How do girls STILL see blood in their pants and think they're dying? Nobody prepares us for a life inside our bodies. So we spend lifetimes asking questions. How come my discharge smells like wet dog? Why did no one tell me getting the coil would hurt so much? Oh, so you can get your period whilst breastfeeding?? Endometri-WHAT? We get told “it’s just a period.” But it’s never just a period. It's so much more.

In 2024 Lewis Hamilton shocked the world and announced his departure from Mercedes. He had driven the team’s fan base to its highest point in history and they stood to lose their greatest draw. Every Dream Needs a Team, shifted the narrative and transformed Hamilton’s departure into a win instead of a loss. In a sport known for speed and statistics, we told an emotional story about a team where dreams come true and made the greatest driver of all time feel so loved, he shed tears.

To launch Sheba’s Gravy Indulgence Entrées (with 70% gravy), we turned a product demo into a social-first spectacle: the Gravy Race. Starring influencer cats like Little Puff (32.7M TikTok fans) and narrated by sports legend Ian Eagle, it brought real-time brackets, dramatic matchups, and highlight-worthy content to feeds everywhere. Blending pet culture with sports entertainment, we created a cultural moment that proved gravy is what cats, and the internet, really want.

We decided to go boldly where no brand has been before – inside the womb. With #wombstories, we introduced our womb dwellers, the anthropomorphic inhabitants of our uteruses who sometimes work with us and sometimes against us. Instead of replicating the same templated perspective that has graced the pages of medical textbooks for decades, we reimagined the womb as a place full of emotion.
We then used this metaphorical visual language to create #Painstories a pain dictionary and tool to help those suffering from endometriosis recognise their pain and seek help quicker.Painstories creatives: Lauren Peters and Augustine Cerf.
Bloodnormal
From showing period blood for the first time to selling beautiful period underwear; from showing pain to acknowledging period sex; from getting a twelve-year-old comic writing positive period jokes to manufacturing pop-culture sized pad shaped lilos, Bloodnormal is a global campaign that has changed a category, changed a company and overturned media bans in several countries.

The Sapeurs are the "Society of Elegant Persons of the Congo", a group of extraordinary gentlemen who, with their dapper clothes and joi de vivre, bring hope and inspiration to their war-torn city of Brazzaville.
The Trillion Dollar campaign is the story of how a brutally oppressed newspaper bought its survival with the worthless, hyper-inflated Zimbabwean money that had begun to run into the trillions.

Nobody wants to order water in a pub.
People know it’s good for them, but they think it’s deeply uncool.
They’d much rather drink beer.
So, to encourage behaviour change and responsible drinking, we rebranded boring old tap water - as something people would actually want to order.
A brand new kind of Guinness.
Guinness Clear. Made from 100% H20.
We promoted it just like a genuine Guinness product.
With everything you’d expect from a Guinness launch.
All the reverence, all the beery clichés, all the high production values, all the familiar Guinness tropes.

The Purse
The launch film for Guinness’ sponsorship of the Six Nations Rugby Tournament, “The Purse” tells the true story of David and Gareth Rees and their unusual inheritance. As they travel from game to game watching rugby and drinking Guinness we understand what makes the Six Nations so special – it is unrivalled in sport for its combination of intense rivalries and fierce friendship.

This started life as a standard pack shot brief, ubiquitous to the beer market: show the liquid perfection of a pint.
We decided not to use an expert pack shot photographer, and we decided not to shoot the pint. Instead we went to one of the world’s most dangerous waves – Teahupoo, in Tahiti. Here we recreated the iconic black and white Guinness ‘surge’ on an epic scale by going beneath Tahiti’s giant waves and capturing the moment the wave hits the reef, mimicking the raw power and beauty of a surging pint.
To do it, legendary surf photographer Brian Bielmann wedged himself between tons of pounding water and dark razor sharp reef and then – where few would be able to - held his nerve to compose shots that echo the black and white portrait of a pint of Guinness.
The photographs were for large format outdoor sites and were intended to capture every last epic detail of the liquid perfection of a surge and remind everyone about a unique beer that is truly “Made of More”.
Rugby has long been portrayed as a sport whose only attribute is dumb power. We've always thought this was unfair. With these four stories we hoped to show the inner qualities that are also needed to succeed in the game.
Let’s face it. Cats have the upper paw. Sure we can pretend we’re in control, but everyone knows the real bosses walk on four legs not two. One flick of the charm switch and we’re putty in their paws. And when cats want Sheba, resistance is futile.
