In partnership with Golin London, our work aimed to tackle the stigma surrounding hearing aids, shifting the narrative from medical loss to romantic connection.

See what Contagious has to say in their article.

This week, our Executive Creative Director Clayton Welham joined If You Could Jobs to share his thoughts on building a great team, maintaining originality, and offering advice for new leaders. He shared nuggets like this, on building great teams:

“Trust, no matter the scale of a studio or agency, is vital to not only the success of projects but to the development of individuals and the involvement they feel across all we do.”

In partnership with Interbrand, Brand New gave us an outstanding review of our recent rebranding work for Ford Racing, including this lovely quote:

“The Racing Landscapes for me, are the standout move in the entire system, they take what could’ve been a throwaway motif and turn it into something with real presence. I love how efficiently they do their job: they bend, wrap, and stretch across surfaces, and with only a few lines and a couple curves, you’re suddenly looking at a circuit, or a canyon, or something tearing across bumpy open terrain at full throttle. They bring motion into otherwise static applications and give the system a sense of depth that feels meaningful and earned.”

Discover how we captured the grit, energy, and iconic spirit of ‘America’s Race Team’ in our Case Study.

Our Valentine’s Day film for Specsavers is continuing to make waves, this time earning recognition from The Drum as one of the ‘Valentine’s Day campaigns we’re loving’.

‘This year, Specsavers leads with a typically cheeky take on relationship dynamics, reframing hearing aids as the ultimate ‘Relationship Aid.’ By borrowing the tone of adult retail advertising to spotlight a practical product truth, the campaign lands both laughs and a meaningful message about communication in long-term relationships.’

The wider feature highlights how brands are evolving beyond traditional portrayals of romance to celebrate connection in all its forms.

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, we’re proud to unveil our latest film for Specsavers with Golin London, introducing the ultimate ‘Relationship Aid’.

The work has been featured in Little Black Book and recognised for its bold approach and willingness to push beyond category conventions. Read what they had to say:

“The subversive campaign by Golin London for Specsavers, reimagines hearing aids as the nation’s must‑have ‘couples’ device’, borrowing the knowingly suggestive tone usually reserved for adult retailers to launch a bold stunt that reveals a simple truth: good hearing (achieved through state-of-the-art hearing aids) can help couples reignite their spark.”

Clayton Welham and Kieran Gee-Finch sat down with SideFX for Houdini Connect, to discuss how we integrate Houdini and AI into our design workflow.

For London Craft Week’s 10th anniversary campaign we used Houdini’s wedging process to generate 1,000 unique forms, each distinct yet shaped by a single system.

We recently explored how Houdini’s TOPs feature has helped us amplify our design workflow, but where does AI fit into this?
