A new world Back in May 2020 we worked with one of our most innovative clients, Relocate magazine, to bring their prestigious annual awards ceremony into a lockdown world. The challenge was to keep all the excitement and camaraderie of a regular awards ceremony whilst adhering to the restrictions we found ourselves in at the time.
Taking things to the next level One thing the new normal has forced us to do as an industry is work out new ways to do things. I’m proud to say we were at the forefront of this when we produced our first virtual awards ceremony in May 2020. Things have continued to evolve since

Just as lockdown began we were in the process of finishing work on a fun project for Philips. The video, which was originally to be shown at Design Week 2020 in Milan, talks about the four key principles by which Philips work when creating designs. It also features their key design partners in their consumer
For the last four years, we’ve proudly worked with Chris at Trigger Concepts on the Annual TeenTech awards. TeenTech is a fantastic organisation run by the legendary TV presenter and journalist Maggie Philbin that encourages school children to work in STEM (Science, technology, engineering and mathematics) subjects. Maggie’s fantastic connections and the reputation of the awards
The Challenge When Fiona Murchie from Relocate Magazine, a regular client of ours, contacted me in April about their annual awards ceremony, it was an interesting challenge she had. “Can we still have the ceremony and still have the excitement and shared experience of the live event but without breaking any social distancing rules?” Being an engineer
The Challenge Just as lockdown was happening we had a request from a large consumer electronics manufacturer to film a presentation. Not a big deal in normal circumstances, a day’s shoot and then back to the suite to edit it. However there was one other little detail that made things a bit more complicated: the
Working with Leigh has been a delightfully creative and productive experience. He consistently delivers over and above brief and his depth of communications knowledge, technical skills and appreciation of what the clients wants, and indeed needs, is outstanding. If you work with him, like me, you will not hesitate to recommend him.
