  • Haribo
    HariboHOW CELEBRATING OUR INNER CHILD REINFORCED HARIBO’S BRAND FAME AND SALES DOMINANCE. THE CHALLENGE WE FACED No.1 it might be, but Haribo is a brand under constant threat. Confectionary is an increasingly competitive market, where promiscuous consumers buy on impulse driven by novelty. And there is always something new and interesting to buy. To help Haribo maintain its market leading position, we had to keep the brand mentally salient and emotionally relevant, reminding people why ‘kids and grown

  • HELEN BAMBER FOUNDATION
    HELEN BAMBER FOUNDATIONHOW PUTTING A HUMAN FACE TO HUMAN TRAFFICKING GAVE THE ISSUE WORLDWIDE PROMINENCE. THE CHALLENGE WE FACED There can be a degree of blissful ignorance that surrounds the sex trade, seeing it as a bit of ‘nudge nudge, wink wink’ fun. After all, isn’t what happens between consenting adults their own choice? Sadly though, the reality is often very different. The sex trade in the UK can be nothing less than slavery for many of the women involved. They are (very literally) the life blood of people tra
  • For Goodness Shakes
    For Goodness ShakesHOW COURTING CONTROVERSY BROUGHT FOR GOODNESS SHAKES BRAND FAME AND NEW DISTRIBUTION. THE CHALLENGE WE FACED Convention said mix-it-yourself powders were the proper way to do protein shakes. It’s what hard-core body builders used, so everyone else thought they should do the same. Despite being more convenient, pre-mix options were seen as second best. With a nominal media budget, our challenge was to deliver instant fame at launch which challenged these preconceptions, establishing For Goodness Shakes as a credible option for a more mainstream user. THE TRUTH WE CELEBRATED For gym going guys, it’s all about image. So this was our angle of attack – make them feel uncomfortable about current behaviour. Because the fact is, when you see someone cas­u­ally shak­ing a pro­tein mixer, it doesn’t just look faintly ridicu­lous; it often looks like they’re enga­ging in a rather less savoury act altogether! THE MIND BOMB WE CREATED Start­ing with the pro­pos­i­tion that ‘we shake so you don’t have to’, and with a need to get people talk­ing and shar­ing on a minimal spend, there was really only one place for us to go! Pro­mot­ing the no-fuss bene­fits of an already mixed pro­tein shake, we developed a cheeky social film, seeded to relevant communities and opinion formers, dram­at­iz­ing the prob­lems with doing ‘it’ in pub­lic that all guys would instantly recognize and connect with. THE EFFECT WE DELIVERED With only £15k to spend on social seed­ing, this was a truly viral sensation, gen­er­ating over 1m views in a month, with a sim­ilar volume of PR. And given that there is no such thing as bad pub­li­city, being banned on the basis of just one com­plaint pushed coverage further still. In busi­ness terms, the film proved a potent call­ing card and talk­ing point with retail buy­ers, help­ing For Good­ness Shakes secure list­ings in Tesco and to well exceed their volume expect­a­tions in the process.

    Championing Diversity: this Black History Month, meet 100 creatives inspiring changeWe asked 11 of our creative heroes to each nominate 10 leading black change makers and creators who are shaping the current climate with raw talent, big ideas and crazy hard work.

In addition, only 8% of senior positions have BAME representation. Spotlighting this subject is as important as ever. True d
