    Kylie Cosmetics @ ASOS

    A CGI campaign featuring giant cosmetics taking over London.
    We managed to spark a full-blown internet controversy when media outlets accused us of stealing a Maybelline concept…a physical impossibility in 3D animation timelines but an absolute masterclass in getting everyone on the internet to talk about the launch.

    ASOS In Real Life

    To mark Black Friday, we built the first physical space in ASOS’s history.
    It was a manifestation of the ASOS app in Soho. Four floors, 30+ brands and live panel talks designed to remind Gen Z that before online shopping, people used to walk into buildings, try on clothes and wait in lines.
