An ad you could literally ‘skip’
We launched Captain Obvious in the UK as a means of demonstrating that Hotels.com is the obvious choice for booking a hotel. Obviously. While the launch TV was successful in its own right across all our audiences, it was most successful at engaging with Millennials thanks to a bespoke execution with Channel 4.

Breaking walls
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.

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.
And here are the people who head-up things in London:

Brands need to wake up to the true value of women’s sport
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?
