Cogs & Marvel

As one of the principal sponsors of Advertising Week Europe 2024, TikTok for Business set us the challenge to create a unique central activation, with brand and environmental flourishes to elevate the “TikTok Co-Working Garden”, with the central aim to land key business messaging through the activation. "TikTok works for you” was the mantra set out by the TikTok for Business team, so we devised a bespoke kiosk to make Advertising Week a whole lot more rewarding. A fun, personalized Q&A and scratchcard game mechanic gave lucky winners access to the branded TikTok lockers, each themed around three key brand trends - Get Creative / Get Inspired / Make Impact, and to be in with the chance to win essential Advertising week swag. The bold lockers were a standout hero feature and photo moment for attendees, with branded hanging installation, as well as rolling TikTok creator content, infographics, installations and DJ booth. #AdvertisingWeek #TikTokForBusiness

For a rapt audience of several hundred at this years SXSW, we presented a panel on a subject we take rather seriously: how brands can harness the power of Play. #sxsw #cogsandmarvel #play #experiential

Amazing speakers: ✅ Valuable insights: ✅ Engaged audience: ✅ We couldn't have asked for a better reception for our SXSW panel, "Play as Brand Strategy," nor better co-panelists to do it with. Thank you to everyone who came out and participated, from sharing the childhood toy that's shaped you to staying afterward to ask questions. Here's to making the world more playful! #swsw2024 #cogsandmarvel

We saved the best for last. The one perhaps everyone can relate to. Clients, agencies, employees and younger people coming into the industry all deserve to stop the endless performance, masking the fact we have separate lives and competing demands outside the workplace or space. Work to live or live to work? Both or maybe something new altogether? Our #IWD2024 manifesto sets out our stall. Not just for this week, but as a fundamental belief that success at work (and in life) can only be as good as the organisational culture you belong to. https://lnkd.in/eT8T8Tfm #dei #iwd2024 #women #work #equality

DE&I may be falling out of favour amongst some corporations - but not here at Cogs & Marvel. We want to begin a stripped-back conversation, with our employees, clients, peers and friends. A baring of souls and coming together of truths – the sort that you pretend don’t exist when you are on the other side of the table. How can we all do better? Our #IWD2024 manifesto sets out our stall. Not just for this week, but as a fundamental belief that success at work (and in life) can only be as good as the organisational culture you belong to. https://lnkd.in/eT8T8Tfm #dei #iwd2024 #women #work #equality

For all the International Women’s Days of the last millennia, we’re all too often the ones frantically texting under the meeting table. We wanted to do a robust IWD survey to convey the realities. Something to quote right here with punchy illustrative super stats that would have you thumping the desk in thinly-veiled rage. But we didn’t have time…. It's easy to poke fun at hashtags, but we know IWD isn’t just a day. Our #IWD2024 manifesto sets out our stall. Not just for this week, but as a fundamental belief that success at work (and in life) can only be as good as the organisational culture you belong to and how you’re supported when you need it. https://lnkd.in/eT8T8Tfm #dei #iwd2024 #women #work #equality

It's easy to poke fun at hashtags, but we know IWD isn’t just for a day. Nor is DE&I. It’s a belief that women (everyone really, but for the sake of today let’s keep this about us) are more than workers. We’re lovers, mothers, partners, friends, mentors and well, three-dimensional beings with interests. Here at Cogs & Marvel, we are assertive, talented and energised women who work with equally assertive, talented and energised men. Our #IWD2024 manifesto below sets out our stall. Not just for this week, but as a fundamental belief that success at work (and in life) can only be as good as the organisational culture you belong to. https://lnkd.in/eT8T8Tfm   #dei #iwd2024 #women #work #equality

🚨 SXSW ALERT 🚨 What’s the power of play when it comes to experiential brand activations? Along with three other experts, our very own Creative Director Gregory Schram will explore why brands often dismiss play - and the hidden benefits it can bring to those who wield it - as a panelist for Play as Brand Strategy.
