    The Numbers: 20 LED hoops stretched out over 85 meters, 250 press and influencers, Total reach of 3.8M, with 1.8M impressions.  

    To launch ASIC's #IMoveLondon campaign, The Department were engaged to devise a stimulating activation that encouraged Londoners to switch up their commute. The response was to create Run The Tube, a multi-sensory art installation, originally designed as a Burning Man artwork by Rob Jenson and Warren Trezevant, with the light patterns programmed to sync with dawn and dusk soundtracks specially composed by Desmond Lambert. #IMoveLondon was launched in Leake street tunnels for press and influencers including Lord Sebastian Coe and world champion athletes Lolo Jones, Libby Clegg and Dwight Philips. On the night, guests were invited to 'Run The Tube', to create their personalised video experience. Each guest was  live edited into their own bespoke promo video which was emailed to them the same night to share on their social channels. The installation then toured to Clapham Common and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, in conjunction with the ASICS sponsorship of the 2017 IAAF World Championships.

    Who: War Child with Carey Mulligan

    Where: London 

    The Numbers: Over £400,ooo raised,    

    In 2014 we helped raise over £300,000 for charity by directing War Child’s Winter Wassail. The following year, we were delighted to offer our services again to direct the 2015 concert at One Mayfair, working with War Child’s UK Ambassador Carey Mulligan. Just like the previous year, it was a wonderful event that raised much needed funds to provide life-changing support to the most vulnerable children whose families, communities and schools have been torn apart by war. We were honoured to be able to lend our services to such a good cause.
