Samsung Galaxy S8 Launch – The Box

To launch the Samsung Galaxy S8 we created an experience that brought to life the phone’s revolutionary new infinity screen.


A box was placed in Grand Canal Dock with a countdown timer on it. Then when it finally opened, well… It’s best explained in the film. It was built by Catapult Productions.


The art director was Conor Kenny.

The copywriter was Jack Robertson.

Hailo to mytaxi – New Brand. Be Grand.

We worked on Hailo’s rebrand to mytaxi in both Ireland and in London. This was a hugely complex challenge involving migrating drivers and passengers to a new app in two markets, while creating a new brand identity and a brand purpose that would work across the entire European market. Above is a really fun launch activation we created for the Irish market along with Catapult Productions.


The art director on this project was Barry Sweeney.

The copywriter was Jack Robertson.
