CLIENTS
Meet some of our amazing clients.

CALM | From avoidance to action
No-one wants to talk about suicide. But the Campaign Against Living Miserably knew that talking about suicide saves lives. We found ways to break down those barriers – finding the case for support and talkability in one of the last great taboos.
Ripple Effect | A new name for the 21st Century
Remember Send a Cow? When the charity outgrew its name (they don’t send cows) they asked us to find a new one. Ripple Effect conveys their role in catalysing sustainable yields in African farming, and a smart investment for funders.
