Print Ad Design & Copywriting - ACE

  • Olly Browning

Amatrix is a small but flourishing team of structural engineers based in London. A new company, Amatrix didn't have a ton of brand assets to play with, but wanted me to help them make a splash with a full-page ad in architecture's prestigious RIBA Magazine. Together we agreed to run a simple, eye-catching, copy-led campaign. As I'm pretty new to the world of architecture, I spent some time with the team to understand exactly what Amatrix were about and what structural engineering actually means. My key finding was: whilst architects are often the ones who get all the credit for designing a beautiful building, it's actually the structural engineers who make it all happen and figure it out - often without so much as a name-drop. And that seemed unjust to me, so we made a campaign that wasn't afraid to be a bit cheeky about it.
