FIND MY PAST  - ROOTED IN CULTURE

Working with Findmypast we created the new brand platform, ‘Rooted in Culture’. This platform demonstrates how Findmypast offers users the chance
to go beyond the dates and names on their family tree, and delve deeper into the real stories of their ancestors.

Our first two films showcase the genuine real-life stories uncovered using the site – for example in “The Great Aunty Rat Catcher”
we tell the story of Audrey Thompson, who became a champion rat catcher and made local and national news.

Role: Senior Creative, Writer
ECD: Joe Bruce
Directors: Electric Studios


Card to Catcher


Map to Mayhem


Alongside the platform and campaign approach, we also refreshed the visual identity and TOV – defining a flexible, modular approach which works from website to socials, PR and everything in between.
