  • Game on! For MS
    Game on! For MSMS is a chronic illness that attacks the nervous system. 2.3 million people around the world live with the disease, many of whom were diagnosed in their twenties. The lack of awareness and understanding in this age group means a diagnosis can lead to social isolation. Merck recognised that supporting people with MS involves more than just developing medicines.

  • Zurich: Golf Guru
    Zurich: Golf GuruThe Golf Guru was born to help all people, no matter who they are or where they are from. Everybody has a coach, some have a mentor, nobody has the Golf Guru.

  • Yoni. What you put in your vagina is important.
    Yoni. What you put in your vagina is important.How do you get women to buy Yoni tampons instead of the market leading synthetic brands? Young women will happily reduce their booze and gluten, saying “my body is a temple”. We made sure they thought just as hard about what they put in their vagina. A social campaign reaching 2m people on the smallest of budgets. Fame: 140k YouTube views in just the 1st week alone.
  • Expedia. Expect More.
    Expedia. Expect More.How do you show you have the scale of big legacy players and the agility of trendy start-ups? Battling for market share on two fronts is exhausting, especially in B2B. So we switched the dilemma on its head, a weakness into a strength. Businesses should Expect More than just the techie razzmatazz of start-ups and the we’ve-always-done-it-this-way clunk of the bigger, older players. And Paul even got an email from one of Expedia’s thoroughly pissed off competitors. Hilarious! Fame: 63k YouTub
  • Canopy. Nuffin'.
    Canopy. Nuffin'.How do you get renters to realise their rent each month does nothing for their credit score? “Rent is dead money”. The thing is, it doesn’t have to be. We flipped the perspective, zeroing in on their frustrations, using quirky colloquialisms to show they can get more bang for their buck. Commuters photographing Ads is always a good sign, and London’ers were posting these all over their instagram. Fame: 98% increase in app downloads in the first 6 weeks.
