Against the tide
When George Smith distilled the first drops of The Glenlivet back in 1824, he defined the flavour of Speyside whisky. But The Glenlivet would never be what it is today if he had stopped there.

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.
And here are the people who head-up things in London:
Helen James
Managing Director
Dave Day
Executive Creative Director
David Proudlock
Head of Strategy

Challenger brands are beating Olympic sponsors at their own game
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.

Political parties have got to do more to engage female voters
