Dreaming of salon-worthy blowouts but short on time? BaByliss Airwand makes that dream a reality. This innovative styler dries, straightens and volumizes in one go, leaving you with effortlessly styled, healthy hair, in a fraction of the time.
Armed with a whole bunch of Airwands and their many attachments, we took eight incredible models to a lush London location for three days, determined to showcase the full potential of this singular styling solution on a diverse range of hair types. And we weren’t just shooting for one 20 second spot for the UK, the footage needed broad audience appeal as it would feature in 70 edits across 13 different markets globally.
The Airwand’s success speaks volumes (literally!). Reaching over 450 million people and with 20,000 units sold in EMEA alone, it's clearly convincing audiences to trade their old, time-consuming routines for the Airwand’s one-stop shop.

‘Together for Childhood’ is a groundbreaking NSPCC initiative that exemplifies the adage: “It takes a village to raise a child” - bringing together families, community services and NSPCC partners, to prevent abuse and tackle the problems that cause it, head on.
With the emphasis on a local rather than national collaboration, we developed creatives inspired by the towns and cities where Together for Childhood has already been rolled out. Alongside animation director Claire Pinegar, we designed four unique town “maps”, featuring recognisable local landmarks, bespoke soundscapes, and representing the different shape of community participation.
The suite of animations live on the NSPCC’s learning platform as a resource and training tool for current and future Together for Childhood staff and key stakeholders, helping to garner understanding of the current scheme, and support for its wider implementation.

Glamorous, natural, effortless - whatever the look, we've got it covered in our glossy commercial for BaByliss Secret Wave Air.
As part of the campaign, we worked with fashion & lifestyle influencers to demonstrate the product, seeing up close how BaByliss works with multiple hair types. Keeping it relevant to their social media roots, we used observational and handheld cinematography, bridging the worlds of online and traditional commercials together for one fun, light and energetic 20s advert.
This commercial launched Wave Secret Air to the public, being shared globally across both social media channels and prime time TV spots, driving sales on the latest piece of BaByliss technology.

Travel down quiet country lanes and across golden corn fields to discover a man with an obsession as mysterious as the patterns that inspire it. A Nowadays passion-project, Chasing Circles is a film about belief and the strange places where we find meaning.
Shot over a single sweltering summer in the English countryside, this short documentary follows Paul, a crop circle researcher dedicated to the study and promotion of crop circle phenomena, as he faces derision and ridicule from some, but warmth and community from others.
Chasing Circles was first screened at our 15th Anniversary / rebranding event. It is currently under consideration for entry into several documentary film festivals.

You know what they say about too many chefs in the kitchen? Well the same does not apply to appliances - it turns out the more the merrier when it comes to culinary contraptions designed for grilling, whizzing, shaking and stirring.
This set of campaign films for Cuisinart features several devices, each of which needed specially designed productions - from extra-flexible kitchen locations and brilliant food stylists, to specialist camera kit that let us shoot from inside the machines themselves.
Produced and released as separate broadcast TVCs over the period of a year across markets in the UK and Europe, each reaching hundreds of thousands of users.

The modern kitchen should be built for the modern life. All diets, cooking styles and time schedules welcome! Easy to use and tremendously versatile, watch how the Cuisinart 'Cook In' has just changed the kitchen as we know it.
Equal parts gorgeous food and gorgeous influencers - our job was to take all of these ingredients and combine them with super-dynamic camera work to create a spot that sizzled just as much as the food did.
Released as part of Cuisinart's Christmas marketing campaign, which would contribute to the 'Cook In' product selling out throughout the UK. The campaign has subsequently been extended, taking advantage of the traction created through influencer recommendations.

A fresh take on the all-important topic of diversity and inclusion at work, this film explores different perspectives and experiences of a wide range of real Schroders employees through the use of UGC and animation.
Schroders asked us to make a new film that would spearhead their 2020 diversity campaign, trusting us to find a creative solution that would feature personal stories of feeling excluded and allowing for a sense of anonymity.
Released in the middle of lockdown, the film was a hit amongst employees and wider audiences, receiving praise for it's warmth and heartfelt approach.

One human death every three seconds will be caused by antimicrobial superbugs by 2050. Why? Because of the overuse of antibiotics across multiple industries, including livestock farming. 'AMR is Now' presents the potentially devastating reality facing us and the food we eat.
FAIRR asked us to make a film for World Antimicrobial Awareness Week that stood out from the average video content created by the finance industry, which could alarm and inform their audience in equal measure.
The film had significant impact on social media, gaining 65,000+ views and 200,000+ impressions on Twitter alone, outstripping FAIRR's expectations and capturing the attention of major financial organisations.

An emotionally delicate animation about self-harm, how it can affect young people and the remedial power of talking about trauma.
The NSPCC challenged us to find a new way to portray self-harm, to create a film that could provide gentle reassurance and guidance to an extremely sensitive target audience, without using potentially triggering imagery.
The film was used as a resource on the new Childline website. Yuka Takeda’s combination of hand-drawn illustration and stop-motion papercraft technique was awarded a Lovie for Best Animation.
