Emmins said: "Without a doubt our recent Young Blood thought leadership piece – reflecting the hopes, fears and realities of growing up in Britain today – has put us on new brands' radars. As a result of the research, films and talks, we’ve had a number of approaches – either targeting this audience or brands asking us to help them put a face to the demographic."
The agency will be bringing the stories of the coast, craft, community and culture of Jura island, the home of Jura whisky, to life through theatrical sets, interactive audio narrative and virtual reality at a secret location in London this October.
