Together we create film and live
experiences that inspire and persuade.
We also combine fresh creativity with a few old fashioned values - like listening to our clients and never losing sight of the brief; and putting more of your budget where it actually belongs: on-screen.
World Expo Unrivalled Experience
We are probably Europe’s most experienced creative agency when it comes to harnessing the communications power of World Expos.
We have been repeatedly engaged by the government of the UAE to help create its award-winning pavilions in Zaragoza (2008), Shanghai (2010), Yeosu (2012) and Milan (2015).

Dubai 2020 Victory
Our experience was put to good use in helping Dubai achieve its stated goal of transitioning from Expo exhibitors to Expo hosts.
Over a two-year communications campaign, we wrote and produced a string of memorable films to present Dubai’s value proposition to 167 member states.
We also assisted with on-the-ground presentation services for many of the General Assembly meetings including the final vote in Paris in November 2013.
Corporate Experience
We also have over 50 years combined experience of working with some of the world’s most successful and demanding corporate clients.
We collaborate very closely with them to develop effective messaging that is fresh, motivating and credible.
