The mobile network's brief to Neverland is to refresh its brand and creative strategy and “reflect what consumers expect and want in 2022 and onwards”.
The £10.9m account previously worked with Stink Studios on a series of campaigns. One innovative campaign included a TV ad in British Sign Language (BSL), which featured an animated avatar of Giffgaff customer Aleks, who used BSL to explain the reasons he likes the brand.
“Giffgaff is a brand consumers have always loved and we are thrilled to be working with the team to set its successful new future,” Simon Massey, co-founder of Neverland, said.
Sophie Wheater, chief marketing officer at Giffgaff, added: “We’re at a hugely exciting point in Giffgaff’s brand history as we look to evolve to meet changing consumer needs. We’re delighted to be working with Neverland to create an ambitious future-focused strategy.”
Giffgaff’s media account is run by Havas Media.
