Summary
Our audience was as spoiled as Veruca Salt: “I want it now!” Luxury customers who can afford almost anything and are accustomed to both variety and plentiful inventory. Why wait months on end for sight-unseen Cadillacs?
For a brand that once set the standard in American luxury, a name synonymous with success and having “made it,” Cadillac more recently suffered from both low sales and low opinion. In 2019, market share dipped to just 7% of the luxury market. In 2020, brand opinion was less than half that of top tier makers like Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Lexus (Cadillac at 15 points, vs top tier lux brands at 30+ pts, per internal brand tracking studies). And quality scores were also low, with Cadillac just one point above industry average in the 2020 J.D. Power IQS Study.
In 2021, with this as our backdrop and within our I-want-it-now culture, we had to convince thousands of potential customers that four never-been-seen-before Cadillacs were worth waiting for.
But we centered in on a human experience insight: no one likes to wait… but anticipation is a pleasure.
We realized we could “shorten” the wait and intensify desire by promoting the specialness and rarity infused in these Cadillacs.
We enlisted the designers, engineers, and craftspeople behind the Escalade, CT4 & CT5 Blackwing, and LYRIQ to speak first-hand to the uniqueness and exclusivity imbued in every detail.
Our CRM campaigns combined storytelling with data and tech know-how, netting
Cadillac reservation sell-outs three times in a row.

Hyundai USA
Summary
With the launch of the all-new 2022 Tucson, Hyundai recognized that the popular compact SUV would be competing in the most competitive auto
segment against well-known entries from Ford, Toyota, Nissan and Honda. Popular opinion would be to head for familiar terrain and order up a large ad
buy in the 2021 Super Bowl. Hyundai traded the clutter of the Super Bowl, however, in favor of something unprecedented...a cross-division campaign
across The Walt Disney Company.
The mandate was clear: to sell the benefits of the all-new 2022 Tucson against formidable competitors from Nissan and Toyota, we needed to create an
emotional connection with consumers — and :60 seconds in the Super Bowl was not going to suffice. Enter: Hyundai’s “Question Everything” campaign,
which even had our media/planning teams questioning long-standing traditions and beliefs.
In the end, we threw all the “best practices” out the window in order to transform the traditional media partnership. We splashed the all-new 2022 Tucson
across Disney (with a longer campaign window) in the content that consumers love, and did it in a way that was wholly original. The aspiration: entertain
while also informing audiences about every single benefit the Tucson touts.

Megabus
Summary
Megabus, famed for its £1 journeys and cartoon bus driver identity, didn’t generate a whole lot of brand love. So, how could we engage an over 55 audience – who don’t historically use the service - emotionally, and make the brand stand for something other than low-cost travel?
By reuniting them with their grandkids, after months of enforced distance and isolation during the pandemic. Our Grand Reunion campaign, offering free travel for grandparents to see their grandchildren for free, for a year was a brilliantly novel, emotive, shareable and scalable PR idea with bags of video content potential and commercial legs.
The impact? Perception of Megabus as a brand suitable for over 55s skyrocketed from 8% to 57% post campaign, 10,000 grandparents actively engaged with the Grand Reunion trial ticket, and we secured 60+ pieces of coverage.

Summary
After a year of lockdown, the deadly pastime of train track trespassing had reached record levels due to a mixture of boredom and a worrying new social media trend for ‘danger-posting’.
Our comms approach couldn’t pussyfoot around this issue as young lives were being needlessly lost every day. Enter, ‘The Waiting Room’ - an emotionally-driven installation in Newcastle, one of the worst affected areas of the UK, serving as a stark reminder of the consequences of playing on the tracks. Families were confronted with a perfect recreation of a child’s bedroom which was never returned to due to the devasting impact of track trespassing. With homework half written, an unmade bed and clothes abandoned across the floor, it brought to life the emotional and shattering impact on the people left behind. And most importantly, it provoked an 85% increase in conversations between parents and children about the dangers.
Delivering agenda-setting broadcast, print and online coverage across regional and national media, this purposeful and moving campaign shifted attitudes and created conversation.

Unilever
Summary
All Things Hair (ATH) is the leading global destination for hair care inspiration, tips and advice. Every year, this content hub sees monumental audience growth and user engagement, welcoming tens of millions of consumers – all generated through organic traffic. Just six years ago, ATH was a YouTube channel, today the brand is present in 10 markets across 11 websites, 7 Instagram and 2 Pinterest channels. So, how did ATH get to where it is today?
In 2016, Unilever appointed Green Park to develop a strategy that would transform their influencer-led ‘All Things Hair’ YouTube channel into an online destination. Individual haircare brands were competing for the same needs-based content and were up against established publishers and platforms within the world of beauty and lifestyle.
Independent research showed inspiration searches were dramatically increasing and publisher or beauty sites were the main providers of this content as opposed to brands. As a result, Unilever quickly realised that consumers were looking for brand agnostic advice to enable their onward journey. Green Park transformed ATH into a one-stop content hub for style guides, product tips, tutorials and trends to showcase Unilever’s range of hair care products, as well as a platform for social commentary.
Each piece of content is carefully crafted to deliver against relevant search queries, putting the audience first with relevant recommendations and targeted, engaging content that informs, educates and engages a broad demographic. The result? ATH has undoubtedly solidified itself as a trusted voice of authority in all things hair.

Summary
What is the long-term marketing strategy of the most successful e-commerce brands?
They know that their business only grows only if they can scale their loyal customer base. Yet, most marketing programs tend to focus on short-term objectives - efficiency (ROAS) and revenue.
To counter this, Crealytics developed a technology + service solution that transforms and unifies the measurement strategies of e-commerce retailers. “Project Northstar” is our multi-year, multi-phase approach to help retailers transition from a short-term focus to one that aligns with long-term business profitability, most notably Customer Lifetime Value. Examples of customers that have gone through this transformation include Staples, Lands’ End, and Urban Outfitters, among others.
There are three major phases of Project Northstar:
1. Business Alignment. A shift in measurement philosophies goes beyond the marketing team. The C-suite must drive this forward, and finance, merchandising, and operations all play a role in unifying behind a new measurement.
2. Data Activation. By activating first-party customer data within the bidding systems of Google and Facebook, we effectively teach the AIs of these networks to acquire customers that are most likely to become long-term brand loyalists.
3. Predictive CLV. The question of whether a loyal customer is bought or made is a tricky one. However, we developed a platform that helps our partners understand the overall long-term contribution across various timeline windows. Furthermore, the platform incorporates incrementality measurements to ensure proper impact and attribution.

Summary
Weetabix has two strands of advertising, one is equity driving advertising and the other is consumption driving advertising. The consumption (any-which-way-a-bix) strand was starting to wear out and we needed to reinvigorate it.
We re-edited the ad, using a combination of new and existing footage to make it more relevant to the Covid lockdown the nation was experiencing at the time. We revised the media channels we were using to become more efficient and effective (the holy grail).
All this combined to deliver incredible growth in awareness, and equity measures along with market share growth and a 52% improvement on what was already a gold standard RoI.

Embraer
Summary
Despite a world challenged by Covid and lockdown and an industry that focuses on physical events, Embraer, a regional jet manufacturer based in Brazil added more activities to its multichannel campaign than previous years.
Physical events were replaced by virtual online events, webinars, demonstrations, industry gatherings and physical experiential activities were replaced by video, VR/AR and animation. The outcome is that this new way of interacting with customers has been so successful there will be no turning back!
Aviation manufactures are being challenged by airline operators trying to understand the dynamics/profitability of air travel post covid and how to achieve their environmental targets as climate change becomes the world’s number one priority.
The new Embraer – Profit Hunter campaign ‘A force with nature’ addressed this appetite and provided content across all platforms to satisfy what can only be described as an insatiable appetite for thought leadership in unprecedented circumstances.
This campaign deserves to win because the campaign adapted quickly from previous go to market campaigns to fit the new reality of Covid and in so doing outperformed not only all previous campaigns but all other manufacturers campaigns including the giants, Boeing and Airbus.

Wickes
Summary
In 2021, Bauer Media and Wickes celebrated a decade of their partnership together, yet it has never been so integrated, creative, brave and effective.
Having demonstrated that Bauer could help Wickes find the right tone of voice when the pandemic hit, it was perfectly placed to help celebrate a newfound or rediscovered love of home improvement during the pandemic. Wickes’ target audience had also evolved, with younger, female DIYers becoming even more engaged in the sector.
Working with agencies The Story Lab and Carat, the campaign for this year had three objectives: to drive brand consideration, change perceptions and increase conversion.
The Absolute Radio sponsorship became the backbone, and the long-term mutual trust and understanding in each other’s brands led to the exploration of new audiences within the Bauer portfolio, with the campaign extending to KISS, Planet Rock and Grazia.
The campaign hit all objectives and the client was thrilled, leading to Wickes renewing the partnership for another 18 months with increased investment.

Callaway Golf
Summary
In April 2021, the DP World Tour staged a Guinness World Record attempt of epic proportions. Filmed on a runway in York, professional golfer Marcus Armitage had to land a golf ball into a moving car at a distance of over 273 yards to break a record previously set in 2012.
Filmed with sponsor Callaway Golf, this was a unique way of showcasing Callaway’s recently launched driver to consumers through a creative activation that would drive earned conversations online and capture the attention of a much more varied and far-reaching audience than traditional hard core golf enthusiasts.
This was the most ambitious production we had ever staged, incorporating 12 cameras, 2 cranes, 39 crew onsite and a car travelling at speeds of over 170mph. Produced entirely in-house, The Farthest Golf Shot Caught in a Moving Car and its follow-up content received global media acclaim, reaching 60m people on the Tour’s social media platforms alone, amassing 41m views and 4.2m engagements, making it our most successful video of all time. For Callaway, it secured an incredible $11.7m in brand media value.

In 2021, online abuse in sport peaked at record levels. BT, a sports broadcaster and connectivity provider, wanted to lead the fight against it.
Along with Wunderman Thompson, they used the modern game’s most valuable asset – data – and redirected it away from pitch analysis to reveal the game’s ‘Unseen Stats.’
The proprietary Artificial Intelligence (AI) surfaced these shocking stats and quickly became our springboard to agitate, educate and get the public affiliated to our cause. The stats launched live on BT Sport, their social channels and in content and PR. The impact was a 25% decrease in online abuse over launch weekend. And long term, a re-introduction of the Online Safety Bill to parliament.

THIS™
Summary
THIS™ was founded by ex-meat fanatics, Andy Shovel and Pete Sharman in 2019. The aim was to create a plant-based meat brand for meat-lovers, which remains at core of the business and its approach to marketing.
Through its provocative and authentic sense of fun, THIS™ is changing perceptions of what it means to try meat-free. Under the campaign of THIS™ Changes Everything, its multi-channel approach engages a new audience with plant-based food. From cheekily ‘sponsoring’ the Leicestershire village, Quorn, to fooling an entire Italian food show that its products are artisan meat. It has now fooled over 7000 people on camera that its products are meat. It uses content to inject a level of personality into a sector traditionally led by a lot of worthiness.
It is now a high-growth, VC-backed emerging leader in producing plant-based food. It’s bulldozing stereotypes around plant-based food and drawing more meat eaters into the category through its bold marketing and pioneering innovation.

Mars Wrigley
Summary
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single Bounty will be left at the bottom of a Celebrations Tub.This entry details how we drove festive fame & sales for Mars Celebrations by highlighting an uncomfortable brand truth that most confectionery marketeers would shy away from: namely that not all chocolates are created equal. By admitting that some choccies are loved more than others, our creative subverted tired festive tropes and sparked a nation-wide debate - all whilst celebrating the Bounty and the Celebrations tub in an original and entertaining way. On a modest production budget, we achieved blanket nationwide coverage and millions of video views. More pertinently, our campaign got people talking about Celebrations and drove product distinctiveness during the key Christmas sales period. To top it off, our low-cost online hero video, which never aired on TV, ended up being independently judged as one of the top 5 most effective ads of the festive season.

Sports Direct
Summary
Capitalising on the energy and positivity of EURO 2020, Sports Direct’s ‘Just A Game!?’ campaign elevated the brand, changed perception and landed the store as the go-to football destination for young players and fans across the country.
A truly 360° campaign debuting on TV, igniting across social media and resulting in a mass participation event that enabled hundreds of thousands of children to play the game, the campaign was a rousing celebration of why football is more than ‘Just A Game!?’
The campaign was spearheaded by cult icon Eric Cantona, who played St Luigi Scrosoppi, the Patron Saint of Football, who led the rally cry for football evangelists everywhere and with the help of the biggest stars of the tournament seeked to convert non-believers.
Anchored in football insight, the campaign drove reappraisal of the brand showing that Sports Direct truly understand football, driving its credibility in the game.

McDonald's
Summary
No, you’re not hallucinating, we really are submitting an April Fool’s idea for The Drum Awards. And what?
We’ll tell you what – April Fool’s might be a bit ‘PR 101’ to some, but there was nothing basic about this idea.
Our idea: offer McDonald's customers a portion of three fries to give to their chip-pinching mates. The clever bit? A post-midday redemption offer that was the most successful of its kind in the brand’s history.
It wasn’t an April Fool’s stunt for the sake of it, but a brilliantly creative idea, founded in a brand truth, which led to delivering against a commercial objective.

Summary
When Messi broke Pele’s 46-year-old record of 643 goals for one club, Budweiser flipped the script. When everyone was talking about Messi, we focused on those who challenged him every step of the way. The goalkeepers. A group of players with large social followings who shared a reciprocal respect with Messi.
We produced personalised Budweiser bottles for each of Messi’s 644 goals, one for every keeper he’d scored against. Distributed through an exclusive roster of 50+ influencer partners and 160 goalkeepers, we enabled a groundswell of conversation and engagement from the exact moment 644 was scored, owning newsfeeds and share-of-voice. Without any paid media support, Budweiser became the #1 most talked about drink globally over the Christmas holiday. Owning 40% of all conversation around the record and with zero paid media, it generated 1,200+ news articles across 84 countries.

Summary
With the pandemic pausing people's social lives, outlets for young people to express themselves were removed. Football, music and culture were in flux and fans had to find new ways to connect with their passion points and heroes.
The idea was simple. What if at a time when fans were stuck indoors, isolated from the world, they could play football alongside the best players in the world through a simple choreographed routine with Pepsi at the heart. The #PepsiChallenge used TikTok’s Duet feature, releasing films with Leo Messi, Shanice Van De Sanden, Paul Pogba and Jadon Sancho that fans at home could duet with.
The challenge harnessed the rich cultural crossover between football and music, leveraging TikTok and partnering with music artists Becky G and Burna Boy to create a bespoke football-inspired soundtrack for the challenge.

Walkers, PepsiCo
Summary
It has never been so clear that the UK is a nation of crisp lovers. The number one time people grab a packet of Walkers is at lunch, and the number one accompaniment is a sandwich, which brings us to the big question - where should those Walkers Crisps be placed: #CrispIN or #CrispOUT? To ignite the national debate, BDB hijacked a cultural phenomenon (Ramsay Reacts) and embedded the brand in an authentic way. Our influencer-led social media series leveraged A-list talent including Olly Murs, Laura Whitmore and Martin Kemp to join the debate and give their allegiance to either #crispIN or #crispOUT in video content. If you don’t fight for your lunch sarnie it’ll grab the attention of hungry critics. And they don’t come more hungry than Gordon Ramsay, who judged their creations in the style of his incredibly popular #RamsayReacts TikTok series, fuelling the nation to jump into #CrispIN #CrispOUT conversations. BDB and Walkers outperformed industry benchmarks and KPIs - relevance, uplift, and awareness - through meticulous talent casting, clear briefing, and elevation of Walker’s debate - all during lockdown. Thanks to the success of the campaign, BDB is creating Walkers Lunch 2.0 to drive more talkability and sustain the debate.

YouTube
Summary
Music consumption patterns have permanently changed with the rise of short-form video—consumers engage with music in bite-sized chunks and interact with it by participating in challenges and sharing their opinions online.
To gain awareness for YouTube’s new Short Form Video platform, YouTube Shorts, we wanted to engage our audience in an authentic way that brings them to our platform, willingly.
We pushed the status quo for traditional music release campaigns and created an unmissable music moment by teasing an entire album like never before—with only short-form videos.
Four days before the launch of Ed Sheeran’s new album "=", we created 14 short-form music videos featuring all 14 new tracks, giving fans a sneak peek into the much anticipated album with special, intimate, playful content.
Gen Z is less receptive to advertising and desires a deeper, more personal connection with the artists they love. This campaign was designed to address them in a way that is relevant and represents how they engage with the world.
YouTube Shorts remained the only place where fans could experience all 14 songs. They couldn’t get enough as they posted, shared, and created their own shorts.
This campaign was the first of its kind and revolutionized how fans consume new music by allowing them to interact with an entire album on YouTube Shorts, before it officially launched.

LELO
Summary
How do you advertise a product on TikTok, when you can’t show the product?
Sexual wellness and luxury intimate lifestyle brand, LELO, came to Fanbytes to help them grow awareness of their brand and product range on TikTok.
Not only did they want to build their next generation of customers, but they also wanted to help young people (particularly young women) to feel confident in their own sexuality, and to feel empowered enough to explore it in healthy ways.
The issue?
Due to TikTok’s restrictions around sexual content, it was very difficult to advertise on there. In fact, they initially had many of their videos taken down for ‘explicit content’ as they featured shots of the products and words such as ‘sex’ or ‘masturbate’.
Fanbytes worked with LELO to create a new strategy for TikTok; a bold strategy which did not show the LELO toys. Instead, we partnered with a diverse group of influencers who communicated LELO’s brand and products via messages of education and female sexual empowerment.
The result was a variety of content from educational to comedy. This then led to a dedicated TikTok landing page which was visually beautiful, video-first and tailored to a Gen Z audience.
The result was an incredible 1.3M+ views with 63K hearts and hundreds of positive comments. We drove nearly 30K clicks to the website and it also led to a shift in LELO’s overarching strategy towards brand vs product awareness.

Heinz
Summary
By the time soup season was on the menu in 2021, appetites for Heinz Big Soup had changed. Once a store staple, it was now battling supermarket delistings of its primary varieties and declining sales. We needed to warm the nation’s hearts and get them reaching out for a bowlful of Big Soup again.
But it wasn’t just Big Soup facing big problems; global supply chain issues meant that food shortages threatened to ruin festive cheer. A Christmas miracle was needed.
With Brits facing the prospect of an empty Christmas table, we served up Heinz Christmas Dinner Big Soup: a chunky, thick soup that featured every festive trimming – from turkey to pigs-in-blankets, stuffing to sprouts.
Our challenge was to get the nation talking about the festive products with a tin can budget, at a time when UK retailers were spending 10’s of millions on advertising. We built buzz for Christmas Dinner Big Soup on social to quickly sell out the limited edition cans and maintained the hype through smart activations, such as hijacking the John Lewis Christmas ad release with a hilarious TikTok parody.
Heinz Christmas Dinner Big Soup became the 5th most talked about campaign of the season, engaging a nation and driving strong brand results. A Christmas miracle did happen thanks to social. Consumers were now hungry again for Heinz Big Soup and buyers from major supermarkets were desperate to get the product on shelf, with one saying ‘I’ll take 100 pallets right now’.

Moxy Hotels
Summary
Tasked with launching a new youth brand hotel in Shanghai, we set out to achieve a world first, ”The Blank Canvas Hotel”.
For the first time in history, China’s youth feel emboldened to shake off the shackles of social pressure to “settle”, which created the derisory notion that Chinese Gen-Z are the “Tang Pin” (Lying-flat) generation.
With MOXY’s and its brand values, we wanted to tear down this notion, to show China and beyond, that Chinese Gen-Z are expressive, creative, and shaping culture not just consuming it. We positioned MOXY as “the home for the brave”.
We found 9 aspiring creatives and sent them custom-made concrete “mystery boxes” with a brief and tools to inspire… enlisting them to produce unique art pieces as permanent fixtures for the hotel – sculptures, graffiti, DJ-sets, installations, and more.
We told their story through a series of 18 videos tailored for Douyin (Chinese TikTok), and ran a #challenge, inviting others to create M.O.X.Y. from everyday objects, creating #MakeMoxyYours.
The campaign culminated in a landmark launch party art exhibition, celebrating Chinese youth culture, attracting KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders) on popular social platforms, alongside Shanghai tastemakers, including skateboarders, singers, foodies, artists, actors, models, and media.
This generated mass awareness with over 500M video views, 7M Likes, 7K UGC videos, 443K homepage visits, 143k location tag views, 407 PR placements, and a 90% occupancy rate in the weeks following.
Earned media coverage was valued at more than $5m USD, from a launch budget of $150k.

Ascend
Summary
In 2021, in the face of Asian hate, Digitas teamed up with Ascend to launch a campaign that would spark much-needed conversation around the invisible barriers that keep Pan-Asian professionals from achieving their potential in Corporate America.
30% of AAPI professionals report workplace discrimination. Yet the vast majority of people of other say discrimination against Asians is non-existent. We set out to show the world what’s beneath the numbers that prop up the ‘Asian success story’ and make people confront the truth about the AAPI experience with a call for systemic change.
Despite the fact that AAPI professionals often find success, so many are held back from reaching their full leadership potential due to bias, stereotypes and cultural differences. On one side, everything seems to be going great. They’re at the top of their careers. But on the Other Side, they’ve had to overcome real challenges to get there.
To illuminate the inequities faced by this community, The Other Side campaign centered around real stories from AAPI professionals across industries who volunteered to share deeply personal stories about their own Other Side experience. By sharing their stories across a multitude of platforms, but starting with LinkedIn, our goal was to leverage their influence to both educate and inspire action among both AAPI professionals and corporate executives with the power to create change within their organizations.

Brett Landscaping
Summary
The central purpose and proposition of the Brett Landscaping brand is “it’s not about paving, it’s about possibilities”. What drives the brand and what drives it’s people is a sense of pushing what could be achieved with outside spaces; combining product technology, technical expertise and the limitlessness of human imagination. It is people’s imaginations that we have always sought to inspire; to encourage Brett’s audiences to think beyond what they think they should have, but allow them to explore what it is they truly want to achieve with their outside space.
Having worked with Brett since 2019, SLG’s remit has been to build brand awareness among domestic and wholesaler audiences. In taking the relationship forward, SLG was tasked with not only increasing sales opportunities, but doing so in the business’ most profitable product category; porcelain paving. SLG needed to help Brett hit sales targets, pass on expensive stock and do so on a tight budget. SLG more than delivered!

Workplace from Meta
Summary
Workplace from Meta is collaboration software that connects everyone in an organisation and empowers them to do amazing work. It exists to bring everyone in a company together – from the barista serving coffee to the CEO chairing board meetings – ensuring every voice is heard.
Operating in a competitive enterprise market, Workplace needed to step out of the shadows of its consumer parent brand while quickly raising awareness and establishing credibility with a business audience.
Enter: Deskless not voiceless - Workplace’s platform for giving those without a traditional ‘desk’ a voice. In 2019 we launched an annual integrated campaign that explored the frustrations and lack of communication felt by frontline employees, caused by a disparity of experiences and technology between frontline and HQ. In 2022, we kicked things up a notch with insight-driven thought leadership and emotive video content, telling the story of 7,000 frontline workers and spotlighting life on the frontline at Virgin Atlantic and Royal Ambulance.
Against a backdrop of COVID-19 and The Great Resignation, this campaign championed frontline workers, empowering them to tell their stories, and showcasing how Workplace can help connect them with each other and the wider business.
And the results speak for themselves.

Finastra
Summary
The accelerated use of AI in financial services has led to algorithmic bias in the sector and discrimination against certain demographics when applying for finance. A big issue, that for the good of humanity, needed to be addressed.
To lead industry-wide change, global fintech solutions company Finastra worked with Silver to develop an impactful multi-channel campaign to start righting this wrong.
The objective was to engage people across financial services globally to first acknowledge a problem exists, and then work together to find a solution.
We needed to inspire multiple audiences to act, so we needed a broad (but purposeful) channel and content strategy.
Taking forward Finastra’s belief of the future of finance being OPEN, we created a movement entitled ‘OPEN by {Default}’.
Following conceptual creative development, a multi-channel strategy across owned, earned, and paid media was executed. This included PR, partner marketing, direct marketing, virtual hackathons, and social media.
The movement began.
The campaign was a global success, attracting over 600 registrations for the hackathons across 50+ countries, including Antarctica, with nearly 80% of the projects led by women.
The campaign picked up four Tier 1 press interviews featuring Finastra Execs, as well as 31 pieces of international coverage.

GenM
Summary
If you want change to happen, you don’t ask the audience being mistreated to change. You go to the source of the problem.
Formed by two women who were unwilling to settle for the invisibility of the menopause, GenM initially engaged Propaganda in 2021 looking for support to gain traction behind their organisation. From patronising portrayals to a lack of awareness, products, services and support for the menopause, GenM aimed to improve things for the UK’s 15.5 million menopausal women and those in transition.
Initially billed as the ‘Google’ of the menopause – a one-stop shop for menopausal consumers – Propaganda’s research soon identified a more impactful and sustainable proposition for the GenM.
A key market that had been overlooked by all existing menopause organisations, on Propaganda’s recommendation, GenM switched instead to targeting brands themselves. This created a holistic solution that would generate more significant and enduring social impact than any direct to consumer efforts the organisation could achieve.
Through two integrated campaigns, Propaganda has built up GenM’s brand equity among business audiences, as well as consumers. Alongside a total social media reach of 804,403, PR activity has delivered a total reach of 142.5 million, including titles like Forbes, The Times, Marie Claire, Daily Express, You (Mail on Sunday), Times Radio, and BBC Look North.
Since Propaganda relaunched GenM in October, 55 brands have become GenM Partners, publicly committing to improve the menopause experience – including JP Morgan, Royal Mail, M&S, Next, Co-op and WW.

Vodafone Business
Summary
In March 2020, the UK went into lock down in an attempt to contain the spread of Coronavirus. Overnight UK SMEs were unable to do business as usual, or even business at all. Their survival was crucial to the recovery of the UK economy, they needed to adapt quickly to survive – to digitally transform their businesses.
At Vodafone Business, we had the solutions and technology SMEs needed to thrive, but we had a perception problem – they considered us as a distant corporate rather than a credible technology partner. We needed a new communication’s platform; one that encapsulated our role and involvement in the lives of SMEs.
This saw us launch our SME Champion campaign, taking bold steps to execute differently, releasing a Netflix-style event series, followed by a multi-channel campaign including a WIRED partnership featuring our very own SME customers. What followed was beyond what we’d even expected – contributing to an increase of non-user consideration by 11 points, smashing our three-month traffic target by 57% and surpassing our online training sign-up target by over 13,000 people!

Mars
Summary
In the summer of 2020, a variety of historic racial injustices were thrown to the fore, prompting Mars Food to evolve the long-established Ben’s brand – from Uncle Ben’s to Ben’s Original.
But doing so risked destabilising a brand with long-standing equity and negatively impacting sales. So we needed to define a new brand platform that could unite all points of view.
Our solution, ‘Everyone’s Original’, was borne from the insight that ‘we are all individuals’, and if we can’t accept people’s individuality we can’t truly invite everyone to the table.
The launch campaign ‘We’re all original recipes’ elevated this idea by dramatizing the sense that everyone has a unique story to tell & original recipe to share. The campaign tells the story of six real families, all from a variety of backgrounds, and celebrates the unique ingredients that make them who they truly are - their own original recipes.
This re-launch was incredibly successful, seeing a 229% increase in purchase intent, a 42% increase in brand awareness, a 20% increase in household penetration (US) and a 10% increase in market share (US). Its performance far exceeded our expectations.
By actively listening to real people, and thoughtfully responding to social unrest due to racial injustices around the world, this inclusive, effective brand re-launch shows the importance of reflection before immediate action and the impact that can be had when brands take a more empathic approach in responding to societal changes.

Space & Time
Summary
As we continue to move towards an ever more connected, digital-first world, it stands to reason that the agency models that have served clients until now will not be best placed to serve them in the future. Adding to this the monumental changes that have impacted how we work over the last 18 months and it becomes even clearer that change is needed. In such a fast-moving industry, it’s imperative to keep up with changing customer needs, and Space & Time has managed to do just that by restructuring its business.
In August 2021, Space & Time repositioned itself as a growth marketing agency. Chris Jones, managing director, believes that the media agency model is broken and needs to be completely reinvented with a focus on client growth, a commercial mindset that drives long-term value not just short-term customer acquisition as well as a flexibility and fluidity in how agencies and clients work together to drive growth.
So came the restructure of Space & Time and introduction of four distinct front doors into the business: media, technology, performance creative and training. To ensure clients benefited from optimal engagement with these capabilities, the team pioneered Full Experience™, a unique and relevant proposition that will help brands unlock growth potential and business transformation.

Summary
Last year digital marketing found a new home - House Digital.
Following our relaunch from KW Digital to House Digital, we created a more sustainable agency model that brings our skills in-house to our clients.
Our research showed that 58% of marketers are planning to bring their digital spend in-house; brands want greater control, more agility and better value from their digital spend. House Digital offers the typical services that a digital marketing agency offers, but the impetus is on building these skills and developing them in-house over time.
House Digital equip our clients with the strategy, skills and confidence to become marketing experts. Our goal is to deliver long-term success for brands by helping them to do the right bits of work in-house, saving marketing spend for them to outsource what they really need to. And now we’ve relaunched - we have the results to back up our new way of living.

CareerBuilder
Summary
Fame. Fortune. Hustle. Success has a reputation in our culture. But it turns out, it doesn’t have much to do with how people define success for themselves. 97% of Americans cite getting to pursue their interests and talents as their version of success. As a brand that caters to the 60% of Americans without a college degree but plenty of ambition, we knew CareerBuilder could be the job platform that stood for helping people find meaning in work.
“Let’s Job It Up” celebrates what it feels like for job seekers to finally get what they deserve. This integrated campaign and rebrand taps into too-real work situations to encourage job seekers to leave their unfulfilling jobs to find work that really works for them. CareerBuilder redefined personal success with a rallying cry for American workers during a time they needed it most.

Financial Times
Summary
In September 2021, the FT launched a new corporate brand campaign, 'Letters to this New World'. A rallying cry that encourages public reflection on life before and after the pandemic and importantly, gives voice to the lessons learned by us all.
The content-led campaign features a series of hard-hitting open letters addressing themes like climate change, the world of work, digital finance and global inequality. High profile FT journalists including Martin Wolf, Gillian Tett, Pilita Clark and Paul Murphy penned their own letters to launch the campaign, each focused on their area of expertise. The entire Financial Times staff were then invited to contribute, by sending in their own letters about what is important to them - an important act of inclusion and unity following months apart from each other. Finally, we reached out to the public with a digital call to arms and also physical activations at targeted events - festivals and art fairs. Subsequently, celebrated thinkers and business leaders shared what they would like to see addressed post-pandemic or lessons learned, from the urgency of addressing climate change to the digital revolution.
The campaign was a strategic evolution to the FT’s ‘New Agenda’ brand platform, which boldly calls for a more responsible model of capitalism fit for the modern age - an unexpected standpoint from the world’s most renowned financial title. It clearly positions the FT as the leading destination for analysis and leadership on the most important global trends and themes in a rapidly changing world.

Asset Creation Team
Client
NRG Riverside
Summary
When a business with a 25-year heritage in truck rental, needed a relaunch to create marketing activity that represented their repositioning to a full services Fleet Management business, they commissioned new agency, Asset Creation Team as a marketing partner.
With insight from speaking with customers and internal teams, Asset Creation Team quickly identified that there was confusion around this new client’s business name and brand. This was resulting in little or no awareness within the industry, irrespective of the positive feedback their customers were sharing.
Within just six months of the new brand and communications, NRG Riverside have significantly increased sales year on year and are attracting higher calibre employees through their clear, confident and people-orientated positioning.
Asset Creation Team created a dynamic, eye-catching brand with customer-focused messaging and communications, that have transformed NRG Riverside. The re-launch has driven industry awareness; significantly increased sales; motivated and energised the internal teams; and quickly developed their positioning as leader in the specialist Fleet Management industry.
A ‘Thank you’ card from our client says, “Thank you so much for all the amazing work you have done for NRG Riverside. You have transformed our position in the market. Keep up the great work, it is really appreciated! Leigh”

Software AG
Summary
A brand campaign that drives real pipeline opportunities is an unheard-of phenomenon in B2B marketing. But this what Software AG and their agency achieved with their “Seamless is More” campaign in 2021.
All it took was strategy that unearthed a simple truth, creative that captured our audience’s imagination, and a data lead activation and media strategy that brought it all together.
With multiple taglines and sub brands in market, this campaign was designed to bring everything together with a single tone of voice, look and feel and overarching message that would connect the customer experience from brand through to demand.
We noticed that Software AG’s various offerings had one thing in common: they all helped companies seamlessly connect—both internally and with their partners and customers. The tagline “Seamless is More” combined with striking imagery of seamless connections brought the campaign to life.
The campaign used an integrated 1:Many Account Based Marketing motion that connected brand through to demand, providing a seamless customer experience designed to give us multiple touch points and engagements across the funnel so we’d have many levers for optimization and reporting.
This campaign drove awareness, while also achieving 490 actively engaged accounts, $13.9m entering pipeline, 95% account penetration, over 23 million impressions, and over 5,000 leads.

The Solicitors' Charity
Summary
As a result of Carswell Gould's far-reaching and insightful rebranding of The Solicitors’ Charity, engagement with the legal profession and the public has been outstanding. The number of relevant and valued individual contacts in CRM increased by 1399% in 2021. From just 60 contacts in January, the number rose to 900 records by October. Of that, 632 asked to join the Solicitors’ Register and in addition, the charity’s volunteer records have grown to more than 100 contacts. Carswell Gould's rebrand raised awareness of The Solicitors’ Charity with consistent delivery of social media posts, newsletters, advertising and PR and industry ‘Conversations’ to engage and inform.
In just 18 months, Carswell Gould transformed the 163-year-old charity into a modern, marketing-led operation; rebuilding every aspect of its proposition and go-to market strategy.
We devised a persona-centric strategy, rebuilt the vision, mission and values and used these to inform the charity’s renaming and its rebrand. Following brand development, we moved through to CRM/automation, website, content and campaign creation.
Ongoing communications have also been modernised using Salesforce, permission-based flow and marketing automation.
The charity’s objectives for the year include rolling out the brand and communicating change; doubling its database of solicitors and firms; increasing the number of solicitors it helps; increasing donations to £1,000,000 and ensuring high volume and consistency of engagement with the profession.
Carswell Gould now acts as the outsourced marketing team for this national charity.

The Royal Bank of Scotland
Client
NatWest Group
Summary
Achieving the unimaginable
Established in 1727, the Royal Bank of Scotland is Scotland’s largest bank with over 3 million customers. Royal Bank has a history steeped in acquisition and growth and was a source of pride for Scotland for 100’s of years.
That all ended in a spectacular crash and a public bail out in 2008. A succession of legacy issues meant the hits to the bank's reputation kept coming and RBS was plagued by bad news stories. This resulted in RBS being the most vilified brand in Scotland with public confidence at an all-time low.
In 2015, after a period of operational recovery, it was the job of the marketing department to try to build consumer and staff confidence in the brand again.
Reputational damage of this scale required a ‘brief from the heart’ aimed at an emerging target market of under 35s. The brief was a recognition of the new bank we had become after several years of reparations; we had new leadership, new values and a pledge to always put our customers first.
Following a meticulously planned campaign of activity and brand relaunch, seven years on, Royal Bank is now the most considered bank in Scotland with the under 35 audience - translating into market share.
This paper steps out the details of this journey, and how we achieved the biggest brand turnaround of the decade.

Klarna
Summary
With eCommerce booming, Klarna's core service of providing simple and safe payment solutions is invaluable. They operate a Buy Now Pay Later service which is growing fast but often has a bad reputation. In early 2021, misconceptions about Klarna were spreading in the national press and on social media. We needed to set the record straight about their services - and to build trust with shoppers aged 25 to 44.
It was this challenge that formed the basis of their ‘Discover the Truth’ communications. What better way to dispel myths and raise awareness of their brand than through a public and trusted channel like Out of Home (OOH). But rather than dispelling the myths by simply stating the facts, we tackled them head on and invited people to Discover the Truth for themselves.
Klarna fused OOH with Mobile to create a fun and interactive game. Creating stand out and connecting at a far deeper level with the audience.
Partnering with renowned artist Ignasi Monreal, seven common myths were woven into seven visually stunning paintings and displayed on real-world OOH canvases including interactive murals and the Waterloo domination. Pavement chalk stencils provided a directional call to action inviting consumers to take part in the challenge.
The combination of impactful media, striking creative and gamification delivered something spectacular – over 160,000 people visited the Klarna gallery, and 45,000 people dispelled all seven myths. More importantly brand trust increased from 59% to 68% during the campaign period.

Ladder
Summary
In the fall of 2021, Ladder launched the company's first brand campaign on the heels of a $100M Series D fundraise.
Developed in partnership with AdAge’s 2020 Newcomer Agency of the Year FRED & FARID, and directed by award-winning director and costume designer Casey Storm (of Spike Jonze and David Fincher credits), Ladder’s “So Good” campaign is built around a unique consumer insight: almost 1 in 2 couples with life insurance joke about taking each other out for the payout, according to a recent survey of 3,000+ respondents.
Centering on a family who has booby trapped their home, the spot shows Dad expertly navigating his normal day-to-day of dynamite sticks and children’s archery bows, all the while lovingly humoring his very “creative” family. The commercial feels immediately relatable, yet completely unexpected. It is that combination of familiarity and surprise that enables the brand to cut through the noise in a unique way.
Ladder’s mission is to redeem life insurance for digital consumers — making it as accessible, affordable, and beloved as it should be. Part of it means facilitating the conversation around life insurance, which can feel intimidating. By reflecting back their own humor, Ladder empowers viewers to crack open that conversation in a way that feels familiar.
Ladder’s “So Good” spot is now live across the country on TV networks and streaming platforms, including Hulu, Roku, and Tubi.

Starling Bank
Summary
Starling Bank is on a mission to change banking for good. We partner with people & businesses that share our values & believe in doing the right thing; one such person is environmentalist & YouTube creator Jack Harries. Together, we collaborated on a content series to elevate the voices of underrepresented young people at COP26. For the documentary series, Jack made a carbon neutral journey across the UK. Travelling from the Isles of Scilly to COP26 in Glasgow, he collected stories on how the climate crisis is affecting lives. We aired the stories, including interviews with Barack Obama, Jane Goodall & Starling CEO & Founder Anne Boden at COP26 & projected the heroes behind them onto the Glasgow Armadillo. Sir David Attenborough even presented this content to the delegates at the summit itself, giving the overlooked victims of climate change a seat at the biggest table of all. As part of our wider brand awareness campaign, we wanted to challenge & disrupt the media landscape, act with purpose & offer something genuinely different - ‘Seat at the Table’, the name of the series, was our way to do this. Many consumers expect brands to help them make ethical choices, another reason that ‘Seat At The Table’ was something Starling was proud to support. The campaign delivered 50m impressions & reached 12m unique users in the UK & at the same time Starling saw the highest number of personal current account applications in the month the series launched.

HSBC UK
Summary
Without an address, the homeless find themselves in a lose-lose situation where not having a home makes it harder to open a bank account. This makes it harder to secure a legitimate job or claim benefits. Which makes it harder to find a home. It’s a vicious circle. To break this cycle of financial exclusion, HSBC UK partnered with Shelter to create the No Fixed Address Service. The bank provides the homeless with bank accounts using the charity’s address as proof of identification.

ALA Insurance
Summary
Only 1/10 motorists take out GAP Insurance yet, if a vehicle is written off or stolen, comprehensive insurance providers could only pay as little as 40% of the vehicle's purchase price.
So, ALA GAP Insurance set influencer Louise Boyce aka @Mamasstillgotit_ a challenge. To find a replacement for her Volkswagen Touareg, using only the money she would have received if it was written off or stolen.
The social media campaign ‘Your Life’ showed Louise’s everyday struggles as a result of not being able to afford a like-for-like vehicle replacement, using just the comprehensive insurance pay out. The humorous, yet worryingly relatable content showed how the convenient features she once took for granted had been sacrificed as a result of not having ALA GAP Insurance. By leading with the emotional benefits, it gave space to deliver rational benefits in a way that was authentic and didn’t feel forced.
When you get into the nitty gritty of a topic like GAP Insurance, you can easily end up with a dry, instructional film. However, the chemistry between Louise and the crew, together with the relatable script and comedic editing, has created something far more watchable, driving tangible results.
The ‘Your Life’ campaign completely transformed how ALA Insurance approached acquisition. It provided a brand new creative and digital benchmark for the way they engaged with customers. This approach to brand partnerships on Instagram has set a precedent for the entire insurance industry, despite the brand’s uniquely difficult market conditions.

Summary
TAKIS are a new rolled tortilla chip that are sure to set the UK crisps market, and your mouth, on fire. But with tiny budgets and facing category behemoths like Walkers, we knew disruption would be essential to make any progress in this already crowded market. Taking inspiration the impending HFSS legislation and the bold nature of the brand you’d be forgiven for thinking TAKIS might defy the government and continue to nudge teenagers to try this intriguing new snack. But TAKIS are no ordinary snack, and neither was our approach. We harnessed the oldest trick in the book together with guerrilla and grass roots tactics to obliterate sales targets and secure our future on the shelves of Britain’s leading supermarkets.

Acora
Summary
Acora, an unknown IT services provider, embarked on a mission to reimagine their category and create a new normal for their industry.
For too long, IT services have been governed by Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that simply define which services the provider will deliver and to what level. But when an SLA is in place, there’s no requirement for the service provider to innovate for their customer.
For Acora to win market share in a crowded market, the traditional way of doing things wouldn’t suffice, so we changed the rules in our favour. We challenged the status quo and put their name on the map, creating an industry first, category defining service that changed business culture and moved with the times.
We launched Acora’s Experience Level Agreement (XLA), unlocking the true power of IT services by focusing on what matters most – the end user experience. Long Live the XLA became a call-to-arms for professionals to stand up against sub-par SLAs and demand more from their IT service providers – a movement highlighting the inadequacies of the industry standards and firmly positioning Acora as the new challenger leading much needed change in IT services.
The campaign achieved widespread coverage from industry analysts such as Gartner and Forrester. Their share of category searches more than doubled (an increase of 2.18%). And with share of search proven to be an accurate proxy for market share in IT services, this increase equates to a £4.7m uplift in sales revenue in just 4 months.

Moxy Hotels
Summary
Tasked with launching a new youth brand hotel in Shanghai, we set out to achieve a world first, ”The Blank Canvas Hotel”.
For the first time in history, China’s youth feel emboldened to shake off the shackles of social pressure to “settle”, which created the derisory notion that Chinese Gen-Z are the “Tang Pin” (Lying-flat) generation.
With MOXY’s and its brand values, we wanted to tear down this notion, to show China and beyond, that Chinese Gen-Z are expressive, creative and shaping culture not just consuming it. We positioned MOXY as “the home for the brave”.
We found 9 aspiring creatives and sent them custom made concrete “mystery boxes” with a brief and tools to inspire… enlisting them to produce unique art pieces as permanent fixtures for the hotel – sculptures, graffiti, dj-sets, installations and more.
We told their story through a series of 18 videos tailored for Douyin (Chinese TikTok), and ran a #challenge, inviting others to create M.O.X.Y. from everyday objects, creating #MakeMoxyYours.
The campaign culminated in a landmark launch party art exhibition, celebrating Chinese youth culture, attracting KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders) on popular social platforms, alongside Shanghai tastemakers, including skateboarders, singers, foodies, artists, actors, models, and media.
This generated mass awareness with over 500M video views, 7M Likes, 7K UGC videos, 443K homepage visits, 143k location tag views, 407 PR placements, and a 90% occupancy rate in the weeks following.
Earned media coverage was valued at more than $5m USD, from a launch budget of $150k.

Pantene
Summary
Pantene is passionate about representation with a legacy of driving change campaigns supporting communities facing discrimination. To launch the new “Miracles Silky & Glowing” range Pantene wanted to to drive meaningful brand engagement & product differentiation with positive impact.
The product USP of transforming how hair feels – from straw-like to Silky & Glowing - was identified as an opportunity for Pantene to drive an inclusive ambassador led campaign focused on a community to whom touch is THE most important sense – the visually impaired.
We partnered with Lucy Edwards; a visually impaired, beauty loving creator, presenter & journalist with stunning hair to inform our campaign strategy and Pantene worked with RNIB to introduce the ground-breaking Navi-lens technology on product packaging in-store at Superdrug.
We signed Lucy as Panteneʼs newest ambassador to feature in POS, TVCs and also create an Inclusivity Social Code of Conduct, an ʻindustry-firstʼ for the visually impaired community & an essential step forward in setting accessibility benchmarks for all leading-beauty brands and creators.
We ensured that the announcement of Lucy Edwards - as Pantene's first-ever blind ambassador - was not led by her disability but instead celebrated the fact that everyone can experience the pleasure of a good hair day.
PrettyGreen and What They Said delivered an impactful & purpose-led Miracles Silky & Glowing product launch campaign, powering Panteneʼs broader mission to drive inclusivity & accessibility by ensuring ALL people feel visible, powerful, & truly represented by the hair & beauty.

Redefine Meat
Summary
In November 2021, we assisted Redefine Meat in launching its line of New-Meat™ products in 3 new countries across Europe - Germany, the Netherlands and England.
As the product is currently only sold in restaurants, our challenge was to generate brand awareness and hype to the relevant audiences, all while their products were not yet commercially available.
We’ve faced this challenge by creating engaging visual & written content that encouraged potential customers to sign up for a “Waiting List” through which we collected leads.
We promoted a wide range of ads and organic content to announce the brand’s upcoming launch in Europe. By registering to the waiting lists, users were notified when Redefine Meat products were available in their area. Through these leads we are able to keep in touch with the audience in all four GEOs, targeting them in future campaigns, and continuously refreshing the brand’s promotional and organic content to ensure we keep them engaged.
This campaign had two different goals: brand awareness and the creation of a customer base in each country. Both goals also lend themselves to B2C and B2B marketing objectives, as they support Redefine Meat’s mission to expand its repertoire of partners (restaurants, distributors, hotels and more).

Sky UK Ltd
Summary
In 2021, after several years of development, Sky launched Sky Glass, a disruptive new technology product that will go on to have a profound impact on the home viewing experience. Sky Glass, the streaming TV from Sky, is a television set that combines all of the technology required for a customer to enjoy their favourite content platforms - Sky, Netflix, Disney+ etc - in one, easy to use, ultra HD device. Subscribers will no longer require external satellite dishes to receive Sky, they will no longer need external audio equipment to enjoy full cinema quality surround sound and they will be able to enjoy all their favourite content from their favourite platforms through one, simple subscription package. To launch Sky Glass, Sky developed an equally innovative, fully integrated, digital-first marketing campaign covering influencer outreach connected directly to social selling, world-first OOH and digital OOH activations, media partnerships, PR, radio and everything in between. The Sky Glass launch was the largest product launch ever executed in the UK.

Toyota
Summary
Toyota were missing out on a huge revenue opportunity. The number of Toyotas seen in their network for servicing (aka ‘Service Retention’) had been in decline since 2017 and flat for the previous decade. Despite the recognised quality, drivers serviced elsewhere because the perceived cost is too high.
To address this Toyota developed ‘Toyota Relax’. A ground-breaking new service proposition that gives drivers an extra 12-month warranty with every Toyota service for all cars up to 10 years old.
Through research and pricing analysis we were able to use ‘Toyota Relax’ to create a more positive value equation for consumers by anchoring a Toyota service to the higher perceived value of an extra 12-month warranty.
However, despite being motivating, it was still new and struggled from being seen as ‘too good to be true’. Customers worried there’d be a catch and that somehow they wouldn’t qualify.
This led to ‘Warranties for all’, celebrating the breadth of Toyota owners in all their glory, Requiring an inclusive, inviting and distinct campaign to cut through in the low interest ‘service’ category. Targeting customers both known and unknown to Toyota, it offered reassurance that whoever you are, and whatever state your car, as long as it’s under 10 years old, you still get a warranty.
This was a great success. Against a backdrop of continuing industry-wide servicing decline, post-launch Toyota saw a YOY increase of 7.1% (2021 vs 2020) in cars seen for service across the Toyota service network.

Whipshots
Summary
When Starco Brands recognized a need for disruption in the spirits industry, the company knew it had the opportunity to not only develop a game-changing product, but to orchestrate a cultural phenomenon. Enter Whipshots – a vodka-infused whipped cream developed in partnership with global artist and icon, Cardi B, that adds a playful shot of sophistication to any drink, dessert, or party. Shelf stable, non-dairy, and containing 10% Alc./Vol, Whipshots burst onto the market in December 2021 introducing a first-of-its-kind product that wholly reimagined the drinking experience. From shots to cocktails to desserts and more, the boozy whipped cream offered consumers a creative form of consumption that influenced a shift in social behavior driven by one of the most culturally significant artists in the world. Through a social-first launch strategy that leveraged influencer, PR, multimedia, and experiential marketing to drive excitement and create awareness, Whipshots was met with unprecedented demand during its first month of availability. Taking a page from sneaker culture, the company implemented a ‘Whip Drop’, releasing 500 cans per day throughout the month of December. The product sold out in seconds, every single day throughout the month. Consumers scrambled to get their own party, and in the process, ignited a cultural frenzy. Combining the innovative technology of Starco Brands with the global influence of Cardi B and a multifaceted communications strategy, Whipshots successfully took the internet by storm. With Whipshots, two disruptors joined forces with a game-changing product that continues to influence behavior and defy industry standards.

Tripadvisor
Summary
Throughout the pandemic, the travel industry struggled in a myriad of ways and Tripadvisor witnessed the challenges destination marketing organizations (DMOs) faced to keep their destinations and attractions top of mind at a time when consumers weren’t able to physically visit. With Tripadvisor’s goal of getting more travelers to consider new destinations and plan for future travel, it was important to inspire and engage consumers to help rebuild confidence in travel.
Enter: Alexa Skill. Tripadvisor created an audio-immersive experience where Alexa customers can explore all that destinations have to offer while in the comfort of their home. This first-of-its-kind experience was a perfect fit for Tripadvisor campaigns with Visit Orlando and Abu Dhabi because it gave future travelers a new and innovative way to learn about these destinations and virtually explore them.
For example, Alexa customers can simply say “Alexa, explore Abu Dhabi” and be taken on an immersive voice tour of the destination where users can choose their own adventure to explore Abu Dhabi. And by simply saying “Alexa, launch Visit Orlando,” users are guided through an immersive experience where they can explore the destination’s many restaurants, hotels and must-see attractions, using only their voice. Tripadvisor reviews and rating are seamlessly integrated through the content, lending Tripadvisor’s trust and community to the consumer’s journey.
The activation was promoted across Tripadvisor (on and offsite) as well as across Alexa Skill, leveraging Tripadvisor's first-party audience segments to reach a qualified and engaged consumer for Visit Orlando and Abu Dhabi.

George at Asda
Summary
Every media textbook written in the last 30 years will tell you the same thing - that to win SOV you need the highest spend. We decided that it was high time we used data to rewrite the book on SOV.
By rethinking the way we buy TV and using some smart data and tech, we were able to match George shopper CRM data to TV viewing habits. That one small change was enough to move up to 1st place SOV despite being 3rd in spend. Couple that with creative that was developed using insight from our CRM and it’s no small wonder why George was able to drive twice as many sales per TVRs as their 2019 campaign and rewrite all of the rules when it comes to SOV.

Summary
Q: What do you get if you cross Virgin Media’s brand purpose of ‘facilitating human connections’ with hologram technology and pizza during a pandemic?
A: The Two Hearts Pizzeria of course. A dining experience connecting loved ones who hadn’t seen each other for months, to share a virtual pizza whilst sitting at opposite ends of the country. Delivered through hologram technology and powered by Virgin Media’s superfast broadband.
75 pieces of coverage and 1.2million views of the branded content later - 48% who had seen the campaign content said they’d recommend Virgin Media and 24% of non-customers said they’d switch. That’s a superfast result in our opinion.

Heart of London Business Alliance
Summary
It is no secret that the hospitality, retail, and leisure sector were hit HARD by Covid-19… and nowhere was this impact felt more acutely than London’s once thriving West-End. Heart of London Business Alliance, the non-profit membership organisation responsible for marketing the district, started 2021 with a serious challenge… How to bring visitors and life back to the deserted streets of what was once one of the world’s top tourist destinations?
To achieve this, Premier created ART OF LONDON. A season of free, socially distanced public art and culture events which through summer 2021 transformed the West-End into an interactive gallery without walls. Headline grabbing activations included the UK’s biggest ever public art commission, a world-first augmented reality gallery, artist takeovers on the iconic Piccadilly Lights, A-list celebrity designed charity statue trails, and the creation of new collaborative partnerships which for the first time brought together the UK’s biggest art institutions including the National Gallery, the Royal Academy of Arts and The National Portrait Gallery. The project smashed all footfall, engagement, coverage and commercial KPIs in its inaugural year, becoming a key pillar in the capital’s Covid recovery strategy whilst re-establishing central London’s place as the world’s leading destination for cultural experiences.

Freesat
Summary
In the super-competitive world of TV entertainment providers, Freesat had a perception problem.
Their brand proposition was rooted in value, inadvertently created an association with ‘cheap’ and being perceived as a downgrade.
Logically, Freesat’s subscription-free proposition should have been a match-made in TV heaven with their target audience, Sky customers, but it wasn’t landing.
Instead, they lacked credibility which left Freesat at a crossroads: maximise their appeal with Sky customers or miss out on untapped profit potential.
To change the conversation, we developed the ‘Live Life Free’ brand strategy to empower audiences with the ‘freedom’ to enjoy what they love most − TV entertainment.
This struck a chord with our disenchanted Sky customers as it awakened them to a new reality where they could access amazing content and same box technology – all without a subscription.
To bring the platform to life, we enrolled our cute crustacean duo Ossi and Pod, two crabs taking consumers into a world of free entertainment.
From an initial 30 second TVC, our clawsome double act scuttled into social skits, doordrops, the webstore, happily tackling all the Sky TV customer pain points big claw first.
In just three months, Live Life Free caught loyal Sky customers hook, line and sinker, making them TWICE as likely to choose Freesat.
We had successfully broadened the appeal of the brand and were shaking-off Freesat’s value-based identity to help super-charge sales, one crab pun at a time.
Not bad for Ossi and Pod’s first adventure.

National Grid
Summary
National Grid has faced many challenges related to its reputation and external storytelling. Past communication efforts were delivered piecemeal, focused on bill payments and outages. No one knew what National Grid stood for or why they mattered.
We reestablished and bolstered National Grid’s U.S. reputation through a brand campaign that tells the story about the company.
All energy companies have a responsibility to provide gas and electricity to their customers. But very few take those responsibilities to heart like the people at National Grid. They don’t only show up. They step up. Under the worst conditions. So in our Responsibility Calls campaign, we celebrate them and all they do for us.
Our anthemic campaign branded National Grid as the company that does for the community today and what they will do for future generations. It puts a stake in the ground to define why National Grid shows up every day for its customers – when responsibility calls, National Grid answers.

Heineken
Summary
When Heineken transferred its UEFA Europa League (UEL) sponsorship from Amstel to Heineken 0.0, making it the largest ever single sponsorship deal involving a non-alcoholic beer brand, it needed a campaign to celebrate this and grow awareness of its Heineken 0.0 product.
So in 2021, Heineken gave fans the chance to win amazing prizes whenever the result was 0-0…because whilst 0-0 results are boring, they’re not with Heineken 0.0.
The digital competition, “If Nobody Scores… You Win!”, made it as easy as possible for fans to win prizes thanks to Heineken, even if their team didn’t. From VIP tickets to the UEL Final, to Heineken Blades, to Beerwulf vouchers, the competition garnered 35,000 entries with a total of 21 million impressions across all digital assets, proving that even a 0-0 result could be rewarding with Heineken.

Albertsons
Summary
When Albertsons Companies’ (Cos.) pharmacies were approved to administer COVID-19 vaccines, they needed a nimble digital strategy to drive awareness and make their stores top-of-mind for customers considering vaccinations.
Albertsons partnered with Merkle to quickly build a media plan that raised awareness ahead of the vaccine rollout. As customers became eligible and vaccines became available, Albertsons could easily localize messaging to communicate relevant vaccine offerings. They achieved this through a channel mix including search engine marketing (SEM), programmatic display powered with dynamic creative optimization (DCO) and a virtual chatbot in-ad, and a direct partnership with Nextdoor. Consumers saw media that communicated their local store’s offering, informed them of impending vaccine availability, and led them to make appointments and visit the store for their vaccine. Post-launch, the team used extensive testing to optimize creative, copy, call-to-action, localized messaging, and ad frequency for their audience.
The campaign was very successful. January to April 2021 saw month over month improvements in click-through rate, with April CTR more than three times the DV360 benchmark. Albertsons Cos.’ Q1 2021 store visits from digital campaigns doubled compared to Q4 2020.
The Google Chatbot drove a 123% lift in ad helpfulness for Safeway (one of Albertsons Cos.’ flagship banners) and a 75% lift in ad helpfulness for Albertsons Cos. stores. Separately, the Nextdoor partnership gave thousands of customers the ability to locate a store, determine vaccine availability, and understand their eligibility to ensure that customers had the information they needed at their fingertips and chose Albertsons.

Iceland
Summary
How do you get people excited about cheese? This was the million-dollar question we faced when briefed to make noise around Iceland’s new exclusive range of Cathedral City cheddar and wider Chilled cheese offering. The selection of dairy treats was a tasty proposition, no doubt, but hardly headline-grabbing news even for the most passionate cheese lover. Needless to say, we had a tough challenge on our hands. This tells the story of how we propelled Iceland’s cheeses into the news through the ultimate decadent experience, eating cheese in the bath. Armed with research showing how Brits enjoy cheesy snacks at bath time, we persuaded Iceland to create a one-of-a-kind product for fanatical fans of the fromage: a cheese board bath rack. With help from Love Island star and cheese aficionado Priya Gopaldas, our weird and wonderful bath time accessory captured the imagination of the cheese-eating British public, resulting in extensive print and broadcast press coverage, a top ten Twitter trend, considerable unpaid influencer take up, as well as a total earned media reach of 18.5 million. Perhaps more importantly, we demonstrated that a low-involvement supermarket cheese can not only be newsworthy, but reframed as the ultimate domestic indulgence.

Software AG
Summary
A brand campaign that drives real pipeline opportunities is an unheard-of phenomenon in B2B marketing. But this what Software AG and their agency achieved with their “Seamless is More” campaign in 2021.
All it took was strategy that unearthed a simple truth, creative that captured our audience’s imagination, and a data lead activation and media strategy that brought it all together.
We noticed that Software AG’s various offerings had one thing in common: they all helped companies seamlessly connect—both internally and with their partners and customers. The tagline “Seamless is More” combined with striking imagery of seamless connections brought the campaign to life.
The campaign used an integrated 1:Many Account Based Marketing motion that connected brand through to demand, providing a seamless customer experience designed to give us multiple touch points and engagements across the funnel so we’d have many levers for optimization and reporting.
This campaign focused on the 510 most important accounts to Software AG. These accounts were all large accounts (>$500m), shown to be a good fit based on firmographics, weren’t current customers and were showing high intent for Software AGs products and services. By creating an account list like this, we were able to limit wastage, and messaging and creative could be crafted to ensure a good fit with pain points experienced by these organizations.
This campaign drove awareness, while also achieving 490 actively engaged accounts, $13.9m entering pipeline, 95% account penetration, over 23 million impressions, and over 5,000 leads.

Well, the likes of Mrs Hinch and a merry band of online “clean-fluencers” have changed the way the world views cleaning forever. Whilst this was a great opportunity for Unilever, we had to create stand out for its range of homecare brands in this suddenly super competitive market.
How did we do it? By leveraging the trend for sharing our cleaning habits online but going one better and creating a new online community that goes beyond plugging product.
The Clean Edit is a space for like-minded individuals who care about keeping their home - and the planet - clean. Launched on Instagram, The Clean Edit was underpinned with an influencer network and has amassed over 29,000 followers since its launch in February.
We’ve partnered with over 70 influencers to create engaging content which has delivered over 5,000 swipe ups and 6.5m impressions.
In fact, as a result of our ongoing work on The Clean Edit, consumers were three times more likely (CONFIDENTIAL) to purchase Unilever products.

Riot Games
Summary
Riot Games were launching an animated series Arcane on Netflix, based on popular PC game League of Legends. We were asked to conceive and produce a massive cultural moment through a global experiential campaign that represented a love letter to the fans, driving buzz and viewership.
We went deep to understand the community, developed a narrative that was authentic to the series and created a global movement that the community could engage with.
Kicking off with a takeover of the world’s tallest building (Burj Khalifa, Dubai), we produced a 3-minute film as a campaign teaser. Footage was posted on the League of Legends YouTube channel.
A series of experiences were curated in retail spaces in six cities (Paris, London, Madrid, Istanbul, Singapore and Los Angeles) – ‘Hextech Expo’ stores teased gamers with the prospect of a showcase to demonstrate in-game technology using AR and interactive windows. Prior to opening, stores were ‘destroyed’ and Hex technology stolen by the series’ main protagonist Jinx using destruction methods that aligned with the series story arc and episode drops. Stills and video content was amplified on social channels for fans to find clues to identify the culprit, next attack and episode content.
Toolkits were produced to support local market activations, social, OOH, print and video. Social content achieved 144.3 million fan engagements and Arcane was viewed 34 million times in the first 6 days, reaching No. 1 on the Netflix charts in 52 countries.

Inspiration4
Summary
In November 2020, Shift4, an integrated payments and commerce company, approached our agency with an important mission. Their CEO, Jared Isaacman, had secured four seats on board SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft, which took flight in September 2021. Named Inspiration4, the mission would be the first all-civilian flight into orbit. Parallel to this commercial mission, Inspiration4 partnered with St.Jude Children’s Research Hospital to raise $200MM to help end childhood cancer. By pairing Inspiration4 with St. Jude in an unprecedented fundraising effort, we sent a message that this campaign had a clear purpose: If we can send people into space, we can solve some of earth’s most persistent problems. Using a nontraditional, all-in approach, Inspiration4 successfully brought the possibility of civilian space flight into the public consciousness by marrying storytelling, traditional advertising, and PR with a worthy philanthropic cause. It was a visionary message for all to reimagine what is possible, regardless of their background and because of their stories.

Summary
Set within a landmark transformed, offering eight floors filled with breath-taking bars, event spaces, and views across the capital and castle, Johnnie Walker Princes Street already had the perfect ingredients to stand alone as of Scotland’s finest attractions. But add into the mix a laser focus on creating story-rich, transformative guest experiences, and you have a destination unlike any other in Scotland.
There are experiences that are visual, immersive, and involve storytelling, and there is the rare opportunity to taste whisky directly from the barrels in a live maturation warehouse or examine historical documents from 1820 at the side of the Johnnie Walker archivist. The main experience, the Johnnie Walker Journey of Flavour tour, is brought to life by exceptional guides, using technology and performance arts. What’s more, every guest on that tour is served whisky drinks tailored for their personal tastes, thanks to Diageo’s innovative FlavorPrint™ technology.
The Covid-19 pandemic posed considerable challenges but in the face of them, Johnnie Walker’s Striding Man marched on. After marking 2020 as the brand’s bicentennial, the flagship Johnnie Walker Princes Street welcomed consumers to come walk with it in Summer 2021. It not only stands as one of the best new attractions in a city renowned for its hospitality and visitor experiences, but also sets a new standard in how guests are welcomed and completely immersed in a world of flavour, storytelling, and excitement.

FX
Summary
To market FX originals and generate awareness about FX’s library of content now streaming on Hulu, Creative Riff and FX created the multi-city campaign SOUND FX to bring viewers into FX content and experience it in a way they never had before: through sound.
SOUND FX deconstructed FX content into sound (sound design, soundtracks, foley sound effects), then reconstructed the sounds into bespoke composed soundscapes experienced within immersive and interactive sculptural art. The experience highlighted and celebrated sound – the often overlooked but incredibly impactful sense that drives viewers’ emotions while watching television.
Working with some of the best immersive and interactive artists in the country, SOUND FX brought three genres of FX content to life via three different sound sculptures: "Self Reflections" by SOFTlab representing Drama in Hudson Yards Public Square & Gardens, NYC, the world's first six sided comedy harp "Tempo" by Emilie Baltz representing Comedy in Congress Plaza Garden - South, Chicago, and "To The Flame" by Vita Motus representing Horror in Grand Park, Los Angeles.
Custom engineering created touch and motion responsive interactive sound triggers in Chicago and Los Angeles, and all markets featured composed soundscapes made from FX show soundtracks and the FX sound catalog. SOUND FX also allowed guests to dive deeper into the brand with an FX Identity Quiz on site for attendees to discover what kind of FX viewer they are, complete with personalized FX show recommendations available on Hulu and a curated Spotify playlist.

Q: What do you get if you cross Virgin Media’s brand purpose of ‘facilitating human connections’ with hologram technology and pizza during a pandemic?
A: The Two Hearts Pizzeria of course. A dining experience connecting loved ones who hadn’t seen each other for months, to share a virtual pizza whilst sitting at opposite ends of the country. Delivered through hologram technology and powered by Virgin Media’s superfast broadband.
75 pieces of coverage and 1.2million views of the branded content later - 48% who had seen the campaign content said they’d recommend Virgin Media and 24% of non-customers said they’d switch. That’s a superfast result in our opinion.

UKTV
Summary
Brits enjoy wistfully contemplating the good old days. In fact, more would prefer to travel back in time rather than to the future (55% versus 28%) if given the chance, according to a 2019 YouGov poll. This explains why British TV audiences still take huge delight in vintage comedy programmes, with one golden oldie trumping all others: Only Fools and Horses. For the 40th anniversary of this beloved sitcom - heralded as ‘the greatest British comedy of all time’ - we partnered with comedy channel Gold to transport audiences back to the era of Del Boy and Rodney Trotter by lovingly recreating the show’s iconic fictional pub, the Nags Head. The nostalgic, below-the-line activation would allow fans to step into an exact replica of the historic sitcom set where they could participate in an Only Fools and Horses pub quiz, meet former cast members and enjoy pints at 1980s prices (83p per pint!).
The results were nothing short of historic: securing over 140 media articles, including an incredible 13 nationals. Moreover, the campaign had a tangible impact on the bottom line – in a business where marginal gains are everything, the re-run series on Gold saw a whopping +7% MoM increase in viewership, with the show peaking on 7th September, following the opening of the Nags Head pub.
Our campaign captured the hearts of fans who were able to raise a glass and feel like a part of British cultural history. It was ‘lovely jubbly’, as Del Boy would say!

Summary
Welcome to Upliftford – the town that moved to lift its mood. In a unique experiment, ASICS, proved that movement could lift the mood of an entire town.
And where better than the town shown by research to have the worst mood nationwide
We turned the sleepy town of Retford into ‘Upliftford’, transforming it into a movement-inspiring gym and measuring the impact on residents’ moods. We turned lampposts into goal posts, benches into bench-presses and bus stops into bus steps to inspire the town to move, resulting in a positive lift for the mood of the town and the ASICS brand.

DoorDash
Summary
The initial challenge presented was for MKTG to activate a key element of DoorDash's sponsorship of the National Rugby League's State of Origin (SOO) competition - the delivery of the beloved official game ball - in a show-stopping manner across all three SOO games. But, COVID had other plans and threw everything into disarray. The games were moved to other cities five times. MKTG cleverly suggested that the on-site activations continue, regardless of the challenges and the relocations, but that it be extended far beyond the stadium through an activation-led content series. The content series made DoorDash and the game ball, the hero. The team storyboarded the journey of the ball from stadium-to-stadium leveraging key DoorDash assets to ensure the ball arrived on time and in grand fashion…via land, air, and sea. Despite location changes - biplanes, helicopters, speedboats, marching bands, drum lines, classic cars, street teams, and scooters were engaged, and DoorDash delivered the precious game ball every time, on time.
MKTG was KPI'd against two distinct metrics: new customer growth and week-on-week order volume uplift. With uplift across both measures ranging from 40%-228%, this campaign was a resounding success and eclipsed all forecasted targets. Subsequently, there was a 228% uplift in orders attributed to promotion in the lead-up, game day, and the days following, and between a 42% to 68% increase in new customers with over 450,000 views (their highest ever) on DoorDash owned social channels. The global Chief Marketing Officer called the campaign one of the best.

Heineken
Summary
UEFA EURO 2020 presented Heineken with both an incredible challenge and an amazing opportunity.
Activating across not one but 12 host markets would be logistically and strategically difficult, but the chance to engage with the excitement of those 12 markets and put our brand at the heart of the first major sporting moment post-Covid was something we couldn’t miss.
Our overarching campaign - Enjoy the Rivalry – was activated in 69 markets, our sole and exclusive right to the Heineken Star of the Match Award provided a huge boost in awareness, and we increased perceptions of Heineken as a meaningful brand through our reactive responses to issues of homophobia and racism throughout the tournament.
After the final whistle blew on an outstanding tournament, we raised a glass to surpassing our objectives, becoming the #1 ranked EURO 2020 sponsor for engagements on UEFA’s channels, and the year’s #10 most marketable global brand.

Hyundai USA
Summary
With the launch of the all-new 2022 Tucson, Hyundai recognized that the popular compact SUV would be competing in the most competitive auto
segment against well-known entries from Ford, Toyota, Nissan and Honda. Popular opinion would be to head for familiar terrain and order up a large ad
buy in the 2021 Super Bowl. Hyundai traded the clutter of the Super Bowl, however, in favor of something unprecedented...a cross-division campaign
across The Walt Disney Company.
The mandate was clear: to sell the benefits of the all-new 2022 Tucson against formidable competitors from Nissan and Toyota, we needed to create an
emotional connection with consumers — and :60 seconds in the Super Bowl was not going to suffice. Enter: Hyundai’s “Question Everything” campaign,
which even had our media/planning teams questioning long-standing traditions and beliefs.
In the end, we threw all the “best practices” out the window in order to transform the traditional media partnership. We splashed the all-new 2022 Tucson
across Disney (with a longer campaign window) in the content that consumers love, and did it in a way that was wholly original. The aspiration: entertain
while also informing audiences about every single benefit the Tucson touts.

Philips
Summary
When Philips tasked us with raising awareness and driving sales of the Philips Air purification product line, we uncovered a powerful brand story that embodied the brand proposition of improving lives through meaningful innovation. The work Philips have done in setting up the Clean Air for Schools programme is testament to that people-first strategy and, in particular, their involvement with Russell Scott Primary School who have seen tangible results from getting behind the programme and having air purifiers in the classroom. Not only has air pollution been reduced inside the classroom, but the pupils are now so invested in tackling the problem that it gives hope for the future.
To share this compelling story, we created a video-led sponsorhip campaign and partnered with Sky Media to sponsor the brand-new Air Quality Report on Sky News, creating idents and editorial content all delivered by the pupils and teachers of Russell Scott Primary School. We utilised a range of digital amplification platforms and products within Sky Media’s data targeting capabilities and combined with native programmatic advertising to tactically deliver our videos.
Rather than deliver these hard-hitting facts from the brand or an academic, we took the initiative to create content featuring the children themselves, giving them a platform to discuss their fears around air pollution and the impact that it’s having on their health. This captured our audience’s attention in droves. Philips saw a huge over delivery in engagement metrics, a significant uplift in sales and positive growth of their market share.

Starling Bank
Summary
Starling Bank is on a mission to change banking for good. We partner with people & businesses that share our values & believe in doing the right thing; one such person is environmentalist & YouTube creator Jack Harries. Together, we collaborated on a content series to elevate the voices of underrepresented young people at COP26. For the documentary series, Jack made a carbon neutral journey across the UK. Travelling from the Isles of Scilly to COP26 in Glasgow, he collected stories on how the climate crisis is affecting lives. We aired the stories, including interviews with Barack Obama, Jane Goodall & Starling CEO & Founder Anne Boden at COP26 & projected the heroes behind them onto the Glasgow Armadillo. Sir David Attenborough even presented this content to the delegates at the summit itself, giving the overlooked victims of climate change a seat at the biggest table of all. As part of our wider brand awareness campaign, we wanted to challenge & disrupt the media landscape, act with purpose & offer something genuinely different - ‘Seat at the Table’, the name of the series, was our way to do this. Many consumers expect brands to help them make ethical choices, another reason that ‘Seat At The Table’ was something Starling was proud to support. The campaign delivered 50m impressions & reached 12m unique users in the UK & at the same time Starling saw the highest number of personal current account applications in the month the series launched.

The Allianz Group
Summary
The Allianz Group is one of the world's leading insurers and asset managers with more than 100 million private and corporate customers in more than 70 countries.
Whilst Allianz depends heavily on the intermediary market, it doesn’t directly operate in B2C.
This means brand awareness for Allianz can be much lower at a consumer level.
Working with CHS, Allianz launched ‘Women in Sport’. A paid social campaign that leverages the brand’s strategic partnerships with the Rugby Football Union (RFU), Team GB and the British Paralympic Association (BPA).
Launched in the run up to the Olympics, the campaign aimed to celebrate the country’s most iconic women in professional sports through a selection of powerful emotive videos.
Each star was asked to reflect on their most incredible sporting achievements whilst sharing inspirational advice which was all brought together under the creative wrapper - ‘What would you tell your 8-year-old self’.
As a result of the campaign Allianz successfully raised their brand awareness amongst a consumer audience. Backed by a reach of 3.2 million people - 45% above projected targets.

Finastra
Summary
The accelerated use of AI in financial services has led to algorithmic bias in the sector and discrimination against certain demographics when applying for finance. A big issue, that for the good of humanity, needed to be addressed.
To lead industry-wide change, global fintech solutions company Finastra worked with Silver to develop an impactful multi-channel campaign to start righting this wrong.
The objective was to engage people across financial services globally to first acknowledge a problem exists, and then work together to find a solution.
We needed to inspire multiple audiences to act, so we needed a broad (but purposeful) channel and content strategy.
Taking forward Finastra’s belief of the future of finance being OPEN, we created a movement entitled ‘OPEN by {Default}’.
Following conceptual creative development, a multi-channel strategy across owned, earned, and paid media was executed. This included PR, partner marketing, direct marketing, virtual hackathons, and social media.
The movement began.
The campaign was a global success, attracting over 600 registrations for the hackathons across 50+ countries, including Antarctica, with nearly 80% of the projects led by women.
The campaign picked up four Tier 1 press interviews featuring Finastra Execs, as well as 31 pieces of international coverage.

Acora
Summary
Acora, an unknown IT services provider, embarked on a mission to reimagine their category and create a new normal for their industry.
For too long, IT services have been governed by Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that simply define which services the provider will deliver and to what level. But when an SLA is in place, there’s no requirement for the service provider to innovate for their customer.
For Acora to win market share in a crowded market, the traditional way of doing things wouldn’t suffice, so we changed the rules in our favour. We challenged the status quo and put their name on the map, creating an industry first, category defining service that changed business culture and moved with the times.
We launched Acora’s Experience Level Agreement (XLA), unlocking the true power of IT services by focusing on what matters most – the end user experience. Long Live the XLA became a call-to-arms for professionals to stand up against sub-par SLAs and demand more from their IT service providers – a movement highlighting the inadequacies of the industry standards and firmly positioning Acora as the new challenger leading much needed change in IT services.
The campaign achieved widespread coverage from industry analysts such as Gartner and Forrester. Their share of category searches more than doubled (an increase of 2.18%). And with share of search proven to be an accurate proxy for market share in IT services, this increase equates to a £4.7m uplift in sales revenue in just 4 months.

Wavin
Summary
Since 2018, Tangerine has worked with leading plumbing brand, Wavin Hep2O, creating inspiring campaigns that help make plumbers’ lives better.
Following the disruption and challenges posed by COVID-19, Wavin Hep2O wanted to do something that reflected on and celebrated what makes the plumbing industry great. The answer was Pride of Plumbing – a spotlight on the amazing stories of the amazing people that make up the industry and a celebration of all the things that make the plumbing community great.
Following a nationwide hunt for the most inspiring people in the sector and 120 submissions, Tangerine told a series of four stories that brought the commitment, compassion and resilience of these professionals to life for the whole industry to celebrate.
The campaign made use of a cross-channel distribution campaign that generated powerful results for Wavin Hep2O while bringing the plumbing community closer together.

Sage
Summary
Sage Intacct is a leading force in the US when it comes to cloud-based financial management. It was a different scenario in the UK however, where Sage Intacct launched in 2019. Although the Sage brand was well recognised, finance executives simply hadn’t heard of Sage Intacct, and so it wasn’t featuring in their consideration set.
15 months later, faced with ambitious commercial targets, the Sage UK marketing team realised a brand campaign was required to create the awareness and trust needed, and so accelerate the success of its demand generation activities.
Based on research and customer insight, it became clear that the target financial executive audiences were seeking to transform their role within their businesses. To move from being seen as ‘bean counters’ to becoming ‘value creators’.
This audience need led to a creative platform entitled “Raise your game”.
Designed to instil confidence in the audience and reflect their attitudes as they transform their roles, the campaign positioned Sage Intacct as the first choice against its competitors. It did so through the use of powerful graphical, imagery, and copy devices, which also helped the creative stand out from the ‘wallpaper’ of professional stock imagery.
“Raise your game” was launched through multi-touch media activity that utilised paid media, thru-channel partner marketing, and nurture activities to accelerate performance. Surpassing expectations almost from the day of launch, the campaign added 30% uplift across the entire funnel through its first wave and increased output by almost 50% in its second.

Maersk
Summary
Maersk has been on a transformational journey since 2017, repositioning from cargo shipping line to end-to-end logistics integrator. In the last three years, a series of unconventional brand campaigns has helped build momentum assisting the growth of Logistics & Services proposition. Featuring bold creative and imaginative media placements, our campaigns have won multiple accolades and awarded “icon” status in the WARC effectiveness ladder for B2B.
We entered 2021 with favorable market conditions, facing strong demand for ocean shipping which drove rates to a record high. However, the mood in the marketplace was quite different. Extreme pressure on supply chains, soaring costs and covid-19 uncertainty contributed to increasing negativity in the category.
Maersk, wanted to turn the world of logistics upside down, not to be perceived as the department of unforeseen problems but that of opportunities. Our Upside brand campaign deployed emotional storytelling taking audiences on a journey. A modern fairytale told the story of a woman trapped in the everyday horrors of logistics until she gets “turned around” and discovers a new approach to it. The campaign orchestrated paid channels alongside owned and earned amplifying the reach and engagement.
The “Upside” brand campaign created unique moments in media and shifted the conversation from risk to opportunity helping to produce extraordinary results for the company. Perception shift increased by +2%. Thought leadership drove an increase from 6% to 29% category organic SOV whilst helping deliver an incremental $1bn in sales.

Twitter
Summary
Twitter is a platform for everyone, and believes all voices should have the opportunity to be heard, engage in discourse and be respected. However, the reality is that across cultures not all voices are equal.
We found that still today, Arabic speaking women were addressed with the wrong pronoun every 17 seconds. And whilst Arabic differentiates how women and men are referred through its grammar, culture has shaped the language to take the masculine form as the default gender.
Twitter as a key communications tool for people, brands and governments, believed it was in a unique position to kickstart a move towards better gender representation in daily conversations. So, it launched the #FeminineArabic movement by introducing a first of its kind language feature allowing women Arabic speakers on Twitter to be addressed as they should be, in the Feminine form. We engaged with brands to help driving societal change more effectively and amplify the movement towards Arabic female equality. And, by consequence, bring brands and Arabic women speakers closer together. Hundreds of brands, from Samsung, to MasterCard and adidas joined the conversation, helping to amplify the movement, increasing the cause’s visibility and relevance. The hashtag and campaign emoji were trending on the platform in countries such as KSA, Egypt and UAE.

Autodesk
Summary
Data cubes’ form the building blocks of the new product brand identity and launch campaign created by Torpedo for Tandem, the digital twin cloud-based platform from Autodesk.
A digital twin is a dynamic, up-to-date digital replica of a physical asset that brings together design, construction and operational data to simulate, predict and inform decisions. Aimed at Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) firms and building owners / operators, Tandem helps to make the building handover process completely seamless and enables proactive and predictive maintenance, providing insight into operation, performance and efficiency, but also help plan future projects and improve design decisions for better ROI.
The objectives were threefold. Firstly, create a distinctive positioning and identity that would set Tandem apart from other digital twin software. Secondly, to build awareness and drive traffic to the campaign website. Thirdly to create an engaging user experience on the website that would generate leads via free account sign-ups.
Inspired by how Tandem enables building owners and operators to digitally interact with design and construction data, Torpedo created a unique identity, supporting content and a website built around the concept of representing digital twins as replicas of buildings made up of interactive cubic pixels or ‘data cubes’.

Milwaukee Bucks
Summary
When Harley-Davidson informed the NBA team, Milwaukee Bucks, it would not be renewing its jersey patch sponsorship, the team had to scramble to find another big brand willing to make this multiyear, multimillion-dollar investment. Instead of looking for another large local brand, the Bucks decided to leverage the global appeal of the NBA and their own star forward, Giannis Antetokounmpo. They created a list of two dozen global brand CMOs and then asked us to create a compelling way to grab their attention and persuade them to become the Buck’s sponsor.
The project faced significant challenges. CMOs of global brands are incredibly busy; they get inundated daily with multiple sponsorship opportunities. Worse, strategic brand investments like this are generally budgeted for in multiyear terms. We needed to stand out among the clutter, grab their attention, and quickly explain why our small market team from a tier 3 city deserved their multi-million dollar investment.

Mother Clucker
Summary
Mother Clucker started serving fried chicken in 2013 from a converted US Army Ambulance in East London, and quickly gained a loyal following. In 2021, the brand looked to launch across the UK, however the current visual identity wasn’t strong enough to stand out in a crowded, competitive national food scene. Mother Clucker needed a fresh new approach, whilst staying true to its London street food heritage.
For the national launch, 1HQ re-established Mother Clucker’s Brand purpose, target consumer, benefits, personality and principles. We conducted a semiotic analysis of the chicken and adjacent category fast food providers, and identified an emergent space for Mother Clucker to own. From this, we crafted a new brand positioning and wrote a manifesto for how we look, feel, think and act as Mother Clucker.
The new visual style and brandmark embodies the brand’s daring, bold, obsessive personality and outspoken attitude. The identity communicates a brand that is proud to shout from the rooftops, demonstrated through the megaphone inspired block and typography. The asterisk not only represents the eye of the chicken, but is also a clever nod to the brand name’s play on words. Mother Clucker has transformed from a generic street food vendor into a loud and proud, accessible brand for all. The visual identity represents a brand that feels and acts differently, and delivers to consumer’s desire for a down to earth, fun and playful brand experience.

EA Sports
Summary
During the cluttered holiday period, EA Sports wanted to drive awareness of their FIFA 22 promotional holiday offer. To cut through the noise, we needed to stand out.
We created a physical activation to bring the digital world to life, giving us a new way to engage with FIFA fans past and present. Our bespoke Next Generation Newspaper told stories of 6 Next Generation athletes, which we identified to engage with audiences in key markets. In the 32-page newspaper, featuring a 4-page spread for each athlete, there were in-depth articles, quiz questions, beautiful editorial imagery as well as QR activated advertisements for the offer. With six limited edition covers, newspapers were translated into English, French, Spanish and Italian and distributed on bespoke FIFA branded newsstands in high-traffic areas in London, Paris and NYC, as well as to influencers, club teams and players. To amplify and extend further, we promoted on social media.
The campaign saw 14,000+ papers distributed. Media investment drove significant overdelivery in key metrics, including 25m+ impressions across social. More importantly, FIFA 22 daily users were up 10% YoY during the campaign, with a 10% increase in new players, resulting in EA Sports FIFA’s most successful holiday campaign ever.
