We love creativity. Our client @Cambridge_Uni's idea last year to adapt some of their oldest and best known pieces of art to reflect social distancing was a stroke of genius. A great concept for the public to remember 2020 and how our lives changed.

We love #brandswithpurpose. Last year, our client @yvonneellenUK donated 50% of the profits from the sale of two mugs ‘Off Duty’ and ‘Daydreamer’ to leading breast cancer charity @futuredreamss. It was wonderful to play a part in raising funds for such an important cause.
