WHO MPOX

Following a rise in the cases of Mpox, previously known as Monkeypox, we created an animation for the World Health Organization to spread awareness about the dangers of the disease, how it spreads, and how to prevent it. The video was translated into eight different languages and was used as part of a Europe-wide campaign, showcasing the ability of animation to disseminate complex information quickly to a wide audience.

DEC UKRAINE APPEAL

After the Russian invasion began in 2022, we helped the DEC to launch their appeal with photos from Poland showing refugees streaming across the border with Ukraine. We have provided ongoing content support since, and in preparation for the one year anniversary of the invasion, our team has been on the ground in both Ukraine and Poland, gathering stories of those affected by the war. The photographs have been widely shared as part of the Disasters Emergency Committee’s Ukraine: One Year On appeal, which has so far raised £400 million, allowing 14 of the UK’s leading aid charities to help those caught up in the conflict.
