gt&i has been appointed to brand and promote a new destination, set in the heart of Florence and in the shadow of the Duomo.

Encompassing the significant part of a city block, the collection of notable buildings span from a 14th Century Palazzo to an award winning 1970s masterpiece, all interlinked with traditional courtyards and spaces.

The area is to be fully reimagined in a seamless blend of old and new delivering more than 150 stunning apartments and some 5,000 sqm of retail, leisure and recreational space. Having led on the research and strategy, gt&i is now working on naming and branding, digital presence, sales and marketing collateral and advertising. The teaser campaign, targeting an international audience is set to break in the FT, Economist and BA in-flight magazines.

gt&i is pleased to be working with project and construction managers Hill International, sales, marketing and development advisors Zoniro, commercial architects Gensler and media agency am-i to bring this new destination to life.

Tribu London, a jewellery company founded in 1998, came to gt&i with an already strong online presence, loyal return customers and real credibility amongst stylists, influencers and celebrities alike.

However the brand had not evolved with the business and its increasingly broad mix of curated designs and styles. A wider audience was being missed.

gt&i is thrilled to reveal the brand refresh. A clean and classic text only logo which allows the brand to be inclusive of the wide variety of cultural influences represented by Tribu. The refreshed simple brand lets the detail and individuality of each piece of jewellery speak for itself.

The new brand is accompanied by an earthy colour palette which celebrates Tribu’s use of natural materials such as organic woods, stones and shells.

We are thrilled to announce that Eulogy’s website has been awarded Agency Website of the Year in the 2017 In2 SABRE Awards EMEA. 

Late last year gt&i was appointed to design and build a new website for the agency. Within six weeks we had delivered a stunning, image driven and fully responsive WordPress based site with a sophisticated client CMS system.  gt&i and Eulogy recognised that the pride of any agency is its work, and that work is what attracts clients, draws in the best staff and drives business. This led us to develop a site where every screen is a high impact advert for the client, with Eulogy the common theme. It demands to be explored and is always fresh, drawing on the rich content created by the agency teams every day and establishing a strong visual identity that is drawn through into all digital channels.

The SABRE Awards recognises the highest achievements in branding, reputation and engagement showcasing the absolute best that public relations have to offer. The In2 SABRE Awards specifically celebrate the finest and most creative content and engagement work.  To take a look at the award-winning website yourself go to eulogy.co.uk

gt&i is proud to have been appointed by Meshkati, world leaders in hair restoration technologies, to deliver their launch advertising campaign promoting their state of the art services delivered from a stunning new clinic in Grosvenor Place.

CHEMOSOFT is discreet, painless and non-surgical.

gt&i has again challenged convention. With the campaign targeting an international UHNWI audience through premium media, gt&i dismissed the predictable ‘before and after shots’ and instead focused on the artistry and skill brought to bear by Meshkati as they restore confidence in their clients. Keep your eyes peeled for the first placement in the FT How to Spend It Beauty Special as well as placements in the Economist and Town & Country magazine. We are also pleased to continue working with Meshkati, completing their branding, website, marketing collateral and PR.

Although it's sad to say goodbye to our Wardour Street home, due to the fast growing team and client list alike, gt&i has moved into shiny new offices in Soho. The agency can now be found behind the imposing black door of number 11 Golden Square just off Regent Street. We are proud to be sharing the Square with luminaries of the creative and media world including the likes of M&C Saatchi, Sony Pictures, Absolute Radio and Clear Channel to name a few.

It's a much needed move to support ongoing client work as well as recent wins ranging from Winkworth's national brand campaign, to branding, product and packaging design for arriviste brewing company Little Big Beer. 

If you fancy a coffee, a client ale, or something stronger - get in touch and we will gladly show you around our new home.  

Little Big Beer, the groundbreaking new craft beer at just 2% ABV has a ‘brand’ new look following gt&i’s appointment by brewers Knife Fork Bottle and Cork Limited.

Little Big Beer packs a big chocolate and fruit punch but won’t knock you out. Coming in kegs and
50cl bottles it is also vegan and brewed in Somerset. So if you are interested in a sample, or stocking, give the team at gt&i a call today. And keep an eye out for Little Big Cider and Little Big Blonde
coming soon...

The team at gt&i are delighted to be appointed by Winkworth to deliver its 2017 brand campaign. Entitled “#HomeTruths”, the campaign launched on Sunday 5th February and includes national and regional press, taxi wraps, cinema and a programmatic led digital campaign. 

Building on Winkworth’s ‘See things differently’ strapline, #HomeTruths creates stand-out in a cluttered, me-too, market. Winkworth CEO Dominic Agace commented: 

“As one of the UK’s leading estate agencies in a highly competitive market, we recognise the importance of seeing and doing things differently. We are delighted to be working with gt&i, who understand the reality of the industry today; estate agencies are an important part of the mix, providing the insights into the market, an unparalleled knowledge of their areas, and increasingly a filter on the volumes of information out there; but they are still seen to be cold fish." 

PR Week and PRCA Agency of the Year is not a bad set of accolades for a communications agency that is just 20 years old this year.  Eulogy works in the UK, and around the globe, with some of the largest business services, corporate and consumer brands. 

And when they were looking to celebrate their birthday they came to gt&i for a birthday brand refresh, a magazine to set out the changing face of London’s communications since 1996 [the year they were founded and google invented] and to make their Brewery party one that their guests 'eulogise' about. 

The party was truly a 'piss up in a Brewery' and if you want a copy of the magazine - or outstanding communications support - speak to Eulogy today. 

Congratulations to the Eulogy team. 

After a competitive pitch we are proud to have been appointed by a multi-Award winning London developer to deliver the marketing and advertising collateral for its latest project.

The appointment builds on more than 40 years team experience in the property sector in the UK and overseas with clients including Barratt Homes, Thracian Cliffs, St James Barbados, Palladio House and Berkeley Homes. 

The West End is packed with landmark sites and streets - and is home to some of the finest creative companies out there.  The team at gt&i claim that they also feel right at home in such esteemed company - and now have a place there to call their own.  

79  Wardour Street is the new gt&i HQ and it is right in the middle of the action. Situated at the junction of Old Compton Street and Wardour Street, look toward the Ann Summers store and, above that, you will see a glorious Soho façade.  Behind this lies a creative warren hosting record labels, model agencies, artists, film editors - and now us.  

You are welcome to drop in any time or give us a call and come grab a coffee at Damson or Bar Italia and we can talk over your next project.

We love Value Retail and the vision of the team behind Britain’s luxury retail wonder Bicester Village - and another 10 locations around the world ranging from Milan to Shanghai.  

And we also know that savvy sophisticates love shopping in the only place that marries high end designer brands and labels with outstanding value for money.  Their Villages are the locations that bring together the best that the world of fashion has to offer with a true luxury retail experience; from chauffeur driven transport to personal shopping assistants. 

Cue our latest campaign to drive sales of Gift Cards for the 12 villages.  With each gift offering amazing choice and the chance to get so much more - Village cards are the gift that let the recipient showcase their own style. Conceived, designed, copywritten and shot by gt&i,  advertising will be appearing later this Summer.
