'Don't let the lights go out' for The Salford Lads' & Girls' Club by Dentsu Creative

Now, this historic institution faces an urgent challenge: raising £250,000 by the end of November to keep its doors open and its legacy alive.

'Drink a Little. Risk a Lot' for The Department for Transport by VML
The Department for Transport’s latest THINK! campaign tackles the dangerous misconception that driving after consuming a small amount of alcohol is safe. With the festive season approaching, the 'Drink a Little. Risk a Lot.' message highlights the serious social, financial and reputational consequences of drink driving. Created in collaboration with VML, the campaign uses striking visuals by British illustrator Tim McDonagh, whose bold, graphic style—heavily influenced by old comics, gig posters, and tattoos—aims to capture the attention of 17-24-year-old men in their social spaces.
