Our work
-
Travelex
We thought
Travelex for Business is the world leader in international currency payment solutions, with a consumer reputation for quality, trust and currency expertise that had to be upheld in their b2b offering.
We created
Their b2b web presence all over the world. A neat, appropriate and clean set of sites, which would house all of their information appropriately, and allow for future developments.
We delivered
In UK, North America, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Czech Republic, Malta, France and Switzerland. That’s a lot of different times zones. Phew.

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 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.
-
Lakehouse Table
We thought
Food, pop royalty and fabulous events – what a combination! Lake House Table (Trudie Styler’s new food venture) asked us to help launch their new range of premium prepared meals – on-line and at a great press launch.
We created
On the web: A quirky and engaging site to showcase the Lake House Table food range. In print: leaflets and flyers to support the launch event. On the ground: the soul of the countryside in the heart of Soho.
We delivered
A cute website complete with store finder, farm blog and some great little animated touches, and a stunning launch event, mixing customised furniture, lighting, sound and real grass with georgian splendour.
-
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?
-
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.
-
Skoll World Forum
We thought
Once more, with feeling… as we launched into our third year working on this project.
We created
A comprehensive, sophisticated, insightful, informative, suite of materials, to enhance the distinctive Skoll branded environment in which the gathered masses of international social entrepreneurs immersed themselves for three days.
We delivered
A beautifully finished, eighty page, full colour, silver embossed programme, video holding screens, addendum, presentation slide templates, multiple publicity posters, pocket size at-a-glance Z cards, maps and twenty foot banners. A wonderful Skoll world.
