Support London wanted to break the mold – to be a fun, approachable IT company with personality. So they chose us to work with.
We created
A brand style that reflects the wit and wisdom of their team and the ethos of their company. We even did caricatures of the actual team members.
We delivered
An online world full of spacemen, aliens, a bit of planet earth and… well you’ll see when you visit the site. We also produced a low bandwith version of the site – incase you’re in a hurry or have a slow connection.
-
Travelex
We thought
Now owned by Western Union, Travelex Global Business Payments is the world leader in international currency payment solutions, and they chose us to develop their suite of business sites around the world.
We created
A neat, considered set of sites, which would present the right information with the right priority for all the different regions around the world. The information structure and build had to allow for likely future developments too.
We delivered
In ten regions across the world. That’s a lot of different times zones! Travelex Global Business Payments has subsequently been sold but we’re very proud of the work we’ve done with them as an example of how a well-established brand can be re-imagined for a different offering.

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. -
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 one day annual event that we’ve run for three years now, all within a modern and fresh identity that intelligently evolves year-on-year to reflect the changing nature of innovation.
We delivered
Expert presenters in the innovation, learning and funding streams, an innovation showcase, an exhibition…. 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.
-
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
A beautiful brand, a content rich website and a sparking bid document. In the end Port Harcourt in Nigeria won – they must have had cool stuff.
-
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?
-
2 Degrees
We thought
2degrees is the world leading online community of over 10000 sustainability professionals. And they had a new service to deliver to a market jam-packed with both great ideas and jargon-talkers.
We created
Nothing works like story-telling as a way of delivering complex information in an engaging way. So we created them just that – a very simple story that cut through the marketing noise to deliver real results.
We delivered
Steve. Well, the story of Steve and his go-to-market journey with 2 degrees. As a piece of appropriately diminutive print and an animation that’s delivering them surprisingly good results.
-
Pegasus PR
We thought
All PR isn’t the same, and Pegasus are most definitely one of a kind. They’re lucky enough to live by the sea in Worthing, so when they asked us to create a new site we took their location as our inspiration. Literally.
We created
Their own little interactive world. A website that breaks quite a few rules and prompts many smiles, as well as delivering a beautiful window in their environment.
We delivered
A sideways scrolling panorama (featuring parallax scrolling, just in case you’d like to know) and a highly crafted experience, dotted with subtle and chucklesome animated sparkle.
-
Save the gibbons
We thought
1) Gibbons are cool. 2) The Goodies are cool 3) Working on a site that mixes the two is so cool it hurts your teeth.
We created
An identity that combines old and new, TV and internet, Goody and Gibbon.
We delivered
A campaigning site that delivers a serious message whilst hitting you with a rubber chicken.
-
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.
-
Stowe school
We thought
What an opportunity. A new brand and a new website for one of the world’s best schools. Stowe is an exceptional place (how many other schools are also National Trust properties?), but its brand and site were letting it down.
We created
An online identity that lives up to and builds on Stowe’s qualities, rather than one that gets by because of them. A site design that truly opens a door into the heart of the school. A first-class site for a first-class school.
We delivered
Site visitors now experience Stowe more completely than ever before – they can explore the grounds, meet the teachers, understand the curriculum and or even just find out what’s for dinner.
-
Oxford University Department of Education
We thought
Educating educators is a rare opportunity, and one we grasped with all our hands. Oxford University’s Department of Education knew it needed a new website, but it wasn’t sure what that site should be.
We created
Understanding. We worked with the Department to help them understand the purpose of their site – sitting in on senior management team meetings and developing content plans with senior academics and administrators
We delivered
The website that they needed. Focused on student recruitment, full of relevant information and easy to manage and update, the Department now has a site to be proud of, and one that has already proved its ability to attract new students.
