Celebrating with Industry Icons

Last night, we headed to The Drum Labs in London to celebrate among some of the industry’s biggest names—Ogilvy, WPP, Unlimited, and Unilever, to name a few. There was a great buzz in the air, and it was inspiring to see our work recognized alongside so many brilliant campaigns. The event had it all: sparkling drinks, an amazing crowd, and a room full of people who genuinely love storytelling and creativity.

What This Means for Us

Getting Highly Commended feels like a huge nod to all the hard work and heart we put into each project. We’re thrilled that our films are resonating with audiences and making an impact. This recognition fuels us to keep creating stories that matter, that make people stop and feel something.

Looking Ahead

As we soak in this milestone, we’re already thinking about what’s next. We’re excited to bring fresh ideas and projects to life in the coming year—maybe even to The Drum Awards for Marketing 2025. For now, we’re just enjoying this moment and feeling grateful to everyone who’s been part of our journey so far.

Thank you to our amazing team, clients, and everyone who’s cheered us on. We couldn’t have done it without you.

Catch our celebration moments on #TheDrumAwards, and stay tuned—there’s so much more to come.
