Co-founded by entrepreneur Ben Jeffries and YouTuber Caspar Lee, we re a global team, with some of the best talent in the industry, championing a new era of creativity and producing award-winning campaigns for brands such as Alibaba, PepsiCo, Mars, Procter & Gamble, Pernod Ricard and Pokerstars, to name a few.
