Justdiggit is on a mission to regreen Africa. With global warming moving in fast, we needed to speed up and think bigger. So, we built a movement of millions and turned this local NGO brand into a global icon for regreening. A badge of honor you want to wear with pride. This new lifestyle identity connects farmers in Africa to the new generation in Europe. Because regreening is done together.
We helped the KVK (Chamber of Commerce) shift from trade register to service provider for entrepreneurs. In line with this repositioning and breaking the taboo around financial problems, the KVK launched a 24h helpline for entrepreneurs in need of support. To inspire others to ask for help, famous entrepreneurs share their ‘comeback’ stories. The campaign generated media attention and the comeback line managed to help a staggering numbers of callers.
We launched Pearle's new positioning: 'Customisation for your eyes'. ('Maatwerk voor jouw ogen'). The new brand story reinforces Pearle's mission to give as many people as possible access to optimal vision and healthy eyes. Research showed us people are positively surprised by Pearle’s expertise and customer-friendliness, so it was time to update Pearle’s brand image. Optimal vision requires expert and personal advice, which is always tailor-made. The story is told through the eyes of the optician. She shows that it's all about customisation: from careful eye measurement to choosing the right lenses and the best-fitting frame. And always within the limits of your personal budget.

We helped the Lung Foundation to broaden their focus from taking care for 1 million patients to mobilizing all 17 mio Dutch to fight for healthy air and healthy lungs.

Sweetie is a virtual 10-year-old Filipino girl we created to hunt down men who have webcam sex with children. We went undercover for 8 months, identified 1,000 predators and handed them over to Interpol. Sweetie instantly became world news. Laws were changed. Men were rescued. Children were saved. Sweetie was recognized by D&AD as 1 of the 10 best campaigns of the decade.
