There’s always something very sobering about the MRS Awards shortlist announcement

Not only does it remind us that the year is much more than halfway through, but to see our name in any one of those categories is testament to the great work that we do with our clients. While we have been shortlisted for at least one award every year since 2005 (and won at least one every year…bar one), it is always a nice feeling. We are honoured to get some of the best, the meatiest, the most influential briefs out there. The work we do really is transformational for our clients and their brands and we love partnering on these challenges with them, to put real life at the heart of their decision making.

This year is a little different, however, as it sees us shortlisted in the Best Agency (under £20m) category. A shortlist we have been on 3 times before over the last 10 years…not that that isn’t an honour, of course, but you know…hopefully this will be our year.

Looking back over the paper, we see the heartwarming and heartfelt quotes from some of our clients across sectors who have partnered with us time and time again on global and local projects, the great new business wins, the change to our internal working culture and the things our team do to give back on a wider level, it is hard not to beam with pride about that.

Only time will tell if we take home the gold (56 days to be precise) but, regardless, we are proud to be pushing things forward, delivering Unconventional Thinking and Uncommon Sense to some of the world’s biggest brands from our offices in London and New York.

If you want to hear more about what we do, or have a brief that needs some Unconventional Thinking, then please just get in touch.
