Challenge

Even though Marmoleum was invented 125 years ago, this floor is still the floor of the future. It’s still very modern and purely made from natural products. But, this is a big secret for architects and interior designers. Their perception of this floor is that it is old fashioned and outdated.

Due to the marble look and feel, the smell of linoleum and the fact that this floor is laying now for ages already in hospitals, elderly homes and schools. So the challenge is to turn their perception. Using the introduction of the new Solid line of Marmoleum, to show that this floor is modern and nature based (a natural floor is good for your well being).

Solution

Step into modern nature with Marmoleum. The campaign shows the re-connection between nature and different spaces. This convinces the target audience that this is the floor you need to integrate in your designs to be future proof. Literately showing the connection between nature and Marmoleum; photographing a step from nature into an interior.

Combining design, nature and people into strong images. We created a global B2B campaign for Forbo seen in every important architect magazine, collaboration with Dezeen, exposed at Interior events and social media, only targeted on interior designers and architects.

Challenge

Maersk required a centralised platform for employees worldwide to easily order a wide range of branded items for home, office, sports, and children, ensuring brand consistency and operational efficiency.

This solution facilitates the online procurement of Maersk branded merchandise. Additionally, the selection process emphasizes sustainability, underscoring the company’s dedication to eco-friendly practices.

Solution

We developed a dynamic online Brand store for Maersk to streamline the ordering of branded merchandise worldwide, ensuring brand consistency and operational efficiency. This centralised platform not only simplifies the procurement process but also showcases Maersk’s commitment to sustainability by selecting eco-friendly products.

The store continually refreshes its inventory with new items to maintain interest and urgency, replacing sold-out products with new ones and updating designs on popular items like notebooks and socks to keep the selection fresh and appealing. This strategy enhances user engagement and reinforces Maersk’s eco-conscious image.

GARMIN tasked us with designing, manufacturing, and installing a standout shop-in-shop (SIS) for GO Outdoors’ largest European store in York. The objective was to create an eye-catching, immersive space that reflects GARMIN’s rugged, high-performance ethos across its outdoor, running, and cycling product categories.​

Our Retail & Brand Experience team developed a bold design concept that blended form and function. From 3D renders to technical drawings, we created a premium retail environment using layered storytelling and high-impact visuals. The space featured:

• A large play table showcasing GARMIN’s product range
• A dramatic back wall for campaign storytelling
• A totem-style unit for specialist InReach devices
• Integrated digital signage and backlit TFS graphics for dynamic & future content

With just four weeks from design sign-off to launch, our in-house project managers led every stage including site surveys, production, and installation, coordinating closely with both GARMIN and GO Outdoors to deliver on time for the official store opening.

The result is a dynamic, brand-led space that invites exploration, enhances the shopper journey, and flexes for future campaigns. This format is now being rolled out across other stores.

After successful launches in the US and LATAM, the much-loved streaming service that has delivered countless iconic series and films will now be available to a European audience for the first time, as of 21st May 2024.
