Surprising fact: 25% of those aged over 65 are digitally excluded. That's almost 3.1 million individuals missing out on the online world. 🌐

Good news: Our client, BT Group, is on a mission for change, and we're thrilled to partner with them! Our recent campaign for BT Senior Skills, empowers older generations with essential digital skills to unlock the world of possibilities online. 💪

How? We wanted to inspire their loved ones to guide them on this digital journey, showcasing the joy, connection, and opportunities of the online world. 💻📱❤️

🎨 Our creative approach flips the script, challenging the typical ads you see involving lonely seniors. We started with this cold, empty scene before transitioning to a vibrant, connected world, thanks to the catalyst of getting online. 🌟 caption.

This week we launched Equal View, the brand new campaign from which is tackling visual misrepresentation of women’s football. In partnership with Getty Images, Equal View provides a representative view of women’s football by creating a globally diverse bank of images that show a more accurate depiction of what the game really looks like today. Captured throughout this summer’s international tournament, the images capture the true diversity of the football ecosystem - Sports Direct is aiming to shift perceptions after 44% of fans agreed that women’s sports should be represented more in the media (according to GWI data). Check out some of the images for yourself here! ⚽️
