WORLD CLASS LIST

London-based agency Something Media approached us to collaborate on a series presented by World Class Drinks and Diageo Reserve – the company behind Johnnie Walker, Tanqueray, Smirnoff, and plenty more. The chance to work alongside such iconic global brands was a profound experience, and we learnt a lot about ourselves and the kind of work we want to be doing.

A
GLOBAL
ADVENTURE

We needed to create a content series that uncovered the world’s best drinks in some of the world’s coolest locations – but we had to get it done with a small, nimble team. From past experience, we know there’s no better way to discover a new city than a night out with a local – so that’s where the story began. What happened next was a big undertaking for just a few people, but we were quietly confident that the long days and longer nights would be well worth it in the end.

8 CITIES
10 WEEKS
THE WORLDS
BEST DRINKS

We touched down in eight cities to create eight 22-minute episodes, trailers, more than 20 how-to-mix videos and a full suite of supporting photography – a production we are deeply proud of and reminder of the huge things that can be accomplished by a small team of dedicated people who are willing to roll their sleeves up. 

Content fit for modern consumption

We produced a wide variety of content fit for a wide variety of platforms and screen sizes, giving the client scope to share the project multiple times and engage with the largest audience possible.

This included ‘How-To’ videos, edits for social media advertising, and much more.

The series global reach and lasting impact has been awesome – released in over 100 countries and featured on leading airlines in-flight entertainment, it’s transformed content into commercial opportunities for the client through unique platforms like Amazon Prime.

“This is held up as best in class in the industry and this is the first time I’ve seen really good, quality content through to commerce across Amazon globally”

—Anthony Reeves, Global Executive Creative Director Amazon Global
ON A SIDE NOTE


After eight months of pre-production, 2 blocks of weeks straight shooting, and seven collective months in post, we achieved a huge end-to-end outcome for some of the biggest brands in the world – pretty special. Having your work viewed by millions of people isn’t always what we set out to do, but it’s certainly rewarding watching it happen.
