The challenge

The United Grand Lodge of England came to us with an image problem. Negative myths and misconceptions surrounded the activities of the ancient lodges, whose workings are famously mysterious. It wanted to show freemasonry’s contemporary face.

Our solution

Our response started with a revamp of Freemasonry Today, the quarterly magazine for United Grand Lodge of England – one of the oldest orders, with 8,000 lodges, including 12 overseas. Moving on from a focus on history, ritual and exclusivity, the magazine now reveals an organisation that is progressive, forward-looking and part of the fabric of modern society.

The results

Lifestyle writers, fashion photographers and broadsheet journalists bring a fresh perspective to freemasonry, while an exciting redesign furthers the magazine’s appeal to younger readers. Importantly, we also shine a spotlight on the order’s charitable work as one of the largest charity givers in the UK, revealing how its philanthropic contributions directly benefit the community and advance medical research.

The challenge

Savills World Research leads the way on global real-estate issues. But not everyone knows it. To showcase Savills’ insight and intelligence to a wider world, we create brilliant content that reaches new audiences on an international scale, from clients, investors and policy advisors to journalists, influencers and academics.

The solution

To cut through, we design content with authority and clout. A flagship print publication, complemented by a suite of interactive digital content, tackles issues of investment risks and rewards, with thought-leading articles by independent global experts. Trends, both macro and micro, are forecast; socio-economic and political contexts are analysed; policies and policymakers are probed.

Impacts received extraordinary PR coverage across international media, including the front page of FT.

It all adds up to a hefty package of world-class content – an innovative and invaluable resource that successfully attracts the attention of target audiences around the globe.

Email open rates are now reaching 36% – 250% higher than previously – when the industry average is 19%

The challenge

The high-end real-estate business is incredibly competitive. To stand out from rivals and showcase its market-leading expertise, Savills needed a communications strategy that packed a punch.

Our solution

With our online, email and print programme, we gave them the ammunition to cut through and prove its outstanding knowledge, unrivalled experience and standout portfolio of prime properties.

A luxurious 168-page annual embodies the brand and forms an exclusive ‘gift’ for agents to give to prospects. Beautifully crafted, with premium production values, it tells design-led stories, gives expert insights and sparkles with property eye-candy. As the backbone to the brand, content is repositioned online in The Savills Portfolio content hub and on social channels, and new content is created regularly to maintain momentum throughout the year.

The results

A premium aesthetic unites all channels – the style, format and design represent a new look and feel for the sector. And the content clearly resonates with an audience that is accustomed to quality. The most recent online content achieved more than 10,000 web views in the first week, an average email open rate of 32%, and social views hit 52,000.

A sparkling e-commerce offering for Moët Hennessy

  • Editorial & copywriting

The challenge

Moët Hennessy is the parent company of a number of well-known champagnes, wines and spirits. Granting us access to unique information from these prestigious maisons, we were tasked with establishing a consistent style and tone of voice for product descriptions and landing pages for a new e-commerce platform (Clos19), which also functions as a community hub for information and authentic experiences.

Our Solution

A wealth of sparkling content was created from scratch for each maison, alongside newsletters, social copy and printed brochures. Today, through the Clos19 platform, Moët Hennessy sells its own brands (Veuve Clicquot, Dom Pérignon, Krug, Belvedere, Hennessy, Glenmorangie and more) and has recently expanded to offer non Moët Hennessy brands, too. Visitors to the site can also find recommendations and food pairings directly from the producers, and buy exclusive products, sets and accessories and experiences only available on Clos19.

Alongside the products on offer, there is Journal19, a blog that we create editorial content for. Blog content consistently features in the top five editorial pieces across the site, with time on page and bounce rate having improved – the latter by 37%.

The challenge

‘Life demands excellence.’ The Royal Marsden’s pledge reflects a first-class approach to everything it does. That includes communication – with its patients, staff, research partners, foundation trust members and fundraisers. And the world-leading cancer hospital has truly important stories to tell – of clinical brilliance, best medical practice, pioneering research, human compassion and outstanding care.

Our solution

To showcase the differing audiences’ needs, we created a suite of bespoke print publications. The tailored content is shot through with expert voices and patient case studies to make complex medical science a readable and tangible reality.

The results

With more than 50 issues published, RM is the confident flagship magazine, a quarterly title for patients, staff and stakeholders. Private Care showcases the hospital’s first-class private service. Progress champions the fundraising efforts of The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. Advance highlights the hospital’s scientific breakthroughs in partnership with the Institute of Cancer Research and their joint Biomedical Research Centre.

Our work for The Royal Marsden is pro bono, yet each publication is crafted to the highest standards. With unique access to leading clinicians, patients and surgical procedures, the photography and editorial packs a real punch.

The latest issue of Progress raised more than £50k in donations for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity – that’s a 35% year-on-year increase

Original thinking from London Business School

THE CHALLENGE

London Business School was looking to raise the profile of its leadership programmes and executive courses among experienced senior level and c-suite professionals across the globe. All first-rate business schools offer an almost identical portfolio of leadership programmes, making it difficult for a potential prospect to make an informed decision about which course might be right for them.

OUR SOLUTION

We developed a multi-channel campaign that demonstrated clearly and confidently what to expect from an LBS leadership programme by focusing on career outcomes as well as the quality of the learning experience. We filmed eight successful business leaders who were LBS alumni, who shared their own stories about the programme they had attended and how it helped to accelerate their career as well as build up their business network. We also shot portrait photography and created assets for organic and paid social, email and web.

The video and portrait photography were shot at the London Design Centre in North Greenwich, whose modern architecture and innovative space created a unique, non-corporate backdrop for the Original Thinkers campaign. By focusing on first person experiences and career outcomes, rather than on selling courses, the campaign – supported by a paid media plan – achieved brand awareness and cut-through for the LBS leadership offering in a more engaging, personal, and thoughtful way.

Launching the Clarins Express Skin Service

The challenge

The Clarins Express Skin Service includes nine complementary services in-store customers can choose from, which focus on skincare treatments, make-up tutorials and body pampers. The brand asked Sunday to create content that supports its ambition to highlight and reclaim Clarins’ heritage in treatments and skincare expertise through a series of content assets that need to be deployed through the funnel.

Our solution

We began by setting out a series of creative principles to give the work a natural feel and make it stand out from some of the sterile competition. The visual identity has a daylight feel, a sense of place and captures pampered ‘moments’. The result is a warm, relatable approach that showcases the expertise and personal touch of Clarins.

The results

The Sunday in-house video, creative and copywriting teams produced video and still photography, and copy toolbox sets were produced for each of the nine services, with assets created for social, web and POS.

We knew instantly that Sunday was the agency for us. Not only did they understand our brand like they were part of our team, the content they then produced really reflected that. They were a dream to work with, everything felt so easy and ran like clockwork. They’re the real deal – a team of content wizards who can work their magic on any project.

The challenge

John Lewis & Partners is the only British retailer with its own skilled team manufacturing home furnishings products – a fact not many of its customers know. To help it shout about this unique offering, we visited the company’s textile factory, Herbert Parkinson, to film the skilled craftspeople behind each product.

Our solution

We spent time getting to know the makers and captured candid, warm footage of people at work, as well as painting a vivid picture of the homewares themselves.

The challenge

Paper manufacturer Sappi Europe wants to be the leading voice in making print great. To demonstrate the effectiveness, adaptability, beauty and surprise of print today, along with how print can be the answer to many marketing challenges, we created Lift Off and A Glimpse into the Future of Marketing to help marketers make the most of the medium.

The two campaigns – including print, digital, social and video – investigate why it’s worth taking a fresh look at print and its unique place in the marketing mix.

Our solution

For Glimpse, we partnered with data analytics consultancy Kantar and surveyed marketing specialists across Europe and the US to find the key trends, insights and strategies businesses need for the future. It gives practical ways to maximise marketing ROI and to create campaigns that are agile and responsive, authentic and trusted.

Results so far have been impressive. Glimpse has achieved more than 1.3m impressions and nearly 2,000 new leads for Sappi.

Spread from a SAPPI magazine

Lift Off is aimed at making digital-native millennials and early Gen Z marketers stop and think – to reconsider what they thought they knew about print and digital marketing. The bold print piece uses a clever mix of print techniques and Sappi papers to showcase how weights and textures can be used for effect. The feature list includes facts and stats from industry insiders that give compelling reasons why print cuts through to customers and shows how many of today’s online-native retailers are embracing the benefits of printed magazines and catalogues.

We really enjoyed working with the Sunday team and were absolutely delighted with the results. The content is an engaging, entertaining and informative read, and we are very much looking forward to future collaboration

KPMG gets personal

THE CHALLENGE

The challenge of getting your voice heard among business leaders is one KPMG knows all too well – especially in this age of uncertainty for UK businesses. Challenging times call for creative measures.

Social post with a person and quote

OUR SOLUTION

Flipping the traditional model of promoting the company and its expertise on its head, we used client testimonials – shot in engaging cinematic style – as the basis of ‘The moments that made me’ campaign. The message from KPMG was simple: Our advice works. But don’t take our word for it – listen to our clients.

Released over eight months, this series of personal and emotive interviews, accompanied by social, blog and email marketing content, appealed to KPMG’s present and future clients, and the results spoke for themselves.

The main KPI was to drive downloads of the KPMG growth report and capture data. ‘The moments that made me’ campaign exceeded its targets by 40%.
