Nude your Food
Nude Foods, a small, plastic-free grocery store, wanted to spread their zero-waste message. So, to highlight the absurdity of single-use plastic packaging, we did something even more pointless: dressed fruit & veg in single-use plastic couture, a tactic that bolstered reach and sales on a tiny budget.
Finding the lighter side of lockdown
All Burger King stores were closed during national lockdown. So instead of triggering cravings when Burger King couldn’t trade, we launched a one-of-a-kind campaign designed to reduce cravings. By censoring food porn, the Lockdown Whopper campaign hit the spot during lockdown.
Design that teaches sign

SA Whisky breaks all the rules
Whisky is generally made in the Northern Hemisphere, a world of babbling brooks, creaky distilleries and cold weather. Three Ships Whisky is an award-winning South African Whisky that has always done things differently – harnessing the warmth of the sun to accelerate maturation and deliver an exceptionally smooth finish. This campaign explored the magnetic power […]
Same name. Different people.
No two people are the same. So why should their personal cover be? To launch Old Mutual’s new customisable insurance offering, we met a whole bunch of people who shared a name – but not much else. 3 764 Sams and one rather inconvenient global pandemic later, we launched with a multi-coloured, toe-tapping bang. Not […]
Who’s who in your squad
In the ‘Glow Up On Your Way Up’ TV commercial, Bernini introduces us to a fabulous squad – and shows how each member has played a special role in the lead character’s path to success. In this ode to the squad, we thank the women who always stand by us, and raise a glass of […]
