BEACH
BOD

Stories that
stick around.

Beach Bod started as a simple brief: make people smile. What emerged was a fully-realised animated world — a character-driven narrative built entirely in-house, from initial concept sketches to the final frame.

We believe great advertising doesn't interrupt the story. It is the story. Every frame of Beach Bod was crafted to leave Olly — and the audience — wanting more.

Case Study Breakdown
01
The Brief
Create a short-form animated piece that captures personality and warmth — something audiences would share organically, without a hard sell in sight.
02
The Approach
Full in-house production from storyboards to final render. Character design, environment art, animation, sound — every element built to serve Olly's story.
03
The Result
A film that travelled far beyond its original brief. Festival screenings, industry recognition, and an audience that genuinely cared what happened next to Olly.

How We Work

From blank page
to brilliant film.

Discovery & Strategy
We dig into your brand, your audience, and what you actually need to say. No boilerplate decks — just honest conversations about what will move the needle.
Concept & Storyboard
Ideas land on paper fast. We sketch, pitch, and refine until we have a concept that feels inevitable — one the best version of your brand would always make.
Production
Design, animation, sound, and finishing — all under one roof. No briefing chain. The people who conceive the work are the people who make it.
Delivery & Distribution
We deliver formats optimised for every platform, with a rollout strategy that gives the work its best chance to find its audience.

What We
Do

🎬
Brand Films
Narrative-led films that give brands a world to live in. From 30-second spots to long-form documentary work.
Motion Design
Animation that moves like it means it. Character animation, kinetic type, and visual effects for any screen.
Creative Strategy
Ideas before executions. We work upstream to make sure what we make is worth making — and lands where it should.
Campaign Direction
End-to-end creative direction across integrated campaigns — from hero film to social cut-downs and OOH.
"They made something we didn't know we needed. Then we couldn't imagine not having it."
