That kind of response doesn’t happen by accident.
We built a bedroom set inside Fender HQ and teamed up with @mother_vulture to launch the new Gretsch Streamliner and Electromatic Jet Collection.
This campaign was about shifting perspective. Showing that Gretsch isn’t a relic from the past, but a force built for what’s next.
(And yeah, kicking a TV really drives that home.)

The Unlikely Way - a film that proves luxury can have a sense of humour.
Made with our friends at Magick for the brilliantly offbeat team at @studio.underd0g - this one celebrates craftsmanship and chaos in equal measure, directed by our very own @blakeclaridge
Part Willy Wonka, part Wes Anderson, it takes viewers inside a “watchmaking facility” where precision meets pink lemonade, flamingo feathers, and a few tears (literally). Founder Richard Benc and his real team star as themselves - with a cheeky cameo from Justin Hast.
Shot in @york_road_studio , we built and rebuilt worlds overnight, wheeling in paintable flats and handmade props to craft something that felt as tactile and playful as the brand itself.
It was an ambitious budget but that became the magic. Constraints shaped the style, and the result feels reflects the brand - bold, charming, and wonderfully unexpected.

Conjured this one up for the brand as I loved their pies but felt like they needed something fresh to compete with a world at the end of a click.
Shot in a tiny studio against a tv screen, no kitchens involved.
