BUG 58
Bug is back, showcasing music videos on the big screen, hosted by Adam Buxton.
Each event has its own model bug crafted from pieces of dismantled film and music equipment. Each bug is photographed from overhead, mimicking old taxidermy, and is coupled with big bold typography and a paired back colour palette.
BUG’s objective is to give big-screen exposure to the most awe-inspiring new work in music videos. That means everything from work by well-known masters of the medium to young newcomers working on zero budgets. The sub-heading of BUG – The Evolution of Music Video – refers to the new democracy in videomaking created by the digital revolution – both in creating and distributing work. BUG is all about brilliant visual ideas, and as such BUG consistently unearths amazing new filmmaking talent. See more here.
Stryyk. Zero-proof spirits.
We’ve spent the last six months working closely with the Stryyk team to realise the initial concept and bring the first two products to market. Our strategy and positioning is inspired by the idea of enjoying a night out without compromise. A love of going out, being part of the story and not missing out. An innovative approach, for an innovative product, removing the stigma of ‘not’ drinking, by delivering a product with the taste and complexity to build a proper cocktail with zero-proof.
A bold approach that needed a bold brand, unapologetic and full of energy. We’re not about kooky craft, forced aspiration or self-importance. Uniquely summed up as; All the spirit. None of the alcohol.
Stryyk emulates the flavours of gin and rum. Stryyk Not Gin is a blend of juniper, rosemary and basil, while Stryyk Not Rum combines clove, oakwood and grapefruit. Stryyk is 100% natural with no sugar, no fat, no carbs and no artificial flavours.
Step Into KOOVS.com campaign
Creative Direction for the 2016/17 campaign for India’s leading online fashion store, KOOVS.com. The video concept combines a progressive dance narrative with in-camera transitions, allowing for multiple outfit changes, fitting seamlessly into the action. The video is coupled with a bold music track composed specifically for the campaign. Our male and female lead embody the cultural shift of India’s youth, empowered and driven by a more western influence to fashion. Colour is bought to the fore using a paired back location with coloured smoke grenades further emphasising the outfit shades. A celebration of colour, and the confidence you get from looking great.
The new KOOVS.com campaign is now live and consists of a TV commercial, print and digital advertising, shot and filmed in the Truman Brewery, London. The TVC began airing last week, with the video surpassing 1.5 million views on YouTube in the first few days.
