C+S Christmas party 2023.

Thank you to the Michelin recommended for being so great that we went late into the night & shut the place down after midnight. Incredible food & drink, the best people and a very intense and “spirited” KAHOOT quiz that resulted in elevated emotions...and a wide array of prizes.

Grateful for the past year and getting to partner with an amazing group of visionaries and organizations launching big ideas out into the world. See you all in 2024.

Farewell summer and hello fall. As we move into autumn, we are always working to refocus in on why we do what we do, and this year is no exception. In our aim to “launch big ideas”, we are more committed than ever to be a partner and problem solver first and creatives / designers / filmmakers second. Leading from a place of empathy and understanding that then leads to ideas, designs, concepts, etc… People first people, living in the grey, helping solve problems.

FOCUS • A strategic approach

In the strategy stage/explore stages of every project, we put aside intital creative bias, limitations and contraints. From this 30,000ft view of references, sketches, and inspiration, the lens begins to focus on creative choices that align best with each project.

We have loved our rich partnership with Wagner Hills Farm Society throughout this year as they continue to grow and build for the future. Taking on the largest fundraising campaign in their 40 year history was no small task.

As we developed a robust campaign strategy, the concept of a beautiful coffee table book that lives on for years and tells the compelling story of wagner hills.

There is nothing like working with physical print - the subtle embossed logos, the way the pages are asking to be revealed, the spreads of vibrant imagery and colour.
