Celebrating our work

Our much loved, 24 strong Creative Team delivered outstanding work for Lloyds Banking Group.  We were proud to lead this team of professional designers, film makers, photographers and event experts from 2017-2018, creating a new and transformational strategy to focus the team on higher value work.  Together, we saved significant costs and enabled a self-service culture for our business partnering colleagues.  We celebrated our work during our 2018 summer picnic.

The evolving world of work

As the working environment continues to evolve, so must organisations.  Louise joined the 2018 European Communication Summit in Berlin, to share her experiences of job sharing at the most senior level and how, rather than curb her career development, it's opened up even more opportunities.

Winning ways

In collaboration with DRP Group, Claire and Louise were proud to win 'Best Banking Communications Campaign' at the 2017 PRCA City and Financial Awards.  The award recognised the work and planning which went into an offsite event, designed to give c300 employees hands-on, interactive experiences and develop practical skills to take back into the company's working environment.  Organisers praised the event's creativity and organisation and were impressed that post-event, a staggering 120% increase in members on their internal communication platform was achieved.
