We're here to help future-facing businesses address the marketing challenges of today by creating, measuring and optimising content both globally and locally.
A multi award-winning short film - a cutting take on the scourge of fake news and the slightly ignorant, slightly gullible conspiracy theorists that fall for it. Collaborating with Havas London, it’s an amazing display of what the HKX village does when it comes together, sparked by a fantastic, darkly funny idea. Written and directed by Havas’ very own Rosie May Bird Smith - she sent us on a brilliantly bizarre, sheep-filled journey, creating a film we’re all proud of. The judges seem to quite like it too: Beyond the Short, Papaya Young Creators 2022, Think Shorts, Film Shortage, Shiny Awards
Formula 1 needed to modernise its image in order to attract new audiences to the sport. Taking the opportunity presented by the long-awaited return of Aston Martin to the tracks, the brand team commissioned Havas Studios to create a striking launch film, supported by an interactive fan platform, I/AM. Working in partnership with Havas Helia, the team delivered creative concepts, production and final content in just three weeks. Following the success of the campaign, Aston Martin I/AM was shortlisted for a British Arrows Award for emerging talent in sound design.
Working with award-winning Animation Director, Francesca de Bassa, we helped French students returning to school after summer embrace their creativity and stand out from the crowd. The combination of a live-action shoot, illustration, 2D animation and perfectly pastel colour palette, resulted in a film steeped in Parisian Hip Hop nostalgia that shows every student is creative, no matter what they study.
We don’t only do the big budget stuff. Need some quick-fire social content? We got you. Part of Havas London’s new campaign for the Open University aired on the TikTok TopView - a new space for the client - offering an immersive viewing experience with no other competing content. Led by an entirely internal Studios team, and shot on an iPhone in a green screen studio in a way that allowed the client to see exactly how each scene would look as we filmed. A flexible approach resulted in a happy, confident client, led by a lean team and budget.
