This set of 9 illustrations helped communicate the fascinating ideas and science behind the app.

Agency: PGA Branding

Time to Care

We produced a set of illustrations for IDS’ Women’s empowerment campaign.

Women's empowerment doesn't mean paid work at all costs. Without access to public services and decent jobs, women's bodies and minds are becoming depleted. This is not sustainable for them, their families, and the economy. It's time to care. It's time to act.

Client: Institute of Development Studies

The Talent Crossing

We re-named the brand (from Chill Fish HR to The Talent Crossing) giving a bold call to arms: ‘Recruitment Reimagined’. The identity and messaging position the company as a dynamic sector leader. With a confident new positioning as a champion for new and flexible ways of working with a human over automation approach.

Client: The Talent Crossing

Know The Score

Global HIV campaign animation encouraging young people to get tested.

Client: Avert

Culture Co

In a sector full of super-corporate, overly wordy brand communications we created a stand-out, super-bold identity for culture consultancy: Culture Co. The new identity was built around the notion of ‘Soulful Science’: blending the principles of high-performance with a caring, human curiosity about what it takes for people to thrive at work.

The brand messaging and identity blends an uplifting vision of how great cultures can transform the experience of work, alongside a clear and compelling methodology and strong commercial case for investing.

Client: Culture Co

15below

15below is a rapidly growing start-up that transforms the experience of travel through automated customer communications. As a result they had a need to get their staff on-board to participate in their well-being at work initiative.

We created a sub-brand for their internal well-being program which consisted of four quarters: mental health, financial health, physical health and holistic health. We created a logo system along with illustrations, icons and templates.

115 Miles

The Power of Small

We responded to MSF's brief for a funding campaign animation with the "the Power of Small" concept - a simple proposition to communicate that, to maintain its independence, the charity does not receive government funding. Instead it is reliant on many small, individual donations. This was expressed visually with the metaphor of many small polygons falling to join together and form larger things. The final sequence is a beautifully crafted "papercraft" animation which uses the journey of an MSF Land Cruiser to convey the dynamism of the organisation and powerfully persuade the viewer to "do something small, do something powerful and sign up to a regular donation".

Client: Medicins Sans Frontiers

Future Everything

A series of animations to help explain the work of Future Everything - an organisation exploring the intersection of technology, art and culture.

Giving Voice

The Royal College of Speech and Language Therapy commissioned us to produce an animation to raise awareness of their Giving voice campaign. Our conceptual approach provoked thought and empathy by avoiding the patronising clichés of suffering and pity. Instead we created a psychedelic visual feast of speech bubbles, conveying the expressive power of speech, which is then poignantly shut down and silenced. The animation was short-listed for a Blades Award.

Client: Royal College of Speech and Language Therapy

Big Energy Race

The Big Energy Race is a national challenge for community groups and individuals, designed to help those taking part to reduce their household energy bills. We worked with design agency Neo to explain and get people excited about the initiative.

Last Summer

Client: Neo / Motor Neuron Desease Association

Strange Molecules

Strange Molecules is a web app covering the essential facts on “legal highs” – plus help and advice.

It was commissioned by ChangeGrowLive, a social care and health charity.

We created a beautifully designed, online source of the most current and reliable information on “Legal Highs”, with content designed to be convenient for a quick-fire ‘search, learn and leave’ usage style. This approach is borne out of our understanding (informed by research and consultations with several different groups of young people) that to achieve the objective of becoming a credible brand, the solution should be private, relevant and objective (never alarmist or patronising), visual and succinct.
