From GTC to GMT… ☀️ ⏰ Just two weeks ago, we were on stage at NVIDIA GTC with Unilever. Fast forward to yesterday, and it’s the InterContinental Hotel in Greenwich as one of only nine global partners selected to showcase our work at Unilever’s Partner 2 Win event - alongside Google and Microsoft. This was a massive moment for us, cementing our work in AI-powered content production and digital twins as innovative and hugely influential in helping Unilever move closer to its ambitious GAP 2030 goals.

When our MD Carolyn Laing was away battling and recovering from cancer, it left a huge void in our business. One that felt impossible to fill. You can’t just replace that sheer force of personality and determination overnight. But we had to try. Thankfully, she’s now back and fighting fit, so we sat down with Creativebrief to discuss lessons learned and how the company adapted, forcing us all to grow as leaders and as people ❤️ https://lnkd.in/e-WUwdUC

Up and up and up ⬆️ We’re thrilled to announce a raft of promotions as our 3D offering takes even surer shape and pace. Huge congrats to: 1️⃣ Carly Hackett to Managing Partner 2️⃣ Stéphane Bourez to Head of 3D and Emerging Technology 3️⃣ Bora Demirbilek to Head of Creative Technology These new roles are so well deserved, and we couldn’t be more excited about where the leadership of these three wonderfully talented teammates will take us 🥳 And thank you to LBBonline - Little Black Book for the coverage - https://lnkd.in/eFtF3uDW #promotions #growth #talent

The ink is still wet on our passports 🛂 Unbelievably, it’s been a week since we were on stage at NVIDIA GTC 2025, helping Esi Eggleston Bracey unveil Unilever's groundbreaking move into digital twins. It has been just seven days since Adam Cleaver and Stéphane Bourez showed how we’re partnering with one of the world’s biggest and most innovative companies to find a more efficient and effective way of creating pixel-perfect product visuals at pace and scale 🌍 But that’s the thing about AI-powered creativity at the speed of thought 🧠 Twenty-four hours is an age in this “once-in-a-decade transformation”. Good thing we’re in it for the long haul. So all that’s left to say is, who’s in for 2026? 🗓️ #digitaltwins #ai #contentinnovation #gtc25 NVIDIA Omniverse

Last week, we were right in the mix of next-generation tech at GTC, as well as next-generation talent. Our ACD Zack Gardner broke out his wig and gavel to help judge the Advertising Association UK Cannes Young Lions 2025 print and film categories 🦁🇬🇧. As a past winner and current runner of our Upstarts placement platform (alongside Ellie D'Eath), he loved seeing some incredible work and living vicariously through the new wave of creatives coming through at a blistering pace. Huge shoutouts to everyone involved, and massive congratulations to the winners. You can meet them and see their wares here https://lnkd.in/dVn98Amf #nextgenerationtalent #judging #canneslions #upstarts

NVIDIA GTC 2025 completed 🎮 As we wave goodbye to San Jose, we’re still buzzing from speaking on such an illustrious stage and from all the incredible discussions about AI, next-gen tech and digital twins we’ve had here in California. And GTC has blown our minds 🤯 , did you know... 👬 The global digital twin market is projected to grow 35.7% from 2024 to 2030. Our work with Unilever is leading the way in the CPG/FMCG sector. 🖥️ Personal AI supercomputers are coming, enabling everyone, from developers to students, to prototype, fine-tune, and run AI models from a personal desktop. 🤖 We are getting closer to physical AI becoming a part of everyday life (machines that can perceive, understand, and interact with the physical world), and now we are entirely in the agentic AI phase. Big thanks to the organisers NVIDIA GTC, our amazing partners at Unilever, and everyone we connected with. If you didn’t get a chance to chat - let’s keep the conversation going in the comments, or please reach out to Oliver Disney 🔜 GTC. See you back in London 🇬🇧

And that’s a wrap! 🎬 Adam Cleaver and Stéphane Bourez took NVIDIA GTC 2025 by storm, alongside Esi Eggleston Bracey at Unilever, and we couldn’t be prouder 👏. When we decided to invest in real-time 3D R&D, we could never have imagined we’d be here so quickly 🚀 But here we are, helping brands embrace AI-driven content creation, specifically with digital twins, streamlining production while elevating quality. Below is a fantastic example of our digital twin collaboration with Unilever. Missed the session?
