PICO embarked on an extraordinary journey, inviting shoppers to step into a realm of boundless adventures while firmly grounded through virtual reality escapes. Spanning major shopping centres in London, Paris, and Munich during the peak sales season, this innovative seven-week campaign leveraged cutting-edge VR technology.  

Our design approach for the experiential booths fused futurism with elegance, featuring glass and light-hued materials that served as the perfect backdrop to showcase PICO's latest VR innovations. The central glass "Play Pen" stole the spotlight, offering visitors a hands-on experience, immersing them in vivid virtual worlds while securely tethered to the real one. 

Enthusiasts had the chance to consult with knowledgeable brand ambassador promo teams, receiving briefings before embarking on their own captivating virtual adventures. This initiative offered a unique fusion of real-world engagement and virtual exploration, leaving shoppers with unforgettable memories.

Navigating the Army enlistment process can be daunting, and clarity is crucial for candidates considering this path. To address the competitive recruitment landscape, the Army Recruiting Group with Capita had to ensure that vital information remains accessible throughout the application journey. 

Collaborating with Capita, DRPG crafted a series of nine informative animation films tailored to officers, regular soldiers, and reservists. These films demystified the Army's application process, empowering potential recruits with insights into what follows their decision to enlist. The project aimed to elevate candidate experiences, bolster recruitment information, and shape the future of Army recruitment. 

Triumph had already developed a new set of internal business values that were designed to underpin its 2025 plan, but they needed DRPG’s help to wrap the values in a campaign that would engage and inspire their people.

Employee feedback was extremely positive with one commenting, “Originally sceptical but enjoyed the session. Glad to see Triumph following on the company presentation and not just some empty words with assumed consent, but valuable sessions gaining buy-in.” 

Tesco engaged DRPG to campaign their brand-new virtual GP offering and improved employee value proposition. We were joined by the client at an offsite location as we directed and shot the main launch film. 

This was to be a core deliverable in the assets we provided alongside two ‘how to’ animations for all brands under the Tesco umbrella which allowed them to understand; the benefits of the services; how they could access them; and what real-life value it could add to their lives. The offering itself aligns perfectly with the values we have here at DRPG in looking after our people and ensuring they have the wellbeing support they need to positively impact their day-to-day lives.

Kingswood needed support for their digital marketing efforts, including a dedicated Google Ads lead generation campaign and SEO to enhance website visibility. This was a bold move for Kingswood, considering the challenges of engaging a sensitive client base amid uncertain market conditions.

This led to the development of targeted ad groups, effectively reaching the right audiences at the optimal times. Collaboratively, we made real-time adjustments based on data, achieving click-through rates exceeding the financial services average by over 5%. Post-campaign, Kingswood secured high financial assets from just two clients, solidifying our winning formula.

This was all designed to uncover the best route to meet the needs, behaviours and desires of the Wates stakeholder audience.   

We found its business structure and hierarchy was confusing and lacked clarity both internally and externally. After delivering on a well-rounded research and insights framework, we then moved into a brand redevelopment project that would allow us to rectify some of the challenges uncovered in the brand audit of the project. After months of refinement, DRPG provided Wates with a series of strategic and tangible deliverables that would propel the brand forward, re-energising Wates for its long-term future.

This qualitative data shaped our recommendations for D&I improvements. Subsequently, MS Amlin Business Services initiated work streams, launching the D&I Matters hub led by inclusive employee networks. There was a huge update from the start with many employees joining the network. These efforts have garnered attention from the parent company, with discussions to extend the D&I Matters approach across the Group.

The festivities commenced with a star-studded kick-off featuring Paddy McGuinness at the Salford offices, followed by intimate touring broadcasts called Now and Then and a grand recognition evening at the iconic Radio Theatre at the Old Broadcasting House. 

Throughout, star-studded micro-surprises like Sara Cox disguised as a security guard and Scott Mills making you a brew in the office added to the jubilation. All 100 BBC sites engaged 100,000 colleagues physically. Virtual participation reached 13,000 colleagues, with touring activations achieving record-breaking engagement scores, a triumph for the internal communications team. 

EE Live turned a large-scale event into a multi-touch-point experience, reaching 20,000+ colleagues several times right across the UK and Ireland. The kick-off began with a high-production stylised broadcast with colleagues from across the UK tuning in live. What followed was a 6-week roadshow called the Summer of Founders, visiting all 500+ high street stores and 16 contact centres to cascade the key message and drive engagement. This was a complex project with personal at its heart, meaning every touchpoint (and there were thousands) was carefully designed and executed.   

The metrics were fantastic. with engagement in the strategy and leadership team all climbing significantly. Every colleague felt valued, and the content was for ‘them’ and with personal at the heart of the brief – that tells us it was a success.
