BIRMINGHAM 2022

The project kicked off August 2020 following a call from our friends at McCann Central presenting us with an almost tailor-made concept for Curtis Marrs. It was pretty hard to keep our excitement under control when names like Katarina Johnson-Thompson (Heptathlon world champion), Adam Peaty (swimmer, breast stroke record holder), Galal Yafai (boxing Commonwealth Game champion) & rapper Lady Leshurr.


We love making films that really excite us to work on — hopefully it means some people out there will feel the same watching them. The project was developed almost from scratch after the award, it was great to be so creatively open — we loved the challenge of making a unique film that was as much about Birmingham and the fans as it was the athletes.


Hanging out with such a great mix of amazing athletes, Olympians and world record holders. I’ve always been an athletics fan, from the amazing golden period of Daley Thomson, Cram, Ovett, It was a dream come true to work with today’s greats of Adam Peaty, Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Joe Fraser and bring them into the super weird world of Curtis Marrs.

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS CAMPAIGN

M & G

By chris curtis • January 12, 2023
Our latest film is part of a really rewarding campaign we have worked on with the agency Arthur London for the last couple of years, with videos, social media and OOH. The core idea is to bring a unique perspective and offbeat visual storytelling to what can be quite a conservative approach in the investment advertising world. We try to do this by making each scene a stand-alone visual moment that connects more obliquely to the script. For practical reasons we used rotoscoped live-action stock, but this meant we could jump between locations and people as much as we wanted, rather than a single location or studio shoot with talent. We also love to ground the M&G world with the natural world using mountains, beaches and clouds to reflect a strong dependable foundation for their ecological approach to investing.
