Following the success of Hellmann’s BBQ in 2010, we were asked to make 2011 just as successful. We continued to inspire foodies with delicious recipes that use Hellmann’s as an integral ingredient. We redesigned Hellmanns.co.uk, and also created their first mobile app.

CAPTOLOGY

It’s good being independent. We aren’t owned by a network. We are owned by us. For times when we need to reach a little further we can use our global ‘Captology’ network. This is a collective that provides us with global insight without the need for bricks and mortar also rewarding our clients with fresh insight and perspectives.

THE WORLD NEEDS MORE INTERESTING

It’s a big world and there’s space for more interesting things in it. Brighter, smarter, funnier, friendlier, zippier things. Things that are better designed, more inspiring or more newsworthy. We make interesting stuff happen in the real world.

TEN MINUTES AHEAD

If you want to have a really successful idea, aim for one that is 10 minutes ahead of its time, not light years ahead. Think of iTunes. The truth is, real eureka moments lie just ahead of the curve. It’s our job to get our clients’ brands there first. Being a tad ahead in a crowded category, is effectively being way out in front.
