Hate-liking your mates

Everyone has a “friend” who always seems to be on holiday, showing off with a constant stream of pictures in glamourous locations. It’s natural to feel jealous, but etiquette demands a double-tap. Only haters refuse to ‘like’ Instagram photos, others just suck it up and ‘hate-like’. Our latest Captain Obvious spots push FOMO-feeling onlookers to get in on the action, by taking a trip of their own, using Hotels.com’s rewards programme.

Deontay Wilder
Burrito mascot

In anticipation for the World Heavy Weight boxing title fight by Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury and to raise awareness of BetStars as a sports book for the event, we were quick to react to real-world boxing conversation when Wilder mistakenly punched (and broke the jaw of) a ESPN burrito mascot live on air. Turning this event into a humorous, revenge based piece of video content nodding to the boxing classic, ‘Raging Bull’, following the mascots training routine on the road back to full health and in support of Tyson Fury – BetStars offered special, boosted odds on a Fury win in support of the mascot.

Breaking walls
Man carrying a Glenlivet barrel on his shoulders for "Original by Tradition" TV ad campaign by CPB London

Here’s our first, brand new campaign for The Glenlivet – Pernod Ricard’s flagship single malt Scotch whisky – which looks to open up the single malt category to a new generation. At the heart of the campaign is an epic film that takes us on a journey of The Glenlivet’s history of breaking with tradition and celebrates those who aren’t afraid of mixing things up. As we travel from one era in recent history to the next, we watch as each protagonist breaks with a whisky-related convention of the time. Tradition upended, they then literally demolish the walls of the set and a new scene and era is revealed into which the lead boldly steps. Launching the brand’s ‘Original By Tradition’ positioning, the spot pays homage to The Glenlivet’s tradition of breaking traditions, which started in 1824 when the founder George Smith was the first distiller in the Livet Valley to go legitimate.

Original by tradition
The Glenlivet OOH

The single malt whisky category looked very ‘same same’; dark, moody and fairly dull. Our brief was to change that up and make it relevant to a wider audience. The result is a brave move forward for The Glenlivet that redefines the whisky category. The visual expression of this is a new brand world, designed to live seamlessly in both digital and print.

The multi-panel design system is versatile and editorial in feel. The system allows different mediums to be combined, with single accent colours – in graphic and photographic elements – unifying each execution. Typography is big, bold, and confident. Branding is delivered solely via prominent packshots. Photography is taken in the moment; these are interesting, diverse people you’d want to hang out with. Boy do they dress well.

CPB who?

We’re one of the few places that have creative disruption in our DNA. We were born that way.

And when CPB say ‘disruptive’ we mean big, human, emotionally engaging ideas that affect and create culture rather than simply following it. Ideas that real people want to share with their mates and their mums. Stuff that creates buzz in the real world.

It’s a big old world. And it’s full of CPB offices. From America to Brazil, Europe and China. All working together in unique ways for the same purpose. It’s great to be part of it. Have a look at what everyone else is up to, here.

Brands have a vital role to play in shaping the conversation around women’s health

In the world of marketing, finding the right balance between purpose and profit has become a subject of ongoing debate. One might wonder what Terry Smith, founder and CEO of Fundsmith, an investment management company, would think about the recent success of the Barbie movie. Mattel’s venture into the theatrical realm aligns with their brand purpose of ‘inspiring the limitless potential of every girl,’ leading to a remarkable 20% surge in their share price since the beginning of 2023. This surge, particularly prominent since late June in anticipation of the film’s release, raises intriguing questions about the interplay between purpose and financial success.

The (other) Climate Gender Gap

Gender is perhaps the dimension of workplace diversity that has improved most over time. But progress on getting more women into leadership roles is at best slow and steady, and at worst those advancements have flatlined. Why, when the correlation between women at the C-suite level and a business’s profitability is repeatedly proven?
