We were over the moon to be shortlisted for the Campaign New Thinking Awards in the AR/VR excellence category. Our nomination follows our success recently at The British Media Awards and the Lovies in 2018.
Campaign New Thinking Awards
Plastic & Periods
We’re excited to share some of our latest work for Lil-Lets featuring magician Katherine Mills. Collaborating with some very talent partners, we’ve created and are executing a paid social campaign across YouTube, Facebook and Instagram to educate women about the amount of plastic in applicator tampons.

Last week some of us were at the annual Media Production Show. Every year, the MPS holds great masterclasses and talks, providing insight into the industry for newcomers and veterans alike.

British Media Awards: we won video of the Year!
Following our nomination earlier in the year, we are ecstatic to have won ‘Video of the Year’ at the British Media Awards 2018. We were up against some awesome finalist films from VICE UK, JOE Media and Alpha Grid. With such respected names in the mix, to have made it to the shortlist was an achievement in itself, but to pick up the award was an honour!
Travelling on Trash
Keep Cups. Paper straws. Recycled plastics in fashion. Something that is very topical, and very close to our hearts at the moment is plastic pollution. Travelling on Trash is our first short form documentary and one of the first original productions from Real Stories, because it’s an adventure woven around how plastics are affecting our rivers on a huge scale.

We just LOVE a good pun on Valentine's Day!
We've been busy fermenting!
A New Year equals new work. Normally, we’re busy distilling. But over the last couple months, we’ve been fermenting away and are now excited to share with you our new film for Eaten Alive.
Lovie Awards
We're over the moon to have received two Lovie awards! We picked up the Gold award and the audience vote in the Branded VR category for our VR film for VSO. With our creative campaign up against work for IKEA and Samsung, reaching the finals was an achievement in itself; but winning the category was the icing on the cake!

Creativity + New Reality one day symposium - H+K London
“If you want to see where the future is heading, look to where people are having the most fun” - wise words from self proclaimed IBM Evangelist Jeremy Waites, and words that sum up our takeaway from H+Ks Creativity + New reality symposium brilliantly.
The symposium's main focus was how we, as creators, can harness the power of creativity within the new realities of the world around us.
We've been shortlisted!!!

The Distillery London's Content-inental Breakfast
Earlier this week we gathered a panel of three brilliant minds for a breakfast discussion to talk through all things content and storytelling. Fuelled and caffeinated by the great team at the Riding House Cafe in our private room, it was a great session where we brought together a diverse range of brands across a range of sectors to talk through approaches to content and working with influencers. We find that challenges with content are consistent across sectors.
