To celebrate the diversity of the break in a community that's often overlooked, Rethink worked with KitKat to launch a 30-piece bar for 30 days of breaking fast during Ramadan.

Charbonnel et Walker’s chocolates are handmade using the finest ingredients, and the brand is equally renowned for its packaging, with beautifully presented hand-made boxes and satin ribbons making them the perfect gift for every occasion. Together Design was briefed to create packaging for Charbonnel et Walker's Easter 2023 gift collection. As always, we needed to present their exquisite chocolates in a way that reflects their heritage, hints at the luxuriousness of the chocolates and brings the joy of the spring season to life in order to capture the imagination of buyers and recipients alike. The Easter range celebrates new beginnings at this joyful time of year. Bloomsbury inspired, this decorative collection sings with Spring as playful white rabbits, primrose yellow hens and painterly pastel hues adorn scrumptious packaging formats. And of course it wouldn’t be Charbonnel et Walker without that little touch of luxury and glamour, with patterns and gold edging to frame the boxes perfectly. The range is both beautiful and practical. We’ve taken care to ensure that the colours for this spring season marry well with the core range. The two ranges sit well together and feel like an integrated range, providing density and weight to in-store displays.

Ten years ago, Deliciously Ella started making delicious plant-based food as accessible as possible. The plant-based landscape has changed beyond recognition since then, with around 50% of UK households now buying plant-based food products. We have worked with husband and wife duo Ella and Matthew Mills on a new visual identity and packaging for Plants by Deliciously Ella, a sister brand to the plant-based food and wellness platform Deliciously Ella. Plants is an exclusive range in partnership with Waitrose and Partners, aiming to make delicious plant-based food as accessible as possible. The range primarily targets flexitarians seeking help to incorporate more plants into their diet, offering delicious, natural, plant-based food available across the entire supermarket. A single brand partnering with a retailer to execute their plant-based offering is a first for the UK and highlights the importance grocers now place on this generation-defining food theme. The idea behind our packaging concept is to showcase the heroes themselves: the plants. They are shown nourishing and cupping serving suggestions and ingredients, creating a bold standout on pack and shelf. The immediacy of the brand name and visual identity was key in helping shoppers navigate plant-based foods in a crowded environment. It spans the entire supermarket, from creamy coconut yogurts to filled pasta, fresh sauces, on-the-go options, bean burgers, dips, breakfast cereals, nut butters, and confectionery. The range launched in October 2023 and has already grown to over 50 plant-based food products, now stocked in over 7,000 Waitrose stores across the UK.

Steeping Conversations is a modern reinterpretation of a traditional Southeast Asian gifting of symbolic memento keepsake to storytell FUJIFILM’s commitment to a partnership for holistic print solutions. The gift set is designed in response to FUJIFILM’s request for an appreciation gift to illustrate FUJIFILM’s unwavering commitment towards their customers. The Nanyang-inspired gift set contains 4 distinctly shaped tea capsules with different flavoured tea profiles. Each of the tea capsules are designed to create an avenue for conversations that represents the value of service to FUJIFILM and their customers. As one unfurls the pleats of each tea capsule in its own way, it revealed four types of tea, namely, Tie Guan Yin, Pu-er, Nanyang Tea, and White Peony. These carefully handpicked teas represent the different values comprised ‘Journey’, ‘Discover’, ‘Cultivate’ and ‘Support’. The Tie Guan Yin tea capsule takes the user on a ‘Journey’ across its angular and textured contours of the packaging, bringing them on a search for an opening and using their fingertips to pry it open. A journey to a partnership suggests an unwavering patience and perseverance and consistency in a long-term partnership which ends in a fruition symbolised by the light and flowery tea. Steeping Conversations serves as a vehicle for a conversation starter of partnership opportunities and fosters the maintenance of customer relationships.

Heritage of Pride, a nonprofit born from the events of the Stonewall Uprising, generated buzz and excitement when it launched a refreshed brand identity for NYC Pride in partnership with Lippincott. Year after year, the organization’s brand identity has changed to reflect the event’s annual theme, and the Heritage of Pride team recognized that to drive equity and awareness around the organization’s incredible impact—it needed an iconic identity that endured. Together, we zeroed in on the unique role the organization plays for many in the LGBTQIA+ community, to help create a new brand identity for NYC Pride. One that told a story of inclusivity and showcased that NYC Pride is more than an annual celebration—it uplifts the community 365 days a year. The evolved NYC Pride brand debuted during Pride Month in 2022, coming to life across digital platforms, and beyond. The site received an 85% increase in new visitors and an 9% increase in followers on Instagram, the latter of which is an all-time record for any pride organization. The new branding made a splash at the NYC Pride March and garnered over 2.5 million impressions on Instagram.

With a mission to reduce the garment industry’s environmental impact, textile innovations company Evrnu® needed a brand strategy that not only reflected the ambitions of its business, but also the first expression of its expertise - Nucycl®; a fibre made entirely from cotton textile waste that can replace and outperform 90% of materials in the current market. The ultimate aim was to create a positive identity that communicated the optimistic and distinct elements of Evrnu® and Nucycl®, which would come to life via a thoughtful website design. DEPT®’s challenge was to strike the right balance of individuality and symbiosis between the two, as while Evrnu®’s world is full of colour, resonating with the vibrancy and brilliance of nature, the world of Nucycl® is more toned back, echoing the clarity and purity of science. DEPT® delivered a beautiful and considered end-to-end experience design, bringing clarity and direction to Evrnu® and Nucycl®, while also carving out a defined purpose and mission for each in a competitive market. The new brand identity and website design showcases the unique expressions of Evrnu® and Nucycl®’s parallel worlds, bringing each to life with ultra-realistic, original 3D landscapes that immerse and inspire. And the result is a hyper-realistic yet futuristic aesthetic that brings passion, art, and science together in harmony, helping the company positively empower a movement that drastically reduces the textile industry’s environmental impact.

Deep Sea Mining is an emerging extractive industry with the goal of removing mineral deposits from the ocean’s seabed. If it is allowed to start, gigantic machines will strip, dredge or cut deposits from deep ocean ecosystems, which would have a devastating and potentially irreversible impact on ecosystems and marine life. Our objectives were to influence key players within the UK political system so they publicly take a stance against Deep Sea Mining; drive awareness of the problem; and help the public understand the severe threat posed by Deep Sea Mining. The campaign compares the consequences of Deep Sea Mining with deforestation in order to explain the issue, shining a spotlight on the huge positive impact that taking a stance against Deep Sea Mining could have, and highlighting the pivotal point we are at in history. Our simple, impactful and emotive message made the potential devastation from Deep Sea Mining feel real and understood. The creative ran on billboards around Westminster, press in the Spectator and The Telegraph, and digital display. Following our campaign, the Labour Party came out and said if they got into power they would ban Deep Sea Mining and public awareness of Deep Sea Mining rose from 49% to 63% in London, where the campaign activity was concentrated.

As well as being an eyesore and harmful to the environment, litter costs the UK taxpayer an estimated £1BN per year. Hubbub has a long history of trying to tackle litter: back in 2016 we launched the Ballot Bin, a voting ashtray which asks smokers to vote with their butts on customisable questions. Our polling shows young men are the most likely group to litter and our research suggests finger-wagging is not an effective way to change that audience’s behaviour. So, we worked with Instrument Industries – the manufacturers of the original Ballot Bin, to design new ‘Big Ballot Bins’ for general waste featuring a solar-powered, electronic vote counter. A carrot over stick approach. We handpicked timely and engaging questions designed to spark debate, launching an 8-week campaign called #PickYourSide thanks to funding from KFC. Barbie or Oppenheimer? Liam or Noel? Cats or dogs? Questions like these caused a stir on the streets of Manchester and Southampton during our 8-week campaign. But a much bigger conversation was sparked online. With our bins going viral on social media, punters debating the issue of litter, big brands like Heinz using our bins to promote their own products, celebrities retweeting and a feature on BBC News homepage, we knew we were onto something. 4 in 5 people we spoke to on-street said they thought the bins were a good idea to reduce litter. We agree and that’s why we’re looking to scale up this campaign to tackle litter across the UK.

Due to their subtle, repetitive nature, microaggressions have been referred to as a death by a thousand papercuts. A traveling art exhibit, “Worn Down by Words” was created to highlight the harmful impact of these slights and raise awareness for The Micropedia, the first encyclopedia of microaggressions. Taking cues from an exhibit experience, the art was accompanied by plaques with The Micropedia’s mission statement and a QR code leading visitors to the tool for further learning. By getting The Micropedia in as many hands as possible, we aim to create a safer society for all.

2022 was the year of AI. It’s painted like Rembrandt, predicted the future and driven our cars. But can it go where no computer has gone before… can it be funny? To find out, Artificial Intell-a-Joke D25 was created to give cracker jokes an upgrade. Users entered their name and chose a cheesiness level, before a sleek, sophisticated digital 3D cracker animated between festive shapes as if ‘thinking’ of jokes in real time. The cracker told over 1,000 jokes on its launch day alone across 3 continents, bringing cheer (and a dodgy gag) to all those who tried it. It started as a simple idea and became a 360 campaign, with social teasers, DOOH in our office lobby and a trio of digital films. We built the cracker entirely in-house, meaning we could donate the budget to Mind UK, as the best humour comes from human minds after all.

Home for the Pawlidays is a holiday gift with a mission - to help pets in our area shelters find a forever home. Created as a pro bono effort tied to our annual gift to agency friends and family, this fully integrated campaign pairs creative messaging and beautiful illustrations to stand out in a sea of seasonal greetings. The holiday campaign was devised and written from the perspective of the now-infamous agency pets, a plucky crew of dreamers filled with the holiday spirit who are determined to find their friends a home for the holiday. The vibrant illustration carried over to our entire campaign. This signature visual style was used in our email, microsite, and social media posts, extending the look and feel in new and familiar ways throughout the holiday season. In addition to donating our creativity, we pre-paid the adoption fees to ensure that upfront costs didn’t interfere with true love. The accompanying microsite featured the portraits and profiles of pets available for adoption in Jacksonville, Atlanta, and Washington DC. Each profile featured the basic biographical details of the pet, along with a fun description of their personality. The pets (and their people) couldn’t believe the response. All of the sponsored animals in Jacksonville and Washington DC found a forever home before the end of the year. And holiday spirits around the country were brightened with the purest holiday message imaginable—peace, love, and plenty of belly rubs.

Books are being banned and burned at an alarming rate. In response to this wave of censorship, we worked with Penguin Random House to create an unburnable edition of The Handmaid’s Tale made entirely from fireproof materials. Then, we got Margaret Atwood to test it with a flamethrower.

Carl Friedrik released the Rover bag collection in July 2022. The range offers practical luxury for frequent travellers, pairing travel-conscious design with traditional elegance. Whether for commuters, urban explorers or digital nomads, the bags are geared towards creating a seamless experience on the go — and are equally suitable for work, travel and social settings. The hero design is City-hopper Backpack. It is the main revenue driver and has turned soft bags into a key product category for us, boosting the retention rate and exposing the brand to new customers. City-hopper Backpack — and indeed all bags in the Rover collection — were co-designed with our community through a programme we conceived called The Creator’s Club. Making Rover a truly customer-led collection of luxury bags. We invited loyal customers to join The Creator’s Club cohort and test an early prototype of City-hopper Backpack. In return for their feedback via two product surveys over 1 month, members received a range of perks (more information in the extended report). In the quarter when we launched Rover (Q3 2022), the retention rate increased by 15% YoY. Q3 2022 saw revenue from new customers grow by 27% YoY. Followed by 115% YoY in Q4 2022. The launch of City-hopper Backpack — contributed overwhelmingly to this development. In fact, over 2022 Rover contributed 10% to yearly revenue growth. Rover bags, driven by City-hopper Backpack sales, are on course for 100% YoY revenue growth in 2023, which has far exceeded expectations.

Produced in a limited edition of 32, Heinekicks were handcrafted by The Shoe Surgeon, the world’s best shoe customiser and a key influencer with 1.1m followers. The sneakers came in iconic brand colours of green, red, and silver. A secret compartment hid a brushed metal bottle opener, and for the real kicker, Heineken Silver was surgically injected into its clear bubble soles, giving its wearer the sensation of walking on beer. Heinekicks was a promotional item for us to drum up hype for launch while sidestepping the restrictions on beer advertising in dark markets, and representing the shift towards a more irreverent, bold brand tonality that was catered towards Gen-Z. Heinekicks were promoted on social media channels, in both online and offline channels to spread the brand launch, while also driving beer sampling and sales.

Channel 4 Annual Report 2022: Making an impact Publicly owned yet commercially funded, Channel 4 has a distinctive remit set by Parliament to represent unheard voices, challenge with purpose and reinvent entertainment. It looks to Emperor to reflect this when developing the strategy, structure, and visual concept of its reporting. We’re encouraged to disrupt received thinking and challenged to reflect the brand’s personality and new visual identity, while still delivering the content that matters. Emperor’s brief this year was to reflect the social impact that Channel 4 exist to deliver. By showing how Channel 4 understand, address and even celebrate all of our challenges, inequalities and injustices – whilst taking inspiration from Alex Mahon’s speech to celebrate 40 years of Channel 4 – Emperor created a report with disruption at its heart, celebrating 4 decades of creative risk-taking and Channel 4’s impact on life in the UK. The report was well received within Channel 4. Jason Hesse, Head of Corporate Brand at Channel 4, said: “Working with Emperor to develop and produce this Annual Report for Channel 4 was a joy. The team was able to offer a fresh and creative approach that synced with our brand and helped us to tell our story in a uniquely Channel 4 way. The report itself has resonated strongly with the intended stakeholder audience and has had the desired impact. I’m proud of the work we have delivered together!”

We believe www.the-intercooler.com to be the most beautifully designed automotive editorial website in the world today. It doesn't carry advertising, which means the site also offers the best online reading experience possible. We are entering the Design: Editorial Design category because as well as creating a bespoke website, we took the opportunity to define a new aesthetic for the brand. The primary objective of the re-brand and website launch was to make The Intercooler more visible to potential subscribers. The results speak for themselves – The Intercooler subscriber base grew by two-thirds in the six months after the re-brand and website launch, and the rate of growth has accelerated sharply in the months since then as their SEO ranking continues to improve. The Intercooler is now establishing itself as a major player in the automotive media landscape. At the heart of its growth is the beautiful website that we launched last year. As they produce more content daily and its search traffic increases all the time, the rate of growth is set to accelerate month after month.

Marking the 150th anniversary of the first FA Cup Final, Royal Mail released a set of six stamps celebrating the world’s oldest domestic football competition. Each stamp was to showcase a different component of the competition that, when put together, helped illustrate what makes the FA Cup so special: the fans, the stadium, giant killer results, royal patronage and of course the match itself. By slightly increasing the width of the classic white border found around most postage stamps and then simply removing the bottom section, each photographic image is suitably framed by its own set of goalposts. A simple, but unique,‘smile in the mind’ solution to hold together quite disparate imagery in a consistent and enjoyable way whilst at the same time not distracting from the subject of the image.

In the ever-evolving fintech industry, Thredd has cemented its position by processing billions of payments annually. Their 'true partnership' ethos has been the foundation for many successful fintech ventures. After a rebranding from GPS to Thredd, and securing fresh funding, they collaborated with Screenmedia to revamp their digital identity. This new chapter emphasised modernity and confidence. Screenmedia's strategy began with a deep dive into Thredd's business, market dynamics, and target audiences. This understanding informed the design, prioritising Thredd’s confident new brand identity. The website showcased interactive elements, clear layouts, and emphasised Thredd's partnership ethos through a weaving theme, reflecting the interconnectedness of Thredd and its clients. To stand out, Screenmedia chose a retro aesthetic with Thredd's unique tone, and innovative tools like a bespoke configurator to align potential clients with the best products. Launched in April 2023, the site witnessed a surge in traffic and a jump in leads. Sarah Caseberry, Thredd's Head of Digital Marketing, acknowledged the project's success in surpassing set targets. This digital revamp not only elevated Thredd's brand and user engagement but also underscored the transformative influence of top-notch UX and UI design in the fintech realm, showcasing the power of digital creativity to drive business growth.

At the end of 2022, while most brands were looking backward, YETI was looking ahead. Year in Preview is the first interactive, personalized calendar of its kind, empowering people everywhere to look ahead and plan their outdoor adventures. YETI had two key goals with Year in Preview, starting with solving a tangible problem for customers by building a personalized calendar that gave them access to the best and most diverse outdoor events year round. Second, to extend the reach of the YETI brand by making a lasting impression on new audiences. For the first goal, engagement was off the charts, with a 9% add to calendar rate, meaning hundreds of thousands of events added by outdoor enthusiasts everywhere. Users also averaged more than 2 minutes on Year in Preview — 40 seconds more than the average B2C experience (source: DataBox). This testimonial from Camille Egdorf, Professional Fly Fishing Guide and YETI ambassador, says it all: “We always talk about “the year in review” but why not look forward? YETI’s Year in Preview makes it simple to plan and add that extra stoke level to your upcoming year.” For the second goal, Year in Preview delivered more than 200M impressions through press alone. From Fast Company to Travel and Leisure, Digiday, Ad Age, and more, YETI captured a massive audience across business, technology, creativity, design, and lifestyle. It also recently won the Webby Award for Best Website - Travel, and Fast Company's Marketing Award in the Innovation by Design Awards.

Rising fashion brand Represent joined forces with Superco to revamp its digital presence. The project's key objective was to infuse the new website with the brand's unique identity and global appeal. Through a Vision Discovery Session, data-driven insights, and innovative design, we crafted a premium user experience that appeals to the brand's fashion-forward fans.

The fashion label's digital transformation is a testament to our commitment to UX excellence.

VoCoVo was on the cusp of launching a brand new headset - the Series 5 Pro - the first team headset of its kind, crafted in direct response to feedback from retailers. With such a pivotal launch, the team required a striking new digital platform to launch the product and communicate the features in an alternative way. We knew 3D would give the team the results they were looking for. So, we created a story of the product and its core features and approached the design as we would a piece of animation; through a creative storyboard with the product at the heart. We had to convey motion and transition through static images so our designs included movement on scroll, which allowed the features to morph on interaction. It was also important to match experiential with a UX performant site, integrating with VoCoVo’s points of contact. We invested time into the 3D model, highlighting the product details as well as subtleties in the transitions, materials and lighting. The resulting design was an optimised UX through a neat UI - shining the spotlight on the 3D model of the headset itself. The product and site were very successfully launched at the Retail Technology Show, and the site was used as an asset at the show, giving the team the ideal tool to highlight the features alongside the physical product. The feedback about the site and the way it communicates the features of the innovative new headset have been overwhelmingly positive.

The Association of Registered Graphic Designers (RGD) is Canada’s largest professional association for graphic designers. In 2023, they introduced the RGD Branding Awards – Canada’s biggest new award show for branding and design. We were tasked with creating an identity for the awards that would be used across promotional collateral as well as at the show itself. To celebrate the most notable branding and design, we drew inspiration from branding’s most overlooked symbol: the registered trademark (®) — and used it to create the entire identity.

Without challenged the generic codes of luxury travel with a global brand redesign of The Thinking Traveller, by telling real stories with soul that speak to tomorrow's luxury customer. Unlike most villa rental companies, which share portfolios, The Thinking Traveller’s thoughtful collection is only available through them, with dedicated support from local experts who know the areas like no one else. But Without noticed that their hero asset of genuinely ‘exclusive’ villas was being interpreted simply as a by-word for luxury, getting lost in a generic, functional market dominated by a sea of infinity pools. In an era where luxury is increasingly defined by unique experiences (rather than material goods), The Thinking Traveller needed to stand out by replacing function with emotion; sweeping luxury statements with real stories of people and place. Without's job became to remove layers of marketing and surface the brand’s unique soul. In the sense of reconnecting The Thinking Traveller to the impulse behind this kind of travel, and this kind of travel business, Without helped take them home.

Context In the Middle East, the demand for plant-based diets and sustainable protein sources is surging as health conscious consumers seek more sustainable food options. However, many plant-based brands in the region lack a genuine connection with local culture and cuisine. In response to this, WMH&I collaborated with IFFCO’s Plant-Based Venture to create a plant-based food brand that celebrates Middle Eastern traditions while promoting healthier and more sustainable eating. Strategy Introducing THRYVE, the future of Arabic cuisine. THRYVE’s products are locally sourced and infused with regional flavours, designed to seamlessly complement beloved dishes. THRYVE represents more than just food; it symbolises a movement towards healthier, sustainable eating in the Arabian Peninsula. The brand’s name, ‘THRYVE,’ embodies the essence of thriving through plant-based choices, supported by the line, ‘Born to Thryve’. Solution The visual identity seamlessly merges the vibrancy of plant life with the artistic essence of Arabian culture. Flourishing plant vines transform into elegant Arabic calligraphy, providing unity across THRYVE’s elements. These Arabian plant vines breathe life into iconography, enhance food photography, and create a distinctive pattern across various applications. THRYVE’s logo is a testament to regional nuances. The word mark uses high contrasting strokes and flow from Arabic script with subtle organic touches that visually communicate plant growth. The brand’s colour palette mirrors nature’s cyclical growth, anchored by a gold hue inspired by the Arabian Sun. THRYVE debuted on World Vegan Day and rapidly secured distribution in key regional retailers, including Lulu, Carrefour, Choithram, Géant & Waitrose & Partners.

AERO is a film-based paint alternative which provides a revolutionary solution to a huge environmental problem, but their messaging lacked clarity and their identity was stuck in the past. To appeal to design-led automotive companies, they needed a design-led brand. We defined a strategic brand idea, ‘engineered from the molecule up’, drawing from tech, data and science to craft a sleek, sophisticated and cutting edge identity. Paired with a bold tone of voice and clear messaging, the identity has transformed AERO from industrial coatings manufacturer to future-focused sustainable tech brand. This has helped the company grow exponentially, working with the world leaders in automotive innovation and establishing a joint venture with their biggest competitors.

Dave is a very different place to where we were 5 years ago, so we were tasked with the challenge of creating a fresh new look and feel. To evolve the Dave brand to better reflect the content we are putting out today. We wanted to take the Dave tone-of-voice – the smart, comic, conversational brand that we’ve seen on our social channels, in partnerships and of course in our shows – and apply it to the biggest canvas of all – Everyday Life. Spurred on by Dave’s brand belief that ‘humour is a damn good antidote to the awkward mess that is modern life’, our aim was to create a brand which prods, pokes and subverts the world around us. To evolve the Dave brand, we needed a design system that was fit for purpose and helped to opened up a new ‘world’ of Dave. From telly and YouTube, to podcasts and TikToks. So, to freshen things up we created a whole new suite of branded assets and idents. Our idents are a bank of updatable real-world videos. This allows us to keep updating them with new copy and content, keeping them fresh and helping us all to laugh through the messiness of everyday life. It’s a new dawn, it's a new Dave.

The restaurant at Coworth Park has always had a good reputation. But despite the exceptional food and service, it’s always been considered a hotel restaurant. A table to reserve during your stay. Our brief was to create a visual and verbal identity that matched the artistry of the kitchen. Elevating the profile of its headline chef, Adam Smith, and establishing the restaurant as a dining destination in its own right. From his kitchen in the Berkshire countryside, Adam Smith conjures an exquisite menu at every service. Inspired by personal experience and memories, he weaves together unexpected ingredients, texture and flavour to reimagine classics from the British cookbook. Our brand captures the spirit of Adam’s food philosophy, in a layered identity that reveals itself slowly through the dining experience. From sculptural signage that collides materials, to expressive ingredient collages on the menus and evocative storytelling at the table. Elevating the dining experience, our identity has played a role in the restaurant gaining its first michelin star just since six months after opening.

Team GB is the external facing brand owned and managed by the British Olympic Association. 100% commercially funded, its primary role is to unite, organise and prepare athletes from all Olympic sports, disciplines, and governing bodies as they compete together under the Union Flag. Ahead of Paris 2024 and beyond, the BOA were looking to maintain and grow the brand’s profile amongst fans of all ages and backgrounds, strengthen its relationship with sponsors and commercial partners, and make sure it would be fit for today’s modern, digital-first communication landscape. The brand needed to evolve strategically and visually. To develop a clear and compelling purpose and promise that could maintain the DNA of what has made it so successful, but also resonate deeper, across multiple channels, with athletes and audiences alike, not just during the Games, but every single day. 'Everyday Extraordinary' is the brand positioning we developed which is an inclusive and inspirational articulation of the new purpose: To bring people together through the power of stories steeped in authenticity and emotion. To celebrate superhuman endeavours and the humanity that lies behind them. To champion what makes our athletes so special, as well as what grounds them. And above all else, to unite and inspire our nation to find their own extraordinary. This idea was brought to life in a flexible identity system based around a core set of patterns inspired by some of the key qualities and attributes that make up a successful athlete.

Mobile World Congress (MWC) is the largest and most influential connectivity event in the world. So, it was only fitting that Nokia chose it as the platform to introduce its evolution, created in partnership with Lippincott. Nokia unveiled its new brand identity via an interactive exhibition featuring an immersive 3D logo. Much like Nokia’s portfolio, each area was designed to have its own distinct impact while working together as a whole.

Cisco Live 2023 triumphantly returned after a 3-year hiatus, reaffirming its premier status in IT networking globally. The mission was to revive in-person relationships, foster brand loyalty, and nurture partnerships in a post-pandemic landscape. The "ALL IN" theme symbolised unified determination and was seamlessly integrated into the event's fabric, resonating emotionally with participants. Through storytelling and experiential tactics, the event design engaged attendees with unexpected moments of delight. RAI Amsterdam's expansive venue was transformed into a vibrant hub featuring diverse touchpoints based on emotional engagement, scale, conversations, and movement. For a week, the event buzzed with activities, from certifications to wellbeing zones. A simplified Event Journey Map facilitated navigation and networking, while digital integration united audiences through custom apps, online communities, and live broadcasting. Sustainability was woven throughout, aligning with Cisco's green initiatives. Responsible sourcing, upcycled materials, and local partnerships demonstrated commitment to a sustainable future. Waste management achieved 100% graphics recycling, while energy-efficient practices were integrated. Cisco Live 2023 solidified Cisco's industry leadership and achieved a harmonious symphony of reconnection, learning and sustainability. The design embodied the "ALL IN" theme across curated content, digital engagement, and sustainable practices. Collaboration between Cisco and George P Johnson showcased a "one team" philosophy, creating a seamless experience for participants and reinforcing Cisco's customer-centric approach. .

Entertainment Week Lagos, an innovative creation by Livespot360, emerges as a dynamic hub propelling entertainment industry growth. This immersive event, hosted in Lagos, unites local and global sectors for a week-long exchange of ideas, networking, and innovation across music, film, fashion, tech, and more. The event's core themes address future entertainment trends, business strategies, skill enhancement, startup empowerment, and entertainment's societal impact.

In partnership with Grubhub & Taco Bell, we were tasked with transforming a Taco Bell parking lot into a summer concert festival in Los Angeles to celebrate National Frozen Drink Day. This summer celebration was to promote the launch of the new Watermelon Berry Lemonade Freeze from Taco Bell ordered through Grubhub. To set the celebration in motion, interactive invitation boxes were delivered to local LA influencers with surprise invitations frozen inside a block of ice, prompting them to break or melt it open to retrieve the surprise contents inside. From this pre-event delivery, promotional content was created & posted on various social media platforms to hype up the event beforehand to our targeted audience. The Grubhub and Taco Bell brands were blended together through a vibrant & zesty event identity, playing up fruity design motifs of the newly launched freeze drink. We kicked off the intimate event with a VIP meet & Greet with headliner Stephen Sanchez, exclusively for lucky Grubhub+ and Fire! Tier Members. Diners grubbed on complimentary Taco Bell favorites, stayed refreshed with freezes and cocktails, all while vibing out in the uber colorful lounge to DJ Alex Chapman. Throughout the event, guests picked out some epic ink at Tasteful Tats, a foodie-fied temporary tattoo station. Brand Ambassadors handed out exclusive swag items like sunglasses, bucket hats, & bandanas designed to keep everyone looking fresh. We closed the night out with an intimate performance by Stephen Sanchez.

To bridge a widening disconnect between millions of people living in the city and the farms that feed those people, we brought Bayer´s vision for the future of farming into the city. For our premier showcase - the "Crop Science Innovation Summit" in New York City - we took a new approach and visualized our vision for a future built on regenerative agriculture through dynamic 3D animations of farms around the world. With this, we took our audience live in the room and on the livestream on a virtual journey through different geographies to experience challenges and solutions farmers face around the world. A bold event design on and off the stage carried the excitement for the future of agriculture and made this virtual walk through a technologically advanced vision of the future possible. The animated farmers were shown using existing and future innovation unified with digital tools to better deliver yield, reduce their environmental impacts, and improve the soil of their farms. As the animations gave us the freedom to visually depict how a specific technology could work, like how a shorter version of corn is better than a tall one, the audience was engaged from start to finish. We wove the event design throughout the event space and brought the farm to the city, inspiring our audiences to look at agriculture and our farmers not just as anonymous food producers, but as people using latest innovations to transform agriculture for a better future.

NVE Experience Agency produced a bi-coastal, 10-day family-friendly pop-up experience highlighting and promoting the release of the Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies new film, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.” The immersive experience invited guests to descend into NYC’s iconic underground, train alongside their favorite heroes, and enter their famous sewer lair.

Heinz AI - When A.I. text-to-image generators took the Internet by storm, Heinz saw an opportunity to tap into the cultural conversation. The campaign started with a simple question: what would A.I. generate when asked to generate “ketchup”? The result was the first-ever campaign with visuals generated entirely by A.I. An experiment in brand ubiquity using emerging technology, proving that even to A.I., ketchup looks like Heinz.

Many financial advisors think they can cover the potential of the market by investing only in large companies, known for their stability, and small companies, known for growth. But in reality, if they’re missing the mid-sized companies, they’re missing out. Portfolios containing them consistently outperform portfolios without them. Across broadcast, social, digital, OOH, a digital investment calculator, and a live client event, our campaign for State Street Global Advisors’ mid-cap ETF, MDY, showed investors that “The middle can make all the difference”. The centerpiece asset is a 10-minute film featuring two professional golfers - Annika Sörenstam and Tony Finau going head-to-head in a competition unlike any other. The rules: no middle clubs (no irons, no wedges) allowed on the front 9 holes. Then, those same 9 holes are played with their full set of clubs restored, proving the difference the middle can make. Every aspect of the Mid-Cap Cup campaign - from pin flags and ball trackers down to the tees Annika and Tony played with - was designed to boost State Street Global Advisors’ brand presence. We carried this through to our client event, leveraging authentic elements to the setting, such as premium leather scorecard holders and coasters, photo ops, stages, golf course and event signage, incorporating our design style in a way that felt authentic to this unique backdrop. Ultimately, across all assets, we successfully lifted our brand name while maintaining the understated elegance the world of golf is known for.

The Visa network enables the seamless movement of money across the world, just like the best football players move on the pitch. Visa Masters of Movement brought this to life through an incredible fusion of football, art and technology. The experience was built around a new technology we collaborated on that transformed football moves on the pitch into digital art that were instantly minted as NFTs. At FIFA Fan Festival in Doha, everyone got the opportunity to be an artist as they stepped into the Visa Masters of Movement arena. Fans selected one of the 32 FIFA World Cup nations to represent and were fitted with a tracking device to capture their movement. For four minutes, the pitch was their canvas as they represented their nation in front of packed crowds in Qatar, emulating their heroes on the world’s stage. Using the tracking technology, all movement was tracked in real time and displayed on the LED surface that made up our arena. The key moment of each game, either a goal or an incredible piece of skill, was transformed into digital art, and minted as NFTs for each player, so they could share a unique, personalised souvenir of their experience.
