TOM & ROBIN

Our last job as we were leaving 4 Creative was to launch season 2 of Derry Girls. The only fitting thing to do for a series with such a massive cultural story was to give the Derry Girls their own mural in Derry to celebrate them and all the whole community. It is now a tourist attraction. You can read more about it here, here and here. The work was created by UV Arts and all the lovely people at 4 Creative after we left, Alice, Eoin, James, Caio and Raminder and the amazing Fiona.

UV Arts who created the mural have now digitally updated it in a show of gratitude to the NHS. We had nothing to do with the update, but we think it’s great.

We collaborated with People Just Do Nothing crew and Max Weiland to make this campaign, officially moving BBC Three online.

To launch the new series of The Handmaid’s Tale, we brought the show to life by imposing Gilead’s laws across the UK - banning women from reading the Metro, entering the city, going to the cinema and even locking them out of their Kindles. These messages were juxtaposed with the Handmaid’s rebellious cry, ‘don’t let the bastards grind you down.’ We creative directed the campaign and the work was the brain child of Anne and Fran and Caio and Raminder at 4Creative.

Here’s what It’s Nice That had to say about it.

We were asked to launch The Circle, a new reality show that was kind of like Big Brother except people could only meet through social media. It sounds a bit boring doesn’t it? We thought so too until we realised it would descend into total catfish chaos and be completely mental. So we decided to base campaign around that. The show was a big enough success that it was sold to Netflix to remake around the world. 

The stills were shot by Marco Grizelj and the trailer by Ninian Doff.

This was fun. We filmed about 30 kids going mental with Early Learning Centre toys. Then we cut the spots to make loose narratives for Dana Carvey and Matt Lucas to voice. The spots were shot by Hank Perlman.

Having created the branding and identity for this pan-BBC centenary, we then worked with Steve Reeves, the BBC concert orchestra and the London Welsh male voice choir to create this spot.

Age UK asked us to create a campaign to raise awareness of the millions of old people who have to face life alone. So we came up with #NotByMyselfie; a social campaign that encourages people to share selfies of themselves with their elderly friends and relatives. Right now it's The Guardian's charity campaign of the month, and we hope it will do a lot of good.

First we were tasked to come up with a whole new identity for Radio 4. Then we were able to put it into practice with these spots. Taking pre-recorded interviews, we worked with Marc Craste at Studio AKA to bring them to life.

When you can't afford to wobble jellies to cut a music video for Destiny's Child 'Bootilicious', you do this. Shot by Chris Cairns and arduously animated by a crack team of jelly handlers. Here's our Hartley's campaign with a whopper of a pun on the end.

Staples were sponsoring Channel 4's business programming, so we decided to ask unsuspecting interviewees to respond to the question, 'if you were a piece of office equipment, what would you be and why.' Here are their genuine responses captured by Peter Cataneo.
