Making history…

Hands.Face.Space. 

During the pandemic, when the government changed their message to “Stay Alert” we were working with the GP Taskforce in the Midlands. As “Stay Alert” didn’t make much sense, doctors tasked us to come up with a phrase that could stay constant regardless of what the government guidance was. Within 12 hours of “Stay Alert” being introduced, we had  Hands.Face.Space.

We updated it for Betfred  when the shops were allowed to open – to become Think Hands, Think Face. Think Space. Bet Safe –  and a few days later, it was adopted by the government (apart from the betting bit). And then it was everywhere.

Manchester Versus Cancer.

Until Manchester Versus Cancer, we didn’t used to see the word “cancer” on billboards or advertising. It was just “the big C”. Stephen came up with the name because we’d booked the Manchester Arena, which was famous for boxing as well as music. Manchester against Cancer, the original branding was also red and blue – like the corners of the ring and the red and blue of the Manchester football teams. Read more.

 

Hacienda Classical

We did two versions of Hacienda Classical. The first for Channel 4, which was all about the music. The second (our favourite) was how Hooky, Fletch and the Manchester Camerata produced musical magic, from the very first rehearsals all the way through the Royal Albert Hall to the triumphant Manchester Castlefield concert. The second version went in cinemas. Stephen was producer, Chris Cowey directed. Read more

 

The Tube

Sometimes you’re ahead of your time. Sometimes it’s by decades. We produced The Tube while YouTube was still “a bit niche” and Myspace was the only player in town. In the 00s it featured REM, Enter Shikari, New Order, I am Kloot, Camera Obscura, Jamie T, Panda Bear, DJ Shadow, The Noisettes and Kasabian, imagine that with the power of X, Insta, TikTok or YouTube behind it. (By the way, we’re open to offers commissioners).Read more…
