Pitting Messi against Kobe
To demonstrate Turkish Airlines’ tagline: “flying to more countries than any other airline” we created the ‘Widen Your World’ campaign and launched it in 21 languages and 170 countries as a consumer call-to-action to seek new opportunities and experience a brand new kind of world. We leveraged a pop-cultural phenomenon with the “Kobe vs. Messi: The Selfie Shootout” using the world’s greatest footballer to challenge the world’s greatest basketball player to a battle of selfies. The result? The most viewed YouTube’s ad of all time, and fastest spreading commercial in their history.

Scotch & Summer
Whisky. It’s all leather armchairs and cosy, smoke-filled studies. Something only to be savoured on a dark winter’s evening, probably in cold and flu season…right? WRONG!

Making money cool again
We launched PayPal as ‘New Money’. Our idea was to make them stand for all the positive advancements that have been developed in the payment world, pushing against the old way of doing things, which people saw as a broken financial system. Our anthemic ad followed up with social and digital films put a stake in the ground and shift perceptions. The app saw more downloads than any month or quarter tracked by PayPal, and social conversation sentiment increased significantly from -22% to 33%.

CPB who?
We’re one of the few places that have creative disruption in our DNA. We were born that way.
And when CPB say ‘disruptive’ we mean big, human, emotionally engaging ideas that affect and create culture rather than simply following it. Ideas that real people want to share with their mates and their mums. Stuff that creates buzz in the real world.
It’s a big old world. And it’s full of CPB offices. From America to Brazil, Europe and China. All working together in unique ways for the same purpose. It’s great to be part of it. Have a look at what everyone else is up to, here.
And here are the people who head-up things in London:
Helen James
Managing Director
Dave Day

Brands have a vital role to play in shaping the conversation around women’s health
In the world of marketing, finding the right balance between purpose and profit has become a subject of ongoing debate. One might wonder what Terry Smith, founder and CEO of Fundsmith, an investment management company, would think about the recent success of the Barbie movie. Mattel’s venture into the theatrical realm aligns with their brand purpose of ‘inspiring the limitless potential of every girl,’ leading to a remarkable 20% surge in their share price since the beginning of 2023. This surge, particularly prominent since late June in anticipation of the film’s release, raises intriguing questions about the interplay between purpose and financial success.
The (other) Climate Gender Gap
Gender is perhaps the dimension of workplace diversity that has improved most over time. But progress on getting more women into leadership roles is at best slow and steady, and at worst those advancements have flatlined. Why, when the correlation between women at the C-suite level and a business’s profitability is repeatedly proven?
