we were at the UK independent agencies conference!
Our team had a fab time exhibiting at the inaugural UK Independent Agencies Conference which took place at the lovely Montcalm Marble Arch Hotel in London.
For the very first time, our friends from Pimento, Agencynomics by cact.us, and the Alliance of Independent Agencies came together as a team to host an in-person event to support the United Kingdom’s marketing and communications agency industry—-and what an event it turned out to be!
The conference featured a stellar line-up of keynote speakers from all walks of marketing who addressed everything from sustainability within the agency space, to thriving during the onset of a recession. Our animation agency was one of several service businesses in the communications and creative industries that had the opportunity to exhibit at the conference, and you won’t be surprised to hear that even Sal made the journey into London to be there!
We were excited to offer delegates an immersive experience that transported them from the conference right into the wonderful world of KINDRED, a VR short animation about family and belonging we animated in collaboration with Electric Skies. KINDRED featured in competition at the Venice Film Festival 2022, and was recently accepted into the Raindance Film Festival where it’s been nominated in not one, but two categories!
As a team, we’re really proud of what we’ve achieved with KINDRED, and it warmed our hearts to see so many people enjoying and savouring it for themselves.
Like many agencies, it’s been quite a while since our last in-person conference, and we had such a grand time being back in between the hustle and bustle of IRL networking. All in all, the day was an absolute success—-we reconnected with dear friends, made some new acquaintances, and sat in on some very insightful talks.
From our side to the organisers, the Montcalm Marble Arch, caterers, and food and drink sponsors (Beebot AI and Spotler), a great big lizardy thank you! We take our hats off to all the effort that went into making the day so smooth, effortless and without a hitch.
