🚨 NEW WORK 🚨 Matalan’s new campaign The Best Worst Bits is all about those moments when life goes a bit… off script Because let’s be honest, no one remembers the time everything went perfectly – we remember the unexpected chaos that somehow made the day even better. As our ECD, Imogen Tazzyman, puts it: "No one remembers the occasion where everything went as planned. Everyone remembers the time the wasp gate-crashed the party and caused utter carnage." And luckily, Matalan has you covered – because whatever life throws your way, at least you can look great handling it. #TheBestWorstBits #Matalan

We’ve done it again... We’re thrilled to announce that McCann Worldgroup is on Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies list for 2025! 🎉 This marks our second consecutive year on the list – and we’ve moved up from No. 9 to No. 6 🚀 Fast Company highlighted McCann London’s “incredibly ambitious” work for Xbox – “The Everyday Tactician,” which supported the launch of the brand’s Football Manager 24 game last year. Thank you to Fast Company for recognising the power and importance of innovation. This is a testament to the strength of our Truth Well Told philosophy, empowering us to create meaningful, impactful ideas for our clients. Not bad for a Wednesday 😄 #TruthWellTold #McCannWorldgroup

We’re bringing a splash of green to the English Channel… literally ☘️ Irish Ferries is making waves (and maybe turning a few heads) with its latest campaign, The English Channel – The Irish Way. With a cheeky nod to its heritage, we’ve renamed the channel, added a bit of Irish charm to the White Cliffs of Dover, and enlisted the brilliant Aisling Bea to lend her voice to the fun. It’s bold, playful, and full of personality, just like Irish Ferries. Just in time for St Paddy's Day too! Proud to see this one set sail ⛴️

What a session! 🎤👏 A huge shoutout to our brilliant panellists Mark Hodge, Luke Taylor, Orlaith Conlon, and our fantastic host Katy Kitchen for leading an insightful discussion on social effectiveness – from carrots to chips with McCain Foods at #MADUpNorth. We tackled some of the biggest challenges brands face in making social work beyond the vanity metrics—covering everything from the power of distinctiveness to why agility is non-negotiable. And, of course, we shared some of the ways we help brands like McCain and Aldi turn social into a real driver of impact.
