Things are hotting up at Chrono Hunter, the worlds first online watch brokerage. Following our work to develop the brand identity and site design our marketing teams are gearing up for launch with an ice-cool new competition with favourite mag shortlist.com.

Chrono Hunter is giving away a Rolex Submariner worth circa £6,000. Encased in a block of ice the prize goes to the person who guesses how long it will take to escape its ice tomb. To find out more about this competition and to enter go to Shortlist and watch out for the dynamic live stream on the 5th November.

gt&i is proud to unveil the new face of Chrono Hunter, a luxury watch brokerage platform which is due to launch later this year. 

gt&i has worked to create a stand out brand which, inspired by Greek mythology, takes a form of Chronos the Greek god of time and transports him to the 21st century. The brand immediately separates itself from the crowded market through the rejection of over used clock-based motifs and by giving the brand a character whose strong and dominating appearance provides customers with a reassuring sense of confidence. 

gt&i now continues its journey with Chrono Hunter, creating the new digital platform and through-the-line advertising campaign. 

Be sure to find out how Chrono Hunter will be changing the face of the industry by registering your interest today at chronohunter.com.

Taking in Brazil and Chile over 14 days and with more than 100 official engagements, gt&i is developing the identity and advertising for an exhibition organised and spearheaded by Iberia Torres-West that captures seven magic days in Santiago, Valparaiso and Pucon - and a bygone era through original photography and film.

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. 

Founder Amy Meshkati has spent more than 30 years pushing the boundaries for hair reconstruction techniques. Today Meshkati offers a range of hair reconstruction solutions including their exclusive, non-surgical NANOPROCEDURE as well as CHEMOSOFT, a technique specially developed for those suffering from hair loss caused by Chemotherapy. 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. Thanks to our more creative ale drinkers the result is a laid back and idiosyncratic new identity and character for the first nationally distributed very-low-alcohol ale.   

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 development offers more than forty stunning four and five bedroom houses priced up to £2 million and stands proud in a fully landscaped and gated development.    

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.
