There’s definite shades of the 2007 Cadbury Gorilla ad about Virgin Media’s new Highland Rider spot, created by VCCP London and directed by Jeff Low – who’s also led spots for Brewdog, Fanta, and Setapp. It features a similarly anthropomorphised animal, lovingly rendered in 3D by Untold Studios and shown whizzing through the Scottish Highlands atop a Triumph Bonneville motorbike....
Overblown health claims and lofty language are nowhere to be found in Ragged Edge’s update of non-refrigerated juice brand Eager. In contrast to the sweeping (and often meaningless) taglines of other drinks companies, Eager has embraced a markedly no-nonsense approach, which comes through clearly in its new visual identity. As the brand says on its website: “It’s just good juice...

When their bus is intercepted, genre conventions would tell you that the sci-fi scene is about to play out in front of them – especially when a faceless, many-legged creature appears. Instead, its arrival gives way to a dance through the...
Design agency DNCO discusses the role of place, design, brand, and community in the metaverse – and crucially, tries to define what it actually is...
The rise of the social media influencer has seen the phenomenon branch into previously unimaginable areas in recent years, and we’ve slowly but surely grown accustomed to it. It’s unlikely many of us would have predicted the emergence of a nuclear energy influencer, yet that’s exactly what Isabelle Boemeke, AKA Isodope, is. As well as working as a model and...
Jeph Burton and Hunter Hampton, group creative directors at Johannes Leonardo, discuss the agency’s strategy to capitalise on audiences’ social spheres...
It’s been almost two years since the collapse of Philip Green’s Arcadia retail empire saw the demise of one of the British high street’s most iconic brands.
