The endline is: “Slavery is closer than you think” and the advert invites viewers to call the helpline and visit the dedicated website modernslavery.co.uk to find out more about how to spot signs of modern slavery or to report it.

Reinforcing the TV campaign, is a specially commissioned print execution from cult artist, James Murray, AKA ‘Jim’ll paint it’, who used Microsoft Paint to depict a ‘90s rave featuring all of the decade’s protagonists from President Clinton and Nelson Mandela to Vanilla Ice and the Spice Girls.

Published: 2014

Short rationale (optional): We were approached by Durham Distillery to help them develop their brand and give them a distinct position in the crowded spirits market.

We started by developing a clear brand message for them — 'Spirits with Character' — that encapsulated all they wanted to say. From there we began on the identity for the distillery, taking our inspiration from Durham Cathedral's rose window and the dynamic flavours of their products.

Once this was agreed we began rolling out the identity and message across print, online and packaging. Durham Distillery and its flagship product, Durham Gin (which we were involved in the development of), has been a huge success since its launch and we continue to work with the brand as it is moving forward.

When the match is on, we’re strapped into an intense emotional roller coaster that takes us from the top of the world to the pits of despair and back again. Sometimes within the span of a minute.

This simple truth led to a new, fan-focused campaign that turns the act of watching live football into the grand drama that it truly is.

Leo Burnett: McDonald’s 'Here’s to What Matters'

Title(s): Here’s to What Matters

Creative Director: Richard Robinson, Graham Lakeland

Art Director: Rik Brown

Copywriter: Jon Fox

Additional Credits: Planner (creative agency) Josh Bullmore

Media agency: OMD

Planner (media agency): Kathryn Armstrong

Production Company: Smuggler

Director: Joshua Neale

Editor: Tim Hardy at Stitch

Production company producer: Ben Roberts

DOP: Steve Annis

Post-production MPC

Audio post-production 750 MPH

Music: MPM London

Published: July 2014

Short Rationale (optional): Focusing on the reassuring, sometimes surprising, stories about the positive impact the brand has, the campaign demonstrates that McDonald's is driven by what really matters to people - be they customers, employees or the communities the restaurants serve.

Developed by Leo Burnett London, the ad highlights how it is often the little things that really matter, like a sick child being able to hear the reassuring sound of Dad's voice when in hospital.

The campaign also comprises of print, digital, PR and social media which will deliver a variety of messages across coming weeks, bringing to life McDonald’s understanding of ‘what matters to people’, from supporting community football initiatives to ensuring responsible food sourcing.

This broad variety of trust driving messaging sit together under the new brand endline: "Here's to what matters".

Designers Anonymous: The Tomato Stall 'Rebrand'

Brand: The Tomato Still

Title(s): Rebrand

Agency: Designers Anonymous

Agency Website: http://www.designers-anonymous.com/~

Published: July 2014

Short Rationale (optional): The Tomato Stall lacked an identity that conveyed the quality of its product and ability as an established grower and producer, capable of supplying the needs of a big supermarket. It needed to reposition itself in order to appeal to sophisticated 'foodies', subsequently, it needed a complete re-brand. We dug deep: reaching its roots helped us tell the story and increase understanding, to clarify the brand and its provenance.

We gave the brand more confidence and presence on shelves by featuring the brand name more predominately on packs. Its 'Isle of Wight' descriptor was cleverly integrated with vine inspired typography.

The rays of sunshine cast a shadow over the brimming crate, a nod to its heritage, add to the illustration of sun-soaked tomatoes. The strap-line, 'more sunshine, more taste', rested in the shadow (which references the shape of a market awning) helps complete the story.

To highlight the Isle of Wight messaging, and to give the off-the-shelf bottles and jars a more premium look and feel, we die cut the label. The neon colours of the previous designs were replaced with a more appropriate, rich, earthy colour palate that adds taste appeal, and helps consumers’ better shop the range.
