Creative campaigns the Wildish way
A creative campaign is more than a big idea, it's that idea built to survive contact with TV, out-of-home, social, digital and everything in between. We plan, concept and produce integrated campaigns end to end: from the insight that shapes the idea, to the channel mix that carries it, to the measurement that proves it worked.

What a successful creative campaign looks like 👀
PensionBee
"Born to Retire," our campaign for PensionBee, challenged how an entire industry talks about retirement, across TV, VOD, out-of-home and social, to reach a new generation of savers. See the case study →
Immerse
Our campaigns don’t start with a moodboard. We start with you.
We kick off by immersing ourselves in your world: you will do a lot of talking and we will do a lot of listening. As well as collecting insight for your campaign's goals, this stage gets us all on the same page and feeling like one team.
We will visit your spaces, spend time with your teams, interview key stakeholders and host a workshop to get us all thinking in new directions for your future creative campaigns.
From research partners to observations to classic desk research. We now gather and analyse as much of our own insight as possible - then layer it upon what we learnt from you in Step 1.
This deep dive will allow us to ring-fence your white space and focus the vision for your brand's campaign. It will begin to shape your campaign idea and overarching direction.
Creative Development
Now it’s time to build out some campaign ideas.
Based on the insight and direction of the previous stage, we will create 3 exciting campaign platforms; of which we will take 1 forward.
What each platform contains will be customised to your specific deliverables, but will often contain elements such as: messages, initial creative direction thoughts and possible future marketing opportunities for each.
At this stage we encourage you to:
1. Sleep on it - Let the campaign ideas settle. See what rises to the top
2. Think THEM - What will inspire your audience?
3. Be brave - What would be memorable? Safe doesn't stand out.
The campaign concept is confirmed - so it’s time to explore the creative execution.
We will break down the design elements of the campaign and present to you creative directions, each of these will consider things such as: photography, illustration typography, colour and animation.
We will also discuss creative elements which may span all routes such as casting, shot scenarios, storyboards and video edit direction.
Pre Production
Planning a successful campaign shoot takes a lot orchestration, vision and expertise. Every decision and detail, big or small, will have a huge impact on the final campaign assets.
With pre production, we will fine tune and plan every element - from set dressing, to casting, to story boards, to sound design.
Each shoot requires different specialists. Our black book of DP’s, Makeup artists, Prop stylists etc is used at this stage to bring specific experts into the project.
We will guide you through each choice, explaining our recommendations and all creative or budgetary implications.
Production
Time to shoot!
Our team will work with you through Pre-Production to arrange everything from location hire to model casting. We will sort all the crew too, from the Director of Photography to props to gear hire - so you won’t have to worry about a thing, just turn up and enjoy the day.
Our in-house Producer will run the whole day and you’ll be on-set with us to sign off each shot or scene as we shoot, locking in as we go as part of a highly collaborative process so there’s no surprises in the edit.
Post Production
It’s now time for the un-sung hero of production - post.
Although we would have been signing off shots live at the shoot itself, it’s now time to evaluate our output as a whole and make our selects for the final campaign assets.
We will take these RAW files and transform them into polished, cohesive creative campaign assets ready for designers and formatted appropriately.
This is where we colour grade, add visual effects, edit, sound mix, record voice overs or extras sounds needed and more.
It’s now time to bring it all together into a cohesive story and creative campaign.
We will apply the final graphic treatments, visualising how everything will look across different deliverables to bring everything to life for your team.
This stage will also finalise the campaign's messaging framework, including CTA’s.
Deliver
Now it’s time to hand over.
We will outline your campaign's design system, rules, strategy and usage examples to help you maximise impact from your campaign.
This campaign toolkit will be in the form of a customised microsite - this will allow you to quickly access assets and practically use the brand day-to-day.
This is also the point where we deliver all assets outlined in our project scope.

FAQS about our creative campaign services
What's the difference between a campaign and a rebrand? ↓
A rebrand changes who you are: your identity, your tone, sometimes your name. A campaign takes who you already are and gets it in front of the right people, loud enough and sharp enough to actually be noticed. You don't need to touch your branding to run a strong campaign with us. Some of our best campaign work sits on top of identities we had no hand in building.
Do you handle media planning and buying, or just the creative? ↓
Both, when you want us to. We work out where an idea needs to live before we start building it, so the creative is shaped for TV, out-of-home, social or digital from day one, not squeezed into those formats afterwards. Already got a media agency in place? We're just as comfortable plugging our creative straight into their plan.
What channels do you typically work across? ↓
TV and VOD, out-of-home, social and digital, produced in-house rather than handed off to a network of freelancers. PensionBee's "Born to Retire" campaign ran across all four, built from one idea rather than four separate briefs. If a channel isn't right for what you're trying to do, we'll tell you before it's in the plan, not after it's underperformed.
How do you know if a campaign actually worked? ↓
We set the metrics before the campaign goes live, not after, and tie them to what the campaign was actually meant to do: brand lift, leads, sign-ups or coverage, depending on the brief. Reach is easy to buy and easy to report. We'd rather show you the number that was actually the point.
