Responsible Tomorrow for London’s Square Mile: Creating a Better Future for the City and Its Communities.

Harnessing our expertise in crafting impactful solutions, we transformed the City of London Corporation’s Responsible Procurement vision into reality. By understanding the diverse needs of stakeholders, we engineered a comprehensive blueprint for a user-friendly, interactive tool that redefines multi-stakeholder engagement. We created a unique visual identity, celebrating the Corporation’s iconicity, fostering recognition, and aligning with its mission. The city’s inaugural interactive guideline, ‘Low Carbon Procurement,’ is a testament to our innovation. Coupled with an engaging explainer video, it now takes centre stage at public events and on the Corporation’s website, catalysing unprecedented outreach and impact.

Serving the World Better Meat: A Whole Different Animal, Turning the Industry Upside Down.

The challenge? Introduce 3D-printed plant meat innovation worldwide. Our distinctive strategy broke from traditional plant-based branding, tapping into the sensory allure of meat. ‘NEW MEAT,’ though ‘precisely the same, yet entirely different,’ became the core message. Visual and verbal meat codes brought meat to the brand’s forefront. We’ve shaped the world’s largest meat company, creating a portfolio for conscious at-home and out-of-home consumption. Our approach broadened global reach, revolutionising how the world perceives and enjoys meat.
