Projects credited in
  • IntoUniversity Aspire Newsletter
    IntoUniversity Aspire NewsletterFrom volunteers to sponsors to students using their services, IntoUniversity has a whole host of parties to keep connected and engaged. In fact, this poses one of their big challenges. Tasked with this problem, our solution was to take inspiration from a nation famed for its efficiency; cue our Berliner-style newsletter with its clear, clean design that effectively communicated the charity’s latest activity and successes. The client was so chuffed with how well this worked, we were commissioned to create quarterly editions – now, we’ll raise a stein to that.
  • Crestron & The Dorchester Hotel Partnership
    Crestron & The Dorchester Hotel PartnershipAs one of the world’s most famous luxury hotels, The Dorchester is quite simply the place to be in London. Crestron, working in partnership with The Dorchester, approached us to produce a ‘coffee table’ piece of literature to showcase to potential guests and companies how Crestron solutions (ranging from the concierge desk to the fully automated deluxe suites) were seamlessly and successfully integrated into this iconic building. With a luxury feel from the outset, the attractive ‘coffee table’ book we produced was as 5 star as the services offered by both The Dorchester and Crestron – fitting perfectly with the surroundings and the brands involved.
  • Alexandra Bell Photography
    Alexandra Bell PhotographyEclectic and multi-disciplinary, Alexandra Bell is pretty much a dab hand at all things photography, winning high acclaim on the Walthamstow Art Trail for her informal portraits and street photography. We helped to bring her approach to life by creating a clean, subtle and elegant identity to reflect how her distinct styles come together to create something beautifully unique.
  • Crestron Interactive Room Guide – Sobha Development
    Crestron Interactive Room Guide – Sobha DevelopmentWith new tech it can often be a challenge to explain and demonstrate how exactly it works, let alone its potential for consumers. We helped to showcase Crestron, and its technology, as part of an interactive guide at the new hotly-anticipated Hartland residential development in Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum City, Dubai. The interactive guided tour we created enabled potential buyers to discover and explore Creston’s automated technology by running independently on any screen within the showroom and or by the potential buyers themselves navigating around the showroom on various tablet devices. Ultimately, it helped to bring Creston’s technology to life for one of its target audiences.
  • Investors in People – Raising the Standard since 2015
    Investors in People – Raising the Standard since 2015September 2015 saw the conclusion of a year-long project which redefined the Investors in People Standard and framework. Working closely with the IIP team from the very start of the project we produced a new suite of marketing literature both on and offline which re-established their brand and redefined their business offering to their key audiences!
  • MGallery & Sofitel Sensory Storytelling Adventure
    MGallery & Sofitel Sensory Storytelling AdventureLuxury hotel brand Sofitel’s PR agency commissioned us to design a piece of communication for their new ‘Sensory Storytelling’ olfactory service. Sofitel invited scentologist Lizzie Ostrom to create a range of scents for guests at three of their showcase hotels. These fragrances were created in response to the heritage of each hotel’s story and brought to life a moment of its cultural history – from the fashionable beauty products of Regency spa towns to a bouquet inspired by the Victorian art of ‘floriography’ and an aroma inspired by Windsor Great Park. We designed a bespoke piece of literature that evoked the association of smell without needing the final piece to actually be scented. We achieved this by using evocative imagery, textured papers and a elegant print finish to deliver a brochure that gave guests both a connection with the hotel and the sensory story it told.
