Project line up:

  • Screenmedia on their project ‘Thredd 🧵➡️

Thredd, a leading fintech firm, underwent a digital transformation to reposition itself as a confident industry leader after a successful funding round and rebrand. The goal was to create a standout website reflecting Thredd’s ethos of ‘true partnership,’ represented by an interconnecting thread.
Screenmedia integrated Thredd’s bold brand identity into each element of the website, employing parallax effects, horizontal scrolling, and micro-animations to tell their brand story. The design subtly directed users towards exploring key products and services, with a bespoke configurator tool matching users with ideal solutions.
Launched in April 2023, Thredd’s new website, a fusion of innovative design and clear messaging, was hailed by stakeholders, solidifying its place in the market and exemplifying the transformative power of creativity in the digital sphere.

The BBC World Service aimed to enhance global engagement with its extensive podcast content, especially among younger demographics. Tasked with elevating awareness and encouraging downloads, 8MS initiated a comprehensive campaign.

The “Multipod” campaign strategy included two phases: raising brand awareness through digital and above-the-line promotion, followed by targeted consumption efforts. A custom podcast personality quiz served as a tool to determine users’ podcast preferences, offering personalised playlists for exploration and fostering connections within the podcast community.

In the second phase, retargeting strategies led users directly to BBC podcasts on platforms like Facebook, Spotify and BBC Sounds, tailored to their interests.
