It’s been a busy October. A lot of strategy, new business pitching, plenty of design, photography and film, rugby (a few ciders) and quite a lot of lantern making!

Suffolk Community Foundation
We’re working with the Suffolk Community Foundation to make the Sizewell C Community Fund more visible and accessible to the communities it supports. We spent a lovely day with filmmaker Luke Tomlinson at the Community Fund Celebration & Learning Event, capturing portraits and the people behind the projects. We’re filming interviews with grant recipients whose communities are already feeling the positive impact of the fund. Who better to encourage others to get involved than the people who have experienced that positive impact themselves?

Ipswich Book Festival
We kicked off October with the festival photographing across three brilliant days. Working alongside filmmaker Kate Flurrie to capture it all was great fun. Now we’re turning our attention to the impact report, infographics and what’s next for 2027…

St Joseph’s College, Ipswich
We went along to the National Schools Rugby Festival and caught up with our great friend Lucy Bolton, who first introduced us to St Jo’s back in 2019. We had some brilliant years collaborating with Lucy on marketing and events. The rugby festival was our final brief for the school. It was lovely to see the work out in the wild. But perhaps the nicest thing was being there just as spectators. A few ciders, some great rugby and lots of friendly faces. A lovely community to have been part of for the past 7 years.

Save Our Victor
We’ve been working pro bono with a passionate group of trustees to launch the Save Our Victor campaign, helping to raise the funds needed to secure the future of Sailing Barge Victor and keep her in Ipswich. It’s an ambitious challenge; we’re rooting for them all the way!

All About Ipswich Christmas Campaign
Our work with Ipswich Central carries a real sense of responsibility for us. As the town’s BID, Ipswich Central represents and reinvests in the town centre. We want to help give those businesses, and Ipswich, a Christmas campaign we can all be proud of and feel part of. We love working with Lee Walker, who shares our appetite for hard work and making things happen.

Ipswich International Film Festival
And finally, the Ipswich International Film Festival launches this weekend. Our involvement was to design the brand mark, from there, it has been managed and design work created in house. We’d like to wish the team the very best of luck and a fantastic festival! We hope it’s a great success.

Ipswich didn’t get City of Culture this time, but that doesn’t change the positivity we see around us. There is so much to get behind.
This is why we love WHAT we do. On to November …
