We’re Poppy and Lauren. A multidisciplinary Creative Director team, with experience in leading 360 global campaigns.
For the past few years, we’ve been busy heading up the world’s favourite coffee brand at Publicis London. And as a result of our strong working relationships with the brand team, the client, and a commitment to elevating creative standards at a network scale, we’ve taken Publicis London from being Nescafé’s local agency, to a global one. Working with teams across London, Paris, South Africa, and Australia.
We’re proper grafters. We pitch in. We listen. We’re nice to people. We take no nonsense. We still get giddy at that first spark of an idea. We have high standards, good values and very loud laughs.
