Watermill started doing the idents for 118 118 and pretty quickly ended up handling the entire business for five years, reversing the downwards trend of the company and putting them in a position to diversify which we helped them do by launching 118 118 MONEY (a launch so successful that they had trouble coping with the response).
We also re-launched Lee Cooper jeans to an International market with a massive campaign asserting the brand as ‘Big in London’. It was in every media in most countries except the UK.
And this Christmas we got a nice present from next. The Agency averse retailer asked Watermill to handle a 360 degree campaign for the season and we ended up shooting their Festive ads for them.
