Little Big Travellers: Millenial Parents' Guide To Travel

There’s never been a better time to be a traveller, and a worse one to be a hotel brand. Tough times call for smart measures; ours was to inspire millennial parents and their little big travellers to brave the world. By helping these parents to reconcile the me-first thrill of millennial travel with the kids-first responsibility of family travel, we helped Holiday Inn to find relief from mounting pressure from other hotels and short-term rental (read: Airbnb), and lift brand perception and revenue from Singapore travellers in AMEA markets.

HP The Wolf

It’s time to rethink your office printer. “The Wolf,” a dramatic episodic series starring Christian Slater, exposes the many ways in which a hacker can bring down an organization through one of the most overlooked office devices: the printer. The campaign fundamentally shifted the perception of printer security and the HP brand among IT professionals and and brought declining industry B2B printer sales up by 6%.
